Resolve AWR reporting issues

dbcollect checks for prior AWR usage to make sure it will not trigger Oracle license violations ( More info)

If you get Error [DBC-E021] No AWR or Statspack detected:

# If you are sure you have Diagnostics Pack license:
dbcollect --force-awr

# If you want to ignore databases without AWR usage:
dbcollect --ignore-awr

# If the problem databases are not important, try excluding them:
dbcollect --exclude inst1,inst2
