Sqlplus error in UNIX

Hello,
I am having a weird error invoking sqlplus in UNIX. It works fine when I invoke it with the account that I installed Oracle client. However, when I login using a different account, it gives me with the following error:
Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus
Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found
SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory
when I do echo $ORACLE_HOME, it displays the oracle home.
I tried export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/bin/ssaps/oracle/client
When I run sqlplus, it still gives me the same error. what am I missing here?
thanks

Sqlplus scripts on unix hanging

First of all, I have no clue what iSql-plus is. My question is about sql-plus, but there's no dicussion forum for that. Anyways!
I have some unix scripts that trigger pl-sql programs using the following command....
sqlplus myName/myPasswd@myDb myscript.sql
'myscript.sql' is a pl-sql script that contains an 'exit;' statement at the end to close the sqlplus session. the unix script then does some other things afterwards.
Problem: if something goes funny somewhere on our server that causes sql-plus to be unable to connect to the database (eg listener problems, reboot, etc.), sqlplus simply prompts the std-out to try again. My 'exit;' command never runs, so the session hangs. This works when you're logging in as an interactive user, but as a batch script it causes things to totally hang. I need a way to trap the error so that i can handle it. I'd like a good sol'n - not something silly like running it in the background or putting a timer in the script.
Anyone have any ideas? I can't see any command line paramaters that might do this.

iSQL*Plus is the web enabled interface to SQL*Plus. There is a simple 8.1.7 Beta version available for download from OTN. The first production version (which is much improved from the 8.1.7 Beta) will be available with Oracle9i on Windows.
There are various tricks to checking that a database is running. You can use the operating system return code from SQL*Plus to check that a database is it.
Create a script test.sql containing three EXIT commands:
exit
exit
exit
On UNIX in Bourne or K shell:
$ sqlplus scott/tiger < test.sql > /dev/null 2>&1
$ echo $?

Sqlplus: Error while loading shared libraries: libsqlplus.so:

Hi
The Error is as follows:
sqlplus: Error while loading shared libraries: libsqlplus.so: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
Installed R12 with RUP2.
User Oracle already exists.
I tried to create a user appsdev as follows:
#adduser appsdev

#cd /home
#chmod 500 appsdev
login as user appsdev/appsdev
run the env file from $ORACLE_HOME
$sqlplus

if run the env file and sqlplus from user ORACLE.i don't get the error.
but from the appsdev user i get the error.
what should i do to execute sqlplus successfully from appsdev user.
regards,
charan

if run the env file and sqlplus from user ORACLE.i don't get the error.
but from the appsdev user i get the error.Is the "appsdev" user the owner of the application tier? If so, source the env file under %APPL_TOP% and check then.
Did you specify the dba group as the primary group for "appsdev" user?

SqlPlus error messages are daunting, aren't they?

Hello guys,
I am trying to understand the logic of SQLPLUS error messages. I read the User's Guide and Reference but I still don't understand how these line numbers are calculated!!
I make an example. I am writing some stored procedures in a file merge_procedures.sql, that I am editing in my favourite text editor (Crimson editor). Beside, I have SQL Plus running in a dos windows in XP.
The file defines 2 packages and various procedures and functions.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE STRING_FNC
AS
END STRING_FNC;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY STRING_FNC
AS
END STRING_FNC;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE moveSections
AS
end moveSections;
When I run one of the procedures using EXEC procName(args) I get an error:
SQL> EXEC moveSections.mergeUserSections('EMPTY_jbowerstest','A01','XC','G201','
*01.G1','G101','01.G1.G1')*
BEGIN moveSections.mergeUserSections('EMPTY_jbowerstest','A01','XC','G201','01.G
*1','G101','01.G1.G1'); END;*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00001: unique constraint (DEV_XCSA.SYS_C008826) violated
ORA-06512: at "DEV_XCSA.MOVESECTIONS", line 68
ORA-06512: at "DEV_XCSA.MOVESECTIONS", line 88
ORA-06512: at "DEV_XCSA.MOVESECTIONS", line 156
ORA-06512: at line 1
I don't understand how those line numbers are calculated. I mean, why does it claim there is an error at line 1? And how are the subsequent line numbers calculated? i am getting lost since I cannot find any error at the lines indicated.
Please help me. Also references to documentation would be appreciated.
Thanks

Like Danny, I find it helpful to read messages like this from the top down.
The stack above says that the real error, ORA-00001, occurred at line 68 of movesections.
The procedure at line 68 was called from line 88 of movesections. The real error may have occured around this point; for example, if you passed a bad parameter at line 88, then the code around line 68 may be perfect.
The procedure at line 88 was called form lline 156 of movesections. Again, the real error may be at line 156, or somewhere leading up to line 156.
The procedure at line 156 was called from line 1 of some anonymous code, such as
EXEC moveSections.mergeUserSections('EMPTY_jbowerstest','A01','XC','G201','01.G1','G101','01.G1.G1');

Sqlplus call in unix script

Can someone point me to a site where I can get some documentation or good information on the proper way of making a sqlplus call in unix (korn) shell script? I want to know the proper format as well as the right parameters when calling sqlplus. I would like to be able to run a sql statement or call a pl/sql procedure. I've searched the internet and found some information. However, the information are mostly example-type info and not really a well-organized documentation. Would appreciate any help.

