I am using AIX 5.3, after I login as an Oracle user, I got a prompt to ask me to give the oracle home directory. If I manually type in ". .profile", it would work.

My AIX team has built this new LPART for me, so I am wondering if there is a setting in AIX that cuased this error.

Thanks so much for your responses!

How are you logging in as the Oracle user?

If you are using 'su oracle' you should issue 'su - oracle'

That will create a new shell and load .profile.
