SOLUTION

1.SetTWO_TASKtoafullyqualifiedconnectstring,orifTNS_ADMINisset,thenyoucanset

ittoatnsnames.oraentry.

e.g.,

TWO_TASK="(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(Host=myhost)(Port=10201)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=DB102X)))"

exportTWO_TASK

Pleasenotethatyourhost,port,SIDcouldbedifferentthantheabove.

i.e.,SpecifythefullconnectdescriptorintheTWO_TASKenvironmentvariable,sameasinyourtnsnames.ora

2.Echothe$TWO_TASKvariableandensurethatitissettothecorrectvalue.

e.g.,

echo$TWO_TASK

3.Changethepermissionsof$ORACLE_HOMEdirectory,i.e.,

chmod+R755

toalldirectoriesunderORACLE_HOME.
