Verifying environment variables and shutting down Oracle

The following procedure describes how to correctly define your environment variables and how to shut down the Oracle database instances.

To verify environment variables and shutdown Oracle database instances

    Define the variables as follows:

    ORACLE_HOME

    The directory path to the Oracle software location.

    ORACLE_SID

    The name of the Oracle database instance.

  2. Become the Oracle user.
