Nah, Turns out that there was something dinked up in my Apps_oracle_home test.env file and when appsora.env called it, it was hosing environment variables. I got it to compile (well, to like the commands) early this morning... no thanks to my itars... Now the errors are programming errors where it can't find the standard libraries that it wants, and that ISN'T a me thing... that is a programmer thing. =) April Wells Oracle DBA/Oracle Apps DBA Corporate Systems Amarillo Texas @>-->-->-- "Few people really enjoy the simple pleasure of flying a kite" Adam Wells age 11 "Imagination is the highest kite one can fly."

I believe this is a simple TNS config issue. <ajw, nope, TCP> I also did have a similar issue many moons ago on AIX. The "root.sh" did not set the SetUID permissions on the "oracle" executable and this gave all sorts of problems similar to what you are seeing. Could you check the permission of "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle" for your DB Home? It should have 'rws-r-s--x' or similar... <ajw, those ar the exact permissions> Hth, John Kanagaraj <>< DB Soft Inc Phone: 408-970-7002 (W) Disappointment is inevitable, but Discouragement is optional! ** The opinions and facts contained in this message are entirely mine and do not reflect those of my employer or customers ** The information contained in this communication, including attachments, is strictly confidential and for the intended use of the addressee only; it may also contain proprietary, price sensitive, or legally privileged information.
