Answer 1

Hi,
Thanks for your reply..
Nope.. just had set earlier $ORACLE_HOME and added the $ORACLE_HOME/bin into the $PATH. So I will set up TNS_ADMIN in the oracle user environment.. is that all I need to do?
Dont have any access to the server environment as I have to work through a shared desktop(taking control) :(
Regards,
Abhijit
