Oracle library

Hey,
I have oracle 10gR2 version 3, and it running perfectly with out any problem.
i am wondering if i want to replace $ORACLE_BASE/LIB/* AND $ORACLE_BASE/LIB32/* with another files from other servers with the same oracle release and version , what will happen?
my Question: can i do that without affecting my DB? and if i did that what should i become ware of?
i think i have some packages corrupted and i have to replace them.
Regards

BRCONNECT unable to find oracle library

Hi
After SAP upgrade to Netweaver 7.0 with Oracle 10.2 on HP-UX system, the BRCONNECT program unable to execute DBA jobs. It is ending with following error with user <sid>adm
Execute logical command BRCONNECT On host <wxyz>
Parameters: -u / -jid CHECK20080812023451 -c -f check
/usr/lib/pa20_64/dld.sl: Unable to find library 'libclntsh.sl.10.1'.
Process died due to signal 9
And if I run it using user ora<sid>, it ends with insufficient privileges.
BR0801I BRCONNECT 7.00 (32)
BR0301E SQL error -1031 at location BrLicCheck-14, SQL statement:
'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM SAP_SAPLIKEY'
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
BR0804I BRCONNECT terminated with errors
The roles granted to users OPS$<SID>ADM and OPS$ORA<SID> are RESOURCE, CONNECT and SAPDBA.
please provide your inputs on these issues i.e. how to make the oracle library available when running brconnect using <sid>adm user and how to remove the "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges" when running brconnect using ora<sid> user.
Thanks
Vinod

Hi All
I have tried executing it on <sid>adm commandline but it is giving same error.

Multi-threaded java application and deadlock down in Oracle library

Hello,
I was running our Java (JDK 1.6_14) application from Windows XP hitting an Oracle (10g) instance on Linux and came across a deadlock issue with two (of 10) threads. Below is the stacktraces (based on Java thread-dump at the command line). This code I've run 30-40 times with no problems of deadlocks.
The Oracle library that we're using for our Java application is ojdbc14.jar and sdoapi.jar (for spatial).
We create our Connection as follows (for each thread -- 10 of them):
public class Worker implements Runnable
private Connection _Conn;
public Worker(...)
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
_Conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
_Conn.setAutoCommit(false);
The code that is already executing these same lines below was already executed by other threads (in their own instance of Worker). So this is very confusing.
Any ideas? Version of the .jar files? Place how we're calling "DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());"?
Thanks, Jim

Thanks Toon for your reply.
Yes each Worker (executing in their own thread) has their own instance of Connection as per the Constructor (shown in original post). That is why this is weird.
I'll check the v$session when I get into work.
Based on our code that I put in the original email, Connection is a non-static variable. We have a per Thread per instance of Worker of which that Worker instance has its own instance of Connection. So I'm wonder if the following needs to occur:
Both of these lines (from original email) need to happen in the main thread as follows:
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
for (i=0;i<NUM_OF_WORKERS)
_Conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
new Worker(_Conn);
Thanks,Jim

Oracle Library Location change

Oracle 8 installs 32-bit libraries in $ORACLE_HOME/lib and 64-bit libraries in $ORACLE_HOME/lib64.
Oracle 9i installs 64-bit libraries in $ORACLE_HOME/lib and 32-bit libraries in $ORACLE_HOME/lib32
I know this change is done definitely on solaris Platform
Could you please confirm all the other UNIX platforms that this change was made on ?
Thanks in advance,
Rajpal Paryani

When I read your title, my first thought was "My Oracle library is exactly where it always has been - top 2 shelves left wall of my office. It's so importannt, why would anyone chage their Library??"
But - in answer to your question, I highly recommend reading the relevant Metalink Note:131321.1 and Note:271451.1

32-bit C++ program call 64 bit oracle library

Currently I had a 32-bit program written in C++, and it called some 64-bit Oracle libraries.
Since occasionally, we found that there is some core dump error when the program executed for more than 3 hours, and our DBA highlight this finding to us.
I would like to check if it is safe to call the 64-bit libraries in a 32-bit program.
How can I recompile my exe to 64-bit
Currently, the program is run on SunOS 5.8
Thanks
Regards,
Eddie

