Cannot create ctxsys.context type index : ORA-29855 ORA-20000 DRG-11206 ...

Question

Hello everybody,
I have from time to time to create Intermedia or Oracle text indexes in Oracle databes, most 10g ones.
Today I did it in a Oracle 10g under Linux RHEL 5, with this few usual commands:
1) connect SYS/**** as SYSDBA;
2) CREATE TABLESPACE "DRSYS" LOGGING DATAFILE '/path_to_index_files/drsys.ora' SIZE 25M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1280K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL AUTOALLOCATE SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;
3) @$ORACLE_HOME/ctx/admin/catctx.sql ctxsys DRSYS TEMP NOLOCK
4) connect ctxsys/ctxsys;
5) @$ORACLE_HOME/ctx/admin/defaults/drdeff.sql;
6) connect sa/*****;
7) CREATE INDEX pj_index ON sa.tpiecejointe(pjcontenu) INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.context parameters ('sync (every "SYSDATE+12/24")');
My issue occured at the 7th step:
CREATE INDEX pj_index ON sa.tpiecejointe(pjcontenu) INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.context parameters ('sync (every "SYSDATE+12/24")')
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29855: error occurred in the execution of ODCIINDEXCREATE routine
ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
DRG-11206: user filter command /dk2/app/oracle/ctx/bin/ctxhx could not be
executed
ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.DRUE", line 160
ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.TEXTINDEXMETHODS", line 364
/dk2/app/oracle/ctx/bin/ctxhx is ok and may be executed by anyone.
I found no reason for this problem on the Web.
If somebody can help, thanks a lot...
Thomas

Hi,
for using the sync parameter, the user needs to be granted to execute a job. Oracle makes a job to do the sync. So issue:
GRANT CREATE JOB TO SMADMIN;
from SYS/SYSTEM.
