Setting up the Environment
Before starting the PATROL

Database Administration server, you must:
• set database-specific environment variables
• set BMC_HOME to indicate the location of the executables
• determine the location of BMC_LOCAL (which contains the job
directories)
The following sections discuss these variables and other environment
variables that can be set based on your particular environment and the
products that you will be using.
Setting Database-specific Environment Variables
Before you start the server, you must set the PATH variable and
database-specific environment variables. The following procedures
outline the variables that you should set for each database.

variables that are listed in Steps 1 - 3.
Step 1 Set ORACLE_HOME to the home directory where your Oracle software
is installed.
Example
export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/oracle/7.1.3