It is not possible for a 32-bit program to link to or dlopen a 64-bit library. So your 32-bit program is not calling 64-bit functions. If you somehow managed to make such a call (and I don't see how you could) the program would crash immediately.
Maybe you mean you are opening a large file (bigger than 4GB) by means of LARGEFILE macros. The program itself is still limited to a 32-bit address space, but can read, write, and move around inside the large file.
If your program crashes, try running dbx, pointing it to the program and the core file and see where it crashed. Or run the program under dbx.
You can compile your program to run as a 64-bit program (automatically getting large-file support) by adding the option -xarch=v9 to every compile and link command line. All parts of the program, including all libraries you use, must also have been compiled with -xarch=v9. The compiler will automatically use the 64-bit versions of system libraries when you use -xarch=v9. If you link to 3rd-party libraries (such as Oracle), follow the vendor's instructions for 64-bit code.
If the program was not written to be a 64-bit program, it might have hidden assumptions that prevent it from working as a 64-bit program. Typical problems are assuming that ints and longs, or ints and pointers, are the same size. For C code, you can use lint options to warn about 64-bit portability problems. For C++ code, you can use the option combination "-xarch=v9 -xport64" to get portability warnings. Refer to the C and C++ manuals for more information.
The Solaris "file" command will tell you whether a program or library uses 32-bit or 64-bit code.
For example:
% file /usr/lib/libc.so.1
/usr/lib/libc.so.1: ELF 32-bit MSB dynamic lib SPARC Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped
% file /usr/lib/sparcv9/libc.so.1
/usr/lib/sparcv9/libc.so.1: ELF 64-bit MSB dynamic lib SPARCV9 Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped

Oracle library for Python

Hi everyone,
I'm starting a little python program that requires oracle support.
Anyone can recommend a good python library?

Jared, I found the test suite in the source code for cx_Oracle and upon investigating a little bit I found that you can simply use the datetime class to pass parameters to an instruction.
I built this test case to work out of the box for you to test. Regarding the python script, just paste it in a file and run it from the command line. I know I could have written a smaller example (the biggest part of the code are comments, error handlers and input parameters checks) but I'm a passionate developer... :)
My locale date format is dd/mm/yyyy and as this script worked ok here I think issues regarding the date format are taken care. I still have to verify if there's some kind of performance penalty using the class (I will try with bulk inserts to check). From a developer view I find this method clearer to use and less code to write.
First the objects to be created in the database.
create sequence dat_test_seq;
create table dat_test_tab (c_id number, c_date date);
create or replace procedure dat_test_prc (p_date in dat_test_tab.c_date%type)
is
begin
insert into dat_test_tab (c_id, c_date) values (dat_test_seq.nextval, p_date);
commit;
end dat_test_prc;
/Now the Python script:
#! /usr/bin/env python
# -- coding: utf-8 --
import cx_Oracle as ora
from optparse import OptionParser
import locale
import datetime as dt
# check the local settings.-
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
dateformat = locale.nl_langinfo(locale.D_FMT)
# a little cosmetic work to output the expected date format
dateformat = dateformat.replace('%', '')
dateformat = dateformat.replace('d', 'dd')
dateformat = dateformat.replace('m', 'mm')
dateformat = dateformat.replace('y', 'yyyy')
# these are the options the script accepts
parser = OptionParser(description="Testing dates as input parameters in oracle using cx_Oracle.")
parser.add_option("-u", "--ora-usr", dest="usr", help="User")
parser.add_option("-p", "--ora-pwd", dest="pwd", help="Password")
parser.add_option("-d", "--ora-dbn", dest="dbn", help="Database")
parser.add_option("-t", "--ex-date", dest="dat", help="Date to be imported, format model: "+dateformat)
(options, args) = parser.parse_args()
for option in vars(options):
    if getattr(options, option)==None:
       parser.error("Wrong number of parameters.")
# we work with the date input parameter to cast a date.-
lexp = dateformat.split('/')
lrea = options.dat.split('/')
try:
dia = int(lrea[lexp.index('dd')])
mes = int(lrea[lexp.index('mm')])
ano = int(lrea[lexp.index('yyyy')])
except IndexError, errmsg:
print "The format delimiter is wrong. Error message: ",errmsg
sys.exit(1)
# We initiate the class passing our values.
try:
dat = dt.date(ano,mes,dia)
except TypeError, errmsg:
    print "Wrong Input parameters for date. Error message: ",errmsg
    sys.exit(2)
# Let's try the database connection
try:
con = ora.connect(options.usr, options.pwd, options.dbn)
con.module = "%prog"
except ora.DatabaseError, errmsg:
print "Connection error. Error message: ",errmsg
sys.exit(3)
cur = con.cursor()
# we execute the procedure, we're passing the date parameter as a python datetime class
try:
    cur.callproc("DAT_TEST_PRC", [dat])
except ora.DatabaseError, errmsg:
print "Execution error. Error message: ",errmsg
sys.exit(5)
# let's see what's in the table:
try:
    cur.execute('SELECT * FROM DAT_TEST_TAB')
    row = cur.fetchall()
    print row
except ora.DatabaseError, errmsg:
print "Execution error. Error message: ",errmsg
sys.exit(6)
# We're done, let's go
con.close()
print "Database connection close."
print "Script ends"Suggestions, criticism and more tips to share are always welcome.

