Alex, Thanks for that idea :) - Kirti
-----Original Message----- Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2003 8:04 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Kirti, The next enhancement would be to execute script (from .profile) which will generate all aliases based on oratab. I use something like alias PRMT='. /usr/local/bin/oracle_setup.ksh PRMT' and /usr/local/bin/oracle_setup.ksh will source oraenv and do some additional customization.

Want to change env for another instance? Just type it's name. It is that simple. We do this on all our servers, some with 20+ instances running under 7.3.4, 8.0.x, 8.1.x and 9.2.x. We use only one id for all versions of Oracle s/w. The .profile file sources the alias' file as .local.aliases. This file has entries as below: #Add Database name here using the following format alias PRMT='export ORACLE_SID=PRMT; export ORAENV_ASK="NO";. oraenv;' alias PRMX='export ORACLE_SID=PRMX; export ORAENV_ASK="NO";. oraenv;' alias VP1D='export ORACLE_SID=VP1D; export ORAENV_ASK="NO";. oraenv; cd /u01/home/oracle/admin/VP1D;' alias SDSD='export ORACLE_SID=SDSD; export ORAENV_ASK="NO";. oraenv;' alias SDST='export ORACLE_SID=SDST; export ORAENV_ASK="NO";. oraenv;' alias SVRP='export ORACLE_SID=SVRP; export ORAENV_ASK="NO";. oraenv;' alias SVRT='export ORACLE_SID=SVRT; export ORAENV_ASK="NO";. oraenv;' alias IDSU='export ORACLE_SID=IDSU; export ORAENV_ASK="NO";. oraenv;' alias IWVT='export ORACLE_SID=IWVT; export ORAENV_ASK="NO";. oraenv;' PRMT --> IWVT are the instances running on the server. And finally, do change the UNIX prompt to include current ORACLE_SID, among other things !!
