Installed 11g for the first time last week and trying to get myself up to speed with Oracle as part of a week need. I have a database, tables with data in and trying to amend a script to perform some automation.

On a command line if I
Quote:

[oracle@mark-rh6-oracle XXXXXXX]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

System altered.

all is good. However, from the same terminal if I run ( a cut down part of the script ) with the same SID/HOME that has already been previously ...

#!/bin/sh

export ORACLE_SID=markdb1
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1

echo "Switching logfiles"

sqlplus -S <<+++
/ as sysdba

    alter system switch logfile;
    alter system switch logfile;
    alter system switch logfile;
    alter system switch logfile;
    alter system switch logfile;
+++

The result is ...

I know the database is running and I think the script is ok but suspect that something else is not correctly set. Would appreciate some advice on why I'm seeing this problem.

Thanks in advance.... Mark

PATH is not set (at the same value).

Thank you for taking the time to respond. This is something I looked at previously and checked the path from the command line and during execution of the script and they are the same. Just reran the script with the addition of setting the PATH variable to the same as a "echo $PATH" command line response and it makes no difference.

Appended a "/" to the ORACLE_HOME setting and the script started to work. Will amend the main script in the morning and see what happens
Thanks

Thanks for the info.

Have altered the script and it is running now and will cycle through adding data, updating it and taking backups for the next few hours. I'll review the output in the morning along with hunting down a support matrix.

IMO, when ORACLE_HOME has rightmost character being a slash ("/") [as shown in my previous post], errors do result.

we have no idea what you have or do since you only tell us what you think exists,
instead of actually SHOWING us via COPY & PASTE what really exists (or not).

>Have altered the script and it is running now and will cycle through adding data,
new script could be used strictly for testing & simply does

SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL;
EXIT

since actual content of the script is not entirely relevant.
