Environment variable settings for the Oracle database

Set the environment variables for Oracle by editing the .profile file.

Required environment variables include.

• ORACLE_SID=itimdb
• ORACLE_BASE=/home/oracle/app/oracle
• ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1
• PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin;$PATH

Source the profile on UNIX operating systems that update the environment variables in the current session. This task ensures that ISIM can communicate with the database. To source the profile, enter the following command:

# . /.profile

See the Oracle official website.
