i am new to shell script. i have a Oracle server which is remote say “Oracle1” and listening to port 1521 i am trying to remotely connect to it through shell script. i am facing some issue in setting environment variables. my script is.

ORACLE_SID=wctest98;
export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_HOME=Oracle1.com:1521/opt/oracle/oracle11g/product/11.2.0;
export ORACLE_HOME
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH;
export PATH
SQLPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin;
export SQLPATH

sqlplus -s /NOLOG << EOF
connect wcadmin/wcadmin@Oracle1.com:1521/wctest98
select * from dual;
exit

EOF

i am getting “sqlplus: not found” error. i am doing it for the first time. i have connected to local Oracle System but not to remote server. feel free to edit…

    Your ORACLE_HOME (below) looks incorrect to me. It should not contain the host and port of your oracle server.

    ORACLE_HOME=Oracle1.com:1521/opt/oracle/oracle11g/product/11.2.0/bin;

    ORACLE_HOME is the path to wherever you have installed the Oracle client on the local machine. For example, it might be:

    ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/oracle11g/product/11.2.0

    Check if you have the sqplus executable in ${ORACLE_HOME}/bin.
