Patch level detected:Dollar Universe 6.3.00
Product Version: Dollar.Universe 6.3.01
Description :When a Uproc of type CL_INT (internal script) contains the command sqlplus, it can happen that the Dollar Universe libraries are found instead of the Oracle libraries. This can lead to a version conflict and will abort the Uproc. So far, the problem has only been detected on AIX.
Environment
OS: All Unix
Cause
Cause type:
Configuration
Root Cause: In unienv.ksh file, the Dollar Universe libraries are added in front of the $PATH variable.
Resolution
The solution proposed below has never been tested in a live environment and should be considered as a guidance and work in progress:
Other solutions may work as well but please consider that the file unienv.ksh should never be changed since it could be overwritten during an upgrade. This solution is independent of upgrades.
While the $PATH variable can be corrected in unienv_specific.ksh, such a solution may be too general since it applies to all Uprocs and Uproc types. This solution uses U_ANTE_UPROC because this gives the possibility to test the variable S_UPROC_TYPE. This is safer because only in the case of internal Uprocs the $PATH variable is changed.
Before testing please verify that on your system the library libclntsh.a is available in the directory $ORACLE_HOME/lib.
If this is not the case modify the script below in such a way that the Oracle libraries can be found.
Please note that since Automic has never reproduced the issue, this solution has never been tested on a live environment. Please test this Workaround in Preproduction / Validation / UAT
Place the script below in the file /data/nodefiles/U_ANTE_UPROC and make sure that it is executable.
