Setting Environment Variables on Linux and Unix Systems After Manual Upgrades

Check that required operating system environment variables point to the directories of the new Oracle Database release.

Typically, operating system environment variables are set in profiles and shell scripts. Confirm that the following Oracle user environment variables point to the directories of the new Oracle home:

  • ORACLE_HOME

  • PATH

Look for other environment variables that refer to the earlier release Oracle home, such as LD_LIBRARY_PATH. In general, you should replace all occurrences of the old Oracle home in your environment variables with the new Oracle home paths.
