Before proceeding to install Oracle files, make sure the
/usr/ccs/bin directory is in the PATH environment variable for the oracle login
name.
About this task
To verify the PATH and environment:
Procedure
- Log in as oracle. Set and export the DISPLAY environment
variable.
If you are using the su command to become oracle, use a hyphen as the second
argument so the oracle user login environment is loaded:
# su - oracle
- Verify that the environment variable ORACLE_BASE has been set by entering the following
command:
$ env | grep ORA
If the response does not include ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle, stop and make sure
the .profile file was set for the oracle user, as described in Run the Oracle client configuration script.
- To verify the path, enter the following command:
$ echo $PATH
The output must show that /usr/ccs/bin is part of the search path. For
example:
/usr/bin:/opt/oracle/product/12.1.0/bin:/usr/ccs/bin
- If this directory is not in the path, add it by entering the following commands:
$ PATH=$PATH:/usr/ccs/bin
$ export PATH