This is the forum for the SQL Developer tool, you should ask questions like this in the SQL and PL/SQL forum or the Database - General forum.
Having said that, calling sqlplus is just like calling any other command. You should read the SQL*Plus manual which details all the command line parameters and options.

Errors in unix.pin?

I had a similar problem in older version of Designer.
=
After the .pll where copied into a UNIX directory, I compiled UNIX .plx. After setting the UNIX path for the libraries, the form still would NOT work.
=
The tech support person at Seeristic (maker of DesignAssist ) told me to check the case of the filenames. All the UNIX .pll and plx. filenames where "lower" case. Inside the source code, some of the libraries called other libraries. In one or two cases, the calls where coded with "upper" case text. The libraries worked fine on windows because there is no case sensitity to filenames.
=
I ran all the .pll through a text editor and changed all calls to lower case. Then I compiled window .plx in its directory and compiled UNIX .plx in its directory. The form worked in both UNIX and Windows.
=
If you are deploying on client server/server in both UNIXand Windows, I have developed techniques for having both environments look alike. As you may already know, the UNIX text items have "mote" around the outside for the cursor indicator. If the object library font fills the Windows text item, then the UNIX text is clipped by the "mote". I have developed platform specific object libaries that changes the font size at compile time. Now the forms look similar on both platforms.

Let me know if you what a copy of my technote.

Sqlplus, error with some chars at begining of line

I have a file test.sql with:

@ line error 2
end of test';

Add --@ or --# does not solve my problem, because its part of a text.

>

>
It is the @ that is the problem.
Put an escape character (default \) before the @ or set a new escape char.
See SET ESCCHAR in the SQL*PLUS doc
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16604/ch_twelve040.htm#sthref2081
>
SET ESCCHAR {@ | ? | % | $ | OFF}
Specifies a character to be escaped and not interpreted when used in a file name for
the SPOOL, START, @, RUN and EDIT commands. These special characters are
translated to the following:
■ @ in a filename will be translated to Oracle SID
■ ? is translated to Oracle Home in Unix
■ % is translated to Oracle Home in Windows
■ $ is translated to Oracle Home in certain platforms
While it is not recommended that these characters are used in filenames, if you have
legacy files that do use them, it might be useful to include a SET ESCCHAR command
in your GLogin file to implement it across your site.
If not escaped, the characters @, ?, % and $ have significance when interpreted and
cause errors for the SPOOL, START, @, RUN and EDIT commands.
SET ESCCHAR is set OFF by default.
Example
If you include the character ’$’ in your filename, then
SET ESCCHAR $
RUN MYFILE$
behaves normally.

Mysterious sqlplus error (/tmp/sh$$.* file)

I recently see this error frequently in our system. The log shows something like
/tmp/sh28370.3: cannot open
SQL Error Exiting...
The /tmp/sh<PID>.* file seems to be the sqlplus generated file. I could some some similar files in the /tmp directory generated by other processes. And there is only sql statement inside. I guess sqlplus stores the sql statement to be executed in /tmp/sh<PID>.* files for some reason.
This issue happens randomly but normally at a particular time range during a day. When it happens, many similar processes would fail. There was plenty of space under /tmp when it happens. So, I doubt it's a file system issue. Anyone experienced similar issue before and know how to resolve it?

Are you calling sqlplus from a shell script? Most likely, you are. It is a unix shell bug. For example, [Bug 4698117 |http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do;jsessionid=6d6c73ec231bf090af3be664ecc6?bug_id=4698117]

Visual Studio Error in UNIX FTP for AIX

I am using a VS2010 Web Site Project to access files on our
AIX server (Unix). (Pre-compiled website).
Using Add > Existing Web Site, I have established an FTP session within my project which shows all of the Unix files and folders.
We just found out that there were two folders on the AIX side with the same name, differing case:
/MDM/Custom & /MDM/custom
On the Unix side:
To fix this, I edited the folders to move all of the stuff within /MDM/Custom into
/MDM/custom, then I deleted /MDM/Custom entirely.
So back to VS2010 on the Windows side:
I deleted the website from the project and exited VS.
I deleted all the files in %TEMP% and restarted VS.
I restarted VS and recreated the web site in the project using Add > Existing Web Site.
The only folder showing is /MDM/Custom which has nothing in it.
Refreshing the folders produces error 550. (No such file or directory).
How do I recover from this situation? Where is VS storing the bogus folder name?
P.S.: This is a pre-compiled web project
