Getting tired of typing and setting your ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID and troubleshooting your . oraenv ?
going/connecting to different client sites with different platforms and server environments sometimes it is frustrating just how long it takes to get a proper SQL*Plus environment
So I always make use of this script
http://karlarao.tiddlyspot.com/#%5B%5Bstep%20by%20step%20environment%5D%5D
and for every server that I access I just have to do three bits of typing:
. ~oracle/.karlenv <<– set the environment
2 <<– choose an instance
s <<– rlwrap'd sqlplus alias
see example usage below:
[root@desktopserver ~]# su - oracle [oracle@desktopserver ~]$ [oracle@desktopserver ~]$ vi .karlenv <-- copy the script from the "Install environment framework - karlenv" section of the wiki link above [oracle@desktopserver ~]$ [oracle@desktopserver ~]$ ls -la | grep karl -rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 6071 Dec 14 15:58 .karlenv [oracle@desktopserver ~]$ [oracle@desktopserver ~]$ . ~oracle/.karlenv <-- set the environment <HOME_LIST> <HOME NAME="Ora11g_gridinfrahome1" LOC="/u01/app/11.2.0/grid" TYPE="O" IDX="1" CRS="true"/> <HOME NAME="OraDb11g_home1" LOC="/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1" TYPE="O" IDX="2"/> </HOME_LIST> <COMPOSITEHOME_LIST> </COMPOSITEHOME_LIST> 1- +ASM 2- dw Select the Oracle SID with given number [1]: 2 <-- choose an instance Your profile configured for dw with information below: The Oracle base has been set to /u01/app/oracle ORACLE_SID=dw ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1 oracle@desktopserver.local:/home/oracle:dw $ s <-- rlwrap'd sqlplus alias, also you can use the "s1" alias if you don't have rlwrap installed SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.3.0 Production on Thu Jan 5 15:41:15 2012 Copyright (c) 1982, 2011, Oracle.

BTW, parts of the code came from this blog by Coskan Gundogar http://goo.gl/cqRPK and I’ve edited/added some lines on the setsid and showsid sections making it suitable for most unix(solaris,aix)/linux environments
Also I’ve added lines of code before and after the setsid and showsid to get the following info:
- software homes installed
- get DBA scripts location
- set alias
– very useful on troubleshooting if you have multiple homes (RDBMS/Grid Infra/EMGC)
– quickly plugin your script folders by editing the “# SCRIPTS LOCATION” section
– quickly add alias by editing the “# ALIAS” section
Hope I’ve shared you some good stuff!
