SHLIB PATH in 11 i

[cheers4asc]

I am exporting SHLIB_PATH as my user id . when I do su oracle ( not su - ) its not taking SHLIB PATH from previous env ..... its only happening with SHLIB_PATH varaible .... is it bug in 11 i ? any ideas ?

Amol,

Until and unless U R doing su - oracle you will not get the environment though you will get the id of oracle.

Hi,

I've come across exactly the same problem with the SHLIB_PATH being lost when suing to Oracle. Does anyone know if this bug has been acknowledged/fixed by HP?

thanks

If you're doing this in a script, why couldn't you capture the value of SHLIB_PATH before you su and then use that to reset it after you su?
Like:
export CURRSHLIB=`echo $SHLIB_PATH`
su oracle
export SHLIB_PATH=`echo $CURRSHLIB`

At least I think that ought to work.

Hi,

Did you export the SHLIB_PATH for the old profile,

Login as root

export SHLIB_PATH=$SHLIB_PATH:new_path
su someuser

Hope this helps.
