RE: UNIX_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Ron - Thanks, and thanks everyone for the input.

We are using scripts to set the environment variables. The problem turned out to be not all variables were getting set correctly. I read the consensus that LD_LIBRARY_PATH was probably the culprit. I found out that UNIX_PATH is a home-grown variable. I won't get to experiment any more until the next build.

This definitely produced strange problems, hopefully nobody else will hit this. If you do, check your variables.

Dennis,
 When I went to an Oracle Apps demo the instructor had the database and the apps on the same laptop.
 In order to set the environmentals correctly for each part of the demo he had the environmentals
in separate scripts such as appsenv or dataenv. When he wanted to switch environmentals he
would execute the required scripts. It might be a good idea to set each Oracle installation with it's
own environmentals and not set them in the login profile. That way you could switch between
installations be executing the environmental script and possible end some of the available confusion.

The proliferation of Oracle patchsets has me experimenting with multiple
Oracle installations on the same Solaris server. I recently went through
some weird problems in creating a database under this arrangement. It turns
out that the environment variables LD_LIBRARY_PATH and UNIX_PATH were set
but not set correctly. This got me thinking, do I even need to set these
variables?
