On each of 3 UNIX-Servers (AIX4.3.3, Oracle8i) I created a new user with the same environment as user oracle.

After connect with SQLPLUS on 2 Servers I get no SQL-Prompt back, with user oracle no problem.

Any idea?

Thanks a lot for help.

Hi,

This is either a UNIX problem or you are running SQL*Plus is silent mode. Do a "SHOW USER" to see it sqlplus is responding. If not, ask your Unix sysadmin to trace the process (truss or the AIX equivalent).

Best regards.

Frank

I tried on several unix-servers (AIX433). creating a new os-user, setting oracle-environment, connecting as os-user, starting sqlplus, type userid and passwort.
On some server I get a sql-prompt, on others I get no prompt. No matter, what version of Oracle.

did you try

% which sqlplus

should be $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus

I use AIX (4.3.3 and now 5L) and have had no problems. I have used Oracle 816, 817, 920 on these OS.

Can you show the sys variables listed below:

ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_HOME
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
SHLIB_PATH
LIBPATH

and PATH ??

I tried the same on different other AIX-servers with different Oracle-Versions (7.3.3, 8.1.5, 8.1.6, 8.1.7) but this problem exists only on one server. When I connect with string "sqlplus user/password@db.world" then it curiously ;-) works. At this moment I do a new installation of my ORACLE_HOME. I let you know what happens then.
Thanks and best regards

Try to view and setup the file login.sql in directory ${ORACLE_HOME}/sqlplus/admin. sqlplus execute this script every time when starts and set prompt as you want.