Using Notes and Oracle Client in the same application on Linux crashes

This thread is copied from a thread of the same name under Database - General, since I cannot get any replies there.
Could someone from Oracle PLEASE comment on this.
Our application on Linux loads the Notes client libraries and then the Oracle client libraries. The application will crashes when connectimg to an Oracle server. This is because the T_* symbols in libnnz11.so get fixed up into libnotes.so rather than locally into libnnz11.so where the functions are defined.

We have circumvented the problem for the time being by making sure that we load the Oracle libraries before Notes, but we cannot go with that as a long term solution.
In my opinion the Oracle library is wrongly linked since all the T_* functions are defined in libnnz11.so. When we load Oracle first, the loader debug trace shows the correct fixups. When we load Notes first, the loader trace shows the incorrect fixups. We are using dlopen(libor9i.so, RTLD_LOCAL) for Oracle and dlopen(libnotes.so, RTLD_LOCAL) for Notes. libor9i.so has a dependency on libclntsh.so.10.1.
An opinion would really be appreciated.
Thanks,
John Unsworth

Thanks again.
We don't have an Oracle support contract because we do not use Oracle ourselves. We supply an application that synchronises data between multiple data servers and server types, of which Oracle is one and Notes is another, as well as LDAP servers and many other types.
Producing a full resolved binary is therefore not an option since the types of data server are configured when the apploication is installed, and then the client software for each server is loaded as required.
The end user of the application supplies the client libraries and has a support contract for the servers, in particular Oracle and Notes in this case. So the other option is for the end user to raise a ticket using his support contract, but he is reluctant to do that since he considers that this is our problem as we supply the application that is having the problem. So we are in a dead water area. We do not want to take out a support contract just to get what is an Oracle product problem resolved. I imagine that this problem is something that has not been encountered before, because our use of the client library in conjunction with other client libraries is probably unusual.
So that is why I am hoping, without any success so far, that someone from Oracle will pick this up.

Unable load library '/usr/lib64/php/modules/oci8.so' - libclntsh.so.11.1

Dear all,
I have a problem with OCI8 installation and I would appreciate if you could kindly guide me how to solve this issue.
I started reading the following articles in order to learn how to install the OCI8 package allowing to connect from PHP to oracle
http://www.php.net/manual/en/oci8.installation.php
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/technote-php-instant-084410.html
Here is my environment description
OS: Fedora Core 17 (X86_64)
Oracle version: Oracle Enterprise Edition 11gR2 (11.2.0.1.0) X86_64
PHP Version: 5.4.13
Apache version: 2.2.23Just a detail: almost every documentation starts by explaining the instant client installation. However, on the same physical machine, before even installing Apache and PHP. Oracle server had been completely installed, that is, both server and client (SQL*Plus, SQL*Loader, . . .). As a result, I omitted this step in the documentation and I continued by installation direcly OCI8 and apparently everything was compiled successfully (no error message).
Problem: OCI8 doesn't show up in phpinfo()
So it seems that there is a problem. I'm going to write down exactly how I proceeded and I would appreciate if you could kindly take a look at these steps and tell whether I made mistake(s)
I started by running as ROOT. As I said the oracle server was already installed on the machine and so all the required environment variables such as LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ORACLE_SID, . . . were already defined in ~/.bash_profile
And if you look at the below output, you can see that for example ORACLE_HOME was detected automatically during the installation (*checking Oracle ORACLE_HOME install directory... /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1*)
# pecl install oci8This gave me the following output

