May be you're using the sh shell, you have to do it this way:


$ ps
   PID TTY      TIME CMD
  4433 pts/2    0:00 ksh <-- korn shell
$ sh   <-- may be you're using bourne shell 
$ ps
   PID TTY      TIME CMD
  4433 pts/2    0:00 ksh
  4562 pts/2    0:00 sh  <-- bourne shell
$ export ORACLE_SID=admdevs4
ORACLE_SID=admdevs4: is not an identifier   <-- the error you get!
$ ORACLE_SID=admdevs4; export ORACLE_SID  <-- correct sh syntax
$ echo $ORACLE_SID
admdevs4

    oracle 10591     1  0   Sep 01 ?        0:00 ora_pmon_admdevs4 --> Another 
pmon process
    oracle  2690 27665  0 16:36:54 pts/11   0:00 grep pmon
  $ export ORACLE_SID=admdevs4

      How will you change the ORACLE_SID in UNIX?

      export ORACLE_SID temp2

      echo $ORACLE_SID 
      temp

      What I m missing?
