Unset ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN

OS: AIX / IBM 5.2
DB: 10.2.0.1.0
I am installing Oracle on two server.
One is the clean install,
I mean no DB install on that one.
On other server, I am re-installing Oracle Database 10.2.0.1.0 on AIX.
Due to several reasons I need to reinstall same version of Oracle DB.
My question is as follows:
Do I need to unset ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN prior to run runInstaller?
If yes, why?
If I do not do,
what could be the cause?
I think in past I always installed Oracle without unset ORACLE_HOME and its work fine. But I have noticed in the white small installation guide book come along with CD pack. its says "unset ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN" prior to run runInstaller.
Please advice me.
thanks

My enironments variables are set but Quick Installation Guide book comes along with Oracle CD pack stated that.
14) Enter the following commands to enuse that the ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN environment varaibles are not set:
Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell:
$unset ORACLE_HOME
$unset TNS_ADMIN

    How to set multiple ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID, on Windows.
    I have 5 oracle instances. Every time if i want to start up the services , I am manually setting the environment variable (ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID) and starting the services one at a time.
    Can we set multiple ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID in Start->My computer-> properties-> advance-> Environment variable.

  • Oid and tns_admin

    Does OID still support using TNS_ADMIN? The reason I am asking is because when I set TNS_ADMIN and then run netca to make changes, it seems that the changes are going to the files in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin. I am trying to install and test OID without disrupting my current set up of tnsnames and listener.ora.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    DKM

    Hello Diane:
    OID will needs its own instance of the databae created with the UTF8 character set and will have its own tns listener. So the answer is yes. You will need to create a listener for your OID instance.
    Thanks,

  • Isqlplus and TNS_ADMIN

    Hi,
    i want to implement several isql plus servers on the same machine. What i want to do is have a different TNS_ADMIN variable for each one, resulting in a PROD isql, a DEV isql etc. Has anyone done this? I havent managed to figure out how yet. Any ideas gratefully received.
    Cheers,
    Richard.

    I was able to do it by starting two Apache servers.
    I copied $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf to httpd2.conf. I
    edited the new file and changed the Port and Listen directives from
    7777 to a new port, 7779. I changed the PidFile directive to a new
    file.
    I copied $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl to apachectl2 and
    edited its PIDFILE variable to match the httpd2.conf PidFile filename.
    I then started the second Apache with:
    $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl2 start -f $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd2.conf
    The URL to access the second iSQL*Plus server obviously needed to use
    the new port:
    http://host.domain:7779/sqlplus
    I was able to change my TNS_ADMIN before starting the second server
    and change the available network aliases for that server.
    I could also copy isqlplus.conf to isqlplus2.conf, add a
    iSQLPlusConnectIdList option, change httpd.conf to include
    isqlplus2.conf (instead of oracle_apache.conf) and have a drop down
    list for the new iSQL*Plus server.
    I don't know what the Oracle HTTP folks would say about all of this
    though. Use at own risk.

  • Instant client and Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-01019

    For an older Windows app, I am exploring using Windows 32 bit IC  instead of a full Oracle client installation:
    IC 10.1.0.5 works fine for me but has the problem of not being able to connect if run from a folder containing parens ().  ie.,   C:\Program Files (x86).
    IC 10.2.0.3  gives the error "Cannot load any communication DLLs, network may not be installed".  SQL+ works.
    IC 10.2.0.4 gives the error "Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-01019".  SQL+ works.
    Does someone know why these three versions of IC would behave this differently on the same environment?
    I have tried all sorts of things with ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN with IC 10.2.0.4.
    Do you know which client version is the first to have the fix for the known C:\Program Files (x86) connect problem?
    Or are their patches to IC 10.1.0.5 that I could implement ?
    Any help or enlightenment would be appreciated.

    The web server is not seeing the Oracle environment correctly. You need to set PATH to the instant client libraries. ORA_NLS33 is not used for Oracle 10g clients. Perhaps you have some library conflict with two versions of Oracle on the machine?
    These may help:

    hi,
    there is a problem with the connection pools.
    can you check the connection pools assigned in the rpd?
    and also, if a driver for the same has been created in odbc.ini file ?

  • Error while trying to connect to Database using Oracle instantclient

    Thanks

    looks like you didnt complete the install of the instant client. the ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN points to the location of the tnsnames if you dont have the full tns string in your jdbc connection string

  • OBIEE11.1.1.6 OCI

    Hi,
    I'm using BIEE11.1.1.6,
    and I use OCI to import data,
    now my problem is I can import table, but when I view data ,it will warning me 'The connection has failed.'
    I have set ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN, put the tnsnames.ora under %TNS_ADMIN%.
    I think if I hasn't set the environment variables,I will not import table.
    then I tried another way,I changed the connection, set the Data source to 'ip:port/SID', also use 'OCI 10G/11G'
    By this way,I can view the data,
    so anyone know why?