Try disabling SELinux. On Oracle Linux you would edit /etc/selinux/config, set SELINUX to DISABLED, and reboot. Also see the setenforce command.Yes !!!!!!!!
Thanks man it worked !! It was SELinux which was blocking the library load. Now I have OCI8 entry in phpinfo(). At the same time as we saw before the PHP in command line could detect OCI8, maybe this means that SELinux doesn't have the same impact in CLI as in GUI. Conclusion, you were totally correct about defining the environment variables in /etc/syscnfig/httpd. The variables were actually defined (with a slight difference in syntax that I will show below), yet SELinux prevented PHP from loading the oracle libraray.
I also wrote a test SQL script (SELECT employee_id FROM employees WHERE department_id = 100) and the result was printed on the screen perfectly.
So for those who may have encountered the same problem with the same environment parameters I'm going to give a summary of how I proceeded in the case where it might be helpful for others.
My environment
OS: Linux Fedora Core 17 (X86_64)
Oracle version: Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit
Apache version (httpd): Apache 2.0
PHP version: 5.4.13
Before the installation
Before the installation I disabled SELinux. At the time of writing I'm not an expert of SELinux so I don't know any rule modification in order to modify SELinux policy accordingly allowing to OCI8 module to load oracle libraries. As a result I finally disabled completely the SELinux on my system which may have serious security impacts! This can be done in the following way (being as root)
# vim /etc/selinux/configThe file content is something similar to the following
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
#     enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
#     permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
#     disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=enforcing
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:
#     targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
#     minimum - Modification of targeted policy. Only selected processes are protected.
#     mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted So what I did was that I put a comment at the beginning of the line SELINUX=enforcing and instead I added a new line right after that line which was SELINUX=disabled.
Finally I rebooted the system.
Installation:
- Make sure that all oracle environment variables are defined in ~/.bash_profile of the user who installs OCI8. Otherwise you will have to enter manually the path to $ORACLE_HOME. I tested both ways and each method works pretty well. Yet I find the first one more elegant because it detects automatically everything
- In my case, PHP, Apache and Oracle server were all on the same physical machine, therefore I didn't need to install the Oracle Instant client*. All the required oracle libraries for OCI8 were therefore already available.
- being as ROOT, I run the following (I don't know whether this was mandatory but I prefered to stop httpd before installing OCI8)
# pecl install oci8(On my machine pecl was already there, if not you can install it by using yum)
- Once installation is over, at the end of the installation report in the terminal you will get something like this

install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/oci8-1.4.9
configuration option "php_ini" is not set to php.ini location
You should add "extension=oci8.so" to php.ini
>
The two bold lines above shows what you have to put in your php.ini file (on my computer this file is in */etc/php.ini* )
So I updated the php.ini file in the following way:
; Dynamic Extensions ;
; If you wish to have an extension loaded automatically, use the following
; syntax:
;   extension=modulename.extension
extension=oci8.so
; Paths and Directories ;
; UNIX: "/path1:/path2"
extension_dir="/usr/lib64/php/modules"Then you have to define the required oracle environment variables for Apache. According to what I read in http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/php/underground-php-oracle-manual-098250.html and in several forums while I was googling for this problem and also based on my own tests, it seems to me that depending on which Apache version you're using, the syntax for declaring the environment variables in */etc/sysconfig/httpd* is not the same.
Here is what I added at the end of the file /etc/sysconfig/httpd
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/lib:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/network/lib
TNS_ADMIN=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/network/admin
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
ORACLE_SID=db01I tried to use the export keyword before the variable names but it didn't work for me, yet I saw in other forums that there were people who apparently had used that syntax successfully. So again it is a matter of personal observation. For me using Apache 2.0, only the above syntax works. Also if I use $ in order to expand the environment variables it doesn't work
so for example instead of writing
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/network/libI had to write explicitly the expanded values myself, that is,
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/lib:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/network/libOnce this is done, restart httpd
# service httpd startIf everything went well, normally you will see the OCI8 entry if you run phpinfo() in a test PHP script.
Hope this may help others,
Once again, thanks a lot to cj for his time and his valuable help for solving my problem.

Is this supposed to be the most reliable database server? A msg to oracle.

