I’m working on re-compiling some Pro*C code that no one currently at my company has ever compiled. It’s compiling OK, but when I copy it to the production server and run it I’m getting Oracle error ORA-12547 (TNS: lost contact)

Any ideas?

    Oh, figured it out. 🙂

    The C executable isn’t run directly on the server, but launched through a script that sets up the connection environment. i.e. something like this:

    export SHLIB_PATH=/oracleDatabaseSidHere/oracle/10.2/lib:/usr/lib:/oracleDatabaseSidHere/oracle/10.2/odg/lib
export ORACLE_BASE=/oracleDatabaseSidHere/oracle
export ORACLE_SID=oracleDatabaseSidHere
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracleDatabaseSidHere/oracle/10.2

# Set up the path and executable to run
PATH=.\:$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/usrlocal/bin
PATH=$PATH:/path_to_application_logs

cd /path_to_application
application