    I had this same problem - my OBI EE server is Linux and I am running the Oracle BI Administration Tool remotely on a Windows 7 machine.
    I installed the Oracle client 11g first, the the Oracle BI Client Tools 11.1.1.6. The repository connection was fine and my dashboards are all running and connection to database, but in the remote Administration tool, none of the connection pools could Import Metadata. (TNS error in the logs). I can sqlplus to any of these data sources from this machine no problem.
    Based on your suggestions, I copied my both the client bin folder and then the tnsnames.ora file on the client tools machine from
    Oracle Client BIN
    C:\Oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1\BIN
    to
    C:\Program Files\Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Plus Client\oraclebi\orahome\BIN
    AND
    tnsnames.ora
    C:\Oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1\network\admin
    to
    C:\Program Files\Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Plus Client\oraclebi\orahome\network\admin
    (in this case I had to create the \network\admin folders
    and every connection started working fine
    It doesn't make sense to me that the client tool wouldn't see and use the existing Oracle Home and use the existing client librarires and tnsnames. ora, but whatever works I guess.

  • WL6.1 SP2, Oracle 8.1.7, OCI, ConnectionPool

    Hi,
    i try to set up a database connection from a WL6.1 SP2 running on
    Solaris 8 to a Oracle 8.1.7 DB running on Linux. I have to use the
    Oracle - Driver, not the Weblogic - Driver. CLASSPATH, PATH,
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN are set correct
    (hopefully). When I use the thin - drivers, everything works fine. Now
    I want to switch to OCI and get the following error:
    ORA-07217: sltln: environment variable cannot be evaluated
    I know this error occurs because I did not provide an ORACLE_SID. But
    why do I need to export ORACLE_SID, isn´t the SID provided by the
    ConnectionURL?
    Anyway, if I set the ORACLE_SID explicitely, I get:
    ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
    Do I need to export the ORACLE_SID? If yes, why do i get the 01034?
    The tnsnames.ora is correct, I can connect by using sqlplus to the
    database without any problems ...
    Here is the definition of the connection - pool:
    <JDBCConnectionPool DriverName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
    LoginDelaySeconds="1" MaxCapacity="10"
    Name="BMSP JDBC Connection Pool"

    Any hint is very welcome.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    ok, I solved the problem, it was a "classic" version - conflict. The
    drivers (classes12.zip) came from an 8.1.6 - Version, but the
    libraries were all 8.1.7. Mea maxima culpa ;)
    Anyway, it was hard to find this error, because the errormessages did
    not point to a version - conflict ... so, if anyone of you out there
    encounters the same strange behaviour: Check your versions ;)

  • Troubleshooting PHP ORA-12154

    I have studied the php troubleshooting faq - I have php5+apache2 set up on what I think are two identical servers. One works, the other doesn't. Both establish ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN in the httpd script right before starting httpd.
    I have a test file where I to getenv on both ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN and print them out - they look fine.
    Then the script tries to connect to the database. In the server that fails, I get the error "_oci_open_server: Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-12154" as if it is clueless about ORACLE_HOME. What gives? How can I troubleshoot?

    Ahah! The trick is to make sure that the /home/oracle folder is chmod to 755 from the default 700. All the installed files are neatly 755 except if the baseline /home/oracle folder is 700 httpd can never look in there!

  • How to connect Linux OBIEE repository to database?

    I installed Oracle BIEE.
    Then I uploaded the repository from my Windows BIEE.
    Then uploaded my catalog (web/catalog/)
    Now I must connect my repository to oracle db. How can I do this?
    In Windows I did ODBC connections to my databases. How to connect to databases on Linux?
    Best regards, Teodor

    OK let's start again with all you need to do as you don't clarify if you have done it or not:
    1) Make sure you got a FULL Oracle 10g client installed (check with your DBA). Oracle INSTANT CLIENT is NOT SUPPORTED.
    2) Make sure the OBIEE user that you use to run the OBIEE services has read and execute permissions on all files under ORACLE_HOME for the Oracle client that you wish to use. Even better if you install the Oracle client with the same user as the OBIEE uses to run it's services.
    3) Make sure your Oracle 10g client has the OCI 32bits libraries installed (check in the ORACLE_HOME/lib32 directory that the libclntsh.so.10.1 library exists and it's size is bigger than 0 bytes). OBIEE uses the 32bits libraries.
    4) Configure your OBIEE /OracleBI/setup/user.sh file to make sure your ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN variables are correctly set to the correct values. You also need to set these two:
    export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib32:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    5) Export all the above 4 variables in your current session and test that you can resolve your database name(s) by doing "tnsping DB_NAME".
    6) Restart all your OBIEE services and check that all variables are correctly set (type "env").
    After you have done all that give it a test and let us know if it works.

