You must have missed the part where we just got done arguing for, and extolling the virtues of, running oraenv..... -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sais, Gene Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2009 3:00 PM To: 'eugene.pipko@xxxxxxxxxxxx'; 'Daniel Fink' Cc: 'oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: RE: Why isn't my script running? export ORACLE_HOME=<OH> You do not need oraenv, just create an environment script that sets all your variables and call it from every script you write. I have a common env script for OH and 1 for each SID. I call both from each script. Do not put stuff in your profile. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Eugene Pipko Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2009 2:34 PM To: 'Daniel Fink' Cc: 'oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: RE: Why isn't my script running?

You should use . oraenv as Mark suggested. By hard coding the ORACLE_HOME, you run the risk of breaking the script when you upgrade Oracle and/or move to a new ORACLE_HOME. If you use oraenv, you have a tremendous amount of flexibility in scripting. Maintain your oratab and you don't worry about changing ORACLE_HOMEs and the same script can be used for multiple databases (pass in the ORACLE_SID as a parameter). If you aren't going to use oraenv, you can remove the ORAENV_ASK line...