Hi, it's been 3 weeks now that I'm fiddling with oracle 11g and I am surprised with the amount of installation/startup/shutdown/management issues that I am facing. I need to evaluate oracle as a possible replacement for sql server, I am supposed to test oracle's scalability vs sql server scalability but so far I was messed up by all kind of installation/management issues. Is Oracle a product always in alpha stage?
I am not new with oracle, I've used oracle 10g in the past and I went through all the oracle library documentation (concepts, dba guide, sql reference etc). By now I am pretty confident with db concepts like control files, redo logs, spfile, tablespaces etc.
I've installed it on 4 machines:
1. windows xp 64bit, 40GB Ram
installation went ok, database + listener + dbconsole started correctly. I did a few things but after rebooting the machine the db did not start! (it complained that it tried to allocate 0 bytes of memory where it needed 2mb for some reason).
dbca is supposed to configure an instance but guess what? To configure the instance if first must start the instance and ofcourse in my case it couldn't start the instance!!!
After reading docs, googling etc, I exported spfile to pfile , manually edited the pfile, imported the pfile as spfile and the db finally started working.
Why on earth a product costing so much can't survive a reboot?
2. centos 5.3 64bit on a P4 machine with 2gb ram
installed ok, database + listener + dbconsole started ok after install. There is no script that I am aware which starts or shuts down the db nor the installer prompted me to install the db as a service (/etc/init.d). So I manually had to create scripts to start/shutdown the db by exporting ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID and using dbstart.sh and dbshut.sh and also calling emctrl start dbconsole.
Which means that if someone doesn't shut down the instance before rebooting linux, will the db shut down abnormally?
I would expect a product that costs £13k to install itself properly on linux. mysql is free but comes with proper installations in most linux flavors.
3. centos 5.3, 64bit on an athlon 64 3000+ with 1gb ram.
installed ok, database + listener + dbconsole started ok after install. As you can guess, it didn't survive a reboot. Anyway to make long story short, I managed to create startup/shutdown scripts and all started working.
Then I tried to play admin for a while, i.e. tried to move tablespaces, backup/restore db, backup tablespaces and so on, using dbconsole. Oh well, I can't count the times dbconsole was failing... Are we the beta testers of dbconsole?
But then I needed to change the domain name of the machine and bang! All db services broken again. After fiddling with listener.ora and other config files that I don't remember, I managed to make db and listener work again but not the dbconsole which doesn't want to start and also I don't know where are the log files (there are so many log folders....) Anyway I am still digging into the documentation.
4. fedora 9 32 bit, 2gb ram. Same issues like #2,#3.
I've the following suggestions for oracle:
1. Less configuration files for oracle's next version.
2. Installation should "do it all" for the user in all operating systems
3. a dedicated testing team for dbconsole - it's just buggy
4. improvements on db,tablespace backups and movements. Is it so hard to create a utility that create a zipped backup of tablespaces or the database which can be used on a different server to restore the files?
I've still not worked on my main task : to test scalability. More comments will follow...
Regards,
Kostas

Hi, found the log file, it is under .../dbhome_1/oc4j/j2ee/OC4J_DBConsole_server.lan_orcl/log
It appears that oc4j was trying to load the encryption keys file from OC4J_DBConsole_localhost_orcl, didn't find it, oc4j was then exiting but emctl was constantly trying to restart oc4j!!! One more cool "feature" of oracle.
Anyway, I managed to fix that issue but now oc4j/dbconsole still doesn't start, dunno why, the log says:

I also got an other problem. I have a heap table and I've created the same table as index organized. I am trying to copy the data over :
insert into header2 select * from header nologging;
But after around 5000 secs, sql developer gives me this error:
SEVERE     117     1314807          java.io.PipedInputStream.checkStateForReceive(PipedInputStream.java:246)
and the dml stops running. I've run that 3-4 times and it fails from 4800 to 5200 secs so I recon a time out is in place, any idea how to remove this timeout?