  • Error connecting OBIEE with oracle 11gr2

    64-bit Windows 7
    i get this error Oxc1 [nQSError:46029] Failed to load the DLL C:\OracleBI\server\Bin\nqsdbgatewayoci10g.dll. Check if 'Oracle OCI 10G' database client is installed.
    i did check that i had this dll file and i do have the file. initially what i did was: 1) Install Oracle 11g R2 client 2) Install OBIEE 3) went to network/admin and made the tns entry in tnsnames.ora
    i have 11g and the error is stating 10g client not installed. Could be problem.
    Somewhere something fundamental is missing . I dont know why this error is coming when i even do "view data" after loading a rpd file offline in OBIEE: Administrator, Physical Pane.
    Please help.

    which version of OBIEE are you using? can you try installing the oracle 11g/10g with 32-bit version and then see it should be able to connect properly. Also check the odbc.ini file where you need to define the ORACLE_HOME and TNS_Admin values properly. And check for PATH and ORACLE_HOME and TNS_Admin environment variables on windows machine using command prompt. if not then define those env variables
    Hope it helps
    Thanks,

  • AGENT steps for Upgrading a database to new release

    I have a 9.2.0.6 database that needs upgrading to 9.2.0.7. The OMA is 10.2.0.2. Are there any special steps required in the upgrade to the database and listener for the OMA? The ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN will be changing to reflect the new software. I know that the $AGENT_HOME/sysman/emd/targets.xml has references to the oracle db version.

    Install base release, Install patchset, Install
    one-off's required.
    ${ORACLE_BASE}/product/9.2.0.7OK. How cost effective is it to go through all that for every Server and Database in an organisation? BTW. How many Servers and Databases do you have in your Organisation?
    The install can occur at anytime while the system is
    up, So all that is needed is the migration of the
    database from the ${ORACLE_BASE}/product/9.2.0.6 home
    to the new home - and one-offs. Again, how do you measure this in terms of cost (resource, Infrastrucure, Time, money to do)? I will do this only if there is requirement for Parallel run of both(e.g. for an environment supporting both component releases). Else, all I need is backup 9206 server and databases to backup media and upgrade to 9207.
    This greatly reduces our downtime and provides fall back if necessary.The difference in down time here is the time you will use to run the installer for binaries (whch takes the least amount of time). You still need the downtime to copy and upgrade the database after you have gone through that long process. And depending on the number of patchsets, CPUs, one-offs that has been applied to 9206, you are spending hours upgrading from 9206 to 9207.
    I am concerned that a simple "Component Release" upgrade will require a lot of resource, Infrastrucure, Time, money to do. What will you do if you are managing databases for 10 different projects made up of 50 Oracle Server Installations, each with 4 Database Environments (Dev, SysTest, CAT and Prod = 200 Databases) and on four different platforms with some housing Terabytes of data. Personally, the process you go through for a Component Release will cost me unnecessary thousands of pounds. So, I will do what you do for only Major Release (e.g 9.2 to 10.1). If it is "really" necessary, I will do it for a Maintenance Release (9.1 to 9.2), but not a Component Release (9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.7)

  • Error while installing 9iAS

    I tried to install 9iAS-Infrastructure first. Installation completed but hanged while linking.
    Later decided to install J2EE & Web Cache option of 9iAS with out the infrastructure.It stopped while setting up install types after 23% of progress, with message:'An error occured while trying to determine the running process'. I hit continue and a dependencies screen came up with a following message : ' oracle 9iAS installation has detected that the Enterprise Manager website is running on this system. Install cannot continue unless it is shutdown. Unset ORACLE_HOME and run the command emctl stop under the bin directory of the 9iAS infrastructure home directory...' I did not type exactly but that is the main point.
    But Infrastructure installation did not go through and i have completely removed all the files from the location where it placed files during its installation.
    I am not sure from where Installer is finding this Enterprise Manager website and the emctl command.
    I did unset ORACLE_HOME env variable before starting the installation.
    Any idea how to clean up.
    Thanks
    RK

    Sorry for the delay in replying. I am trying to install 9iAS on Red Had Linux 8. I looked into /var and i don't see anything related to oracle. the directory under which 9iAS infrastucture was being installed, i removed the entire directory in the process of cleaning up. Still not able to install ias & web cach option.
    Can i try to download Red Hat 9 and do a fresh install. I saw few people have sucessfully installed it.
    Or should i have to go for the Advanced server which is a bit costly for me. I know that is what Oracle recommends to use or on the SuSe flavor.
    Thanks - RK.
