Hi,

I am trying to set ORACLE environement (SID, HOME) in a shell script but I am getting an error

I am trying to set it it shell as following (example script)

#!/usr/bin/ksh
export $ORACLE_SID=DB01
ORAENV_ASK=NO
. /usr/local/bin/oraenv
ORAENV_ASK=YES

sqlplus -s system/<pwd> << eof >/u04/scripts/logs/arch_curr.log
alter system archivelog current;
eof
exit

I am getting following error

/u04/scripts/arch_curr.sh[4]: dbhome:  not found
ORACLE_HOME = [] ? /u04/scripts/arch_curr.sh[7]: sqlplus:  not found

I have checked the /etc/oratab as well and DB01 has proper entry init alongwith ORACLE_HOME

what could be the issue?

Thanks and Regards,
Chetana

Does dbhome exist in /usr/local/bin?
Have you /usr/local/bin in your default path?

Is /usr/local/bin in your PATH variable?

Superb!!

The /usr/local/bin wasn't in the PATH variable

After adding it in shell script as following it is working fine now

export ORACLE_SID=SY2KU2
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
ORAENV_ASK=NO
. /usr/local/bin/oraenv
ORAENV_ASK=YES

Many Thanks Michel... It was a great help!!

Regards,
Chetana