Oracle 8.1.7 OCI question: Some threads hang in OCIServerAttach indefinetly after rem

Configuration: MS Win2k SP2, MS Visual C++ 6.0 SP6, Oracle 8.1.7 via OCI
I have 128 threads doing the following:
1) Create environment (OCI_THREADED, OCI_ENV_NO_MUTEX), setup handles, try to connect to remote database 2) If connect fails, log the error message and try again after 2 seconds 3) Execute simple stored procedure 4) Disconnect from remote database ( + cleanup of all handles including environment ) 5) ... repeat from 1)
When I go to the remote database and perform shutdown of the whole operating system (by choosing shutdown in Windows), something peculiar happens. First I get: ORA-12500 and ORA-12541 error messages. Then most of the channels go to ORA-12535 error message and they loop in that message until I exit the application. However, some of the threads remain hanging in OCIServerAttach function and do not allow my application to exit.
Needless to say, OCIBreak function doesn't help here (I've tried).
When I attach the debugger to the hanging process, I get the attached stack trace. It looks like some sockets remain hanging - a terrible thing to happen.
In the attachment are also Oracle error descriptions that I mentioned.
I would be thankful for any suggestions here...

Cause: The requested connection could not be completed within the timeout period specified by the CONNECT_TIMEOUT parameter in LISTENER.ORA. This error arises from the TNSLSNR.
Action: Either reconfigure CONNECT_TIMEOUT to be 0, which means wait indefinitely, or reconfigure CONNECT_TIMEOUT to be some higher value. Or, if the timeout is unacceptably long, turn on tracing for further information."

Hi,
What is going on in your case is :
1. Oracle library (OCI) is failing to identify a Dead Connection properly all the time.
2. According to the errors you have received, all of them seems to be appropriate to what you have described in your message.
a. TNS failed to start a dedicated server process. This error is returned when the number of server processes are excessive or memory is low etc - I am not sure why this is returned to you
b. TNS listener is not available - May be the listener has already shutdown, since the system is being shutdown.
c. TNS operation timed out. This will be returned by your local TNS client library, which says CONNECT(socket operation) failed, since the other end has already SHUTDOWN.
Getting an error is good for you, since you can always sleep 2 seconds and reconnect.
The hanging thread is due to a problem that Oracle folks call as DCD(Dead COnnection Detection) logic. The DCD can be turned on by setting sqlnet.expire timeout to be some number of minutes in the sqlnet.ora file. Please check on the Metalink on the DCD issue.
What I have personally seen is that DCD does not always work, even if turned ON.

Hi,
Two oracle library files are missing. Please check it again.
1. Unable to find library 'libwtc9.sl'.
A. This file is not available in /usr/sap/DA1/SYS/exe/run. Check if its not there copy from kernel cd or DVD or some another systems in to the above path.
2. Couldn't load library '/usr/sap/DA1/SYS/exe/run/dboraslib.sl'
A. This file is not available in /usr/sap/DA1/SYS/exe/run. Check if its not there copy from kernel cd or DVD or some another systems in to the above path.
3. Finally, check ENV variales at OS level for sidadm.
sidadm> type env and check DBMS_TYPE =?
Put exact DBMS type here. if its not there export it in to env variables.
4. Check DIR_LIBRARY = /usr/sap/DA1/SYS/exe/run ..it should be like this.

Oracle Client 10.1.0.2.0 Core Dumps

I have a strange problem where I intermittently receive Oracle client core dumps. I am running version 6 of the WebSphere Message Broker, which communicates with a remote Oracle database. I am using DataDirect to connect to the database and am running the following Oracle versions:
Client: 10.1.0.2.0
Database: 10.1.0.5.0 64 bit
The following is an excerpt from the broker’s .odbc.ini file:
[OTDAWMB]
Driver=/opt/IBM/mqsi/6.0/merant/lib/UKor820.so
Description=DataDirect 5.0 Oracle
EnableDescribeParam=1
OptimizePrepare=1
ServerName=DTHU
WorkArounds=536870912
ProcedureRetResults=1
ColumnSizeAsCharacter=1
Here’s the problem:
We submit batch loads where 50,000 messages are put on a queue. Each message processed by the broker involves multiple database inquiries and insert statements. On average we process 10 messages / second which means we’re constantly hitting the database for over an hour. On occasion, we receive a core dump from the broker which points to an Oracle library. The following is an excerpt from the broker’s abend file:
----------------------------- Stack dump for current thread ( 6426)

This can happen at any time and can happen multiple times throughout the load. IBM says it’s a problem with the Oracle client (ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION) and there’s nothing that can be done from their end.
Has anyone run across something similar? Could this be network related?

From dump message, looks like your client are calling whole banch of 32bit library. Are your application server also 64 bit ? Can you try install a 64bit client?
It's also a good idea to patch up your client a bit.
You should also consider submit a SR on metalink.
