Setting up the Server Environment (Unix Host) 3-3
Step 2 Set ORACLE_SID to the name of one of the Oracle database instances to
which you will connect. It does not matter which database instance name
you use.
Example
export ORACLE_SID=EEY713
Step 3 Run the env command from your Unix shell prompt and verify that your
PATH variable includes the
$ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.
Example
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
This command displays all of the environment variables. Alternatively,
you can run the following commands to check settings:
echo $ORACLE_HOME
echo $ORACLE_SID
echo $PATH
Step 4 To make a local connection (that is not through SQL*Net), ensure that
the Oracle System ID (SID) is listed in your
oratab. In most cases, oratab
is located in either the /etc or /var/opt/oracle directory. If you cannot
locate
oratab, see your systems administrator or refer to your Oracle
installation guide.
Step 5 Set up the Database Administration environment variables as discussed
in the section “Setting PATROL DB-Admin Environment Variables” on
page 3-7.
