Oracle Database Discussions

Hello All,

I am trying to call PERL script from dbms_scheduler which makes the database connection using DBD module to read some values to perform the operation. My scheduler job kept failing with the following error:

ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: No such file or directory
STANDARD_ERROR="install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so' for module DBD::Oracle: libclntsh.so.10.1: cannot open shared object file

It can't open libclntsh.so.10.1 file when I run the job, I guess because in job session, it creates a new shell and doesn't inherit the .profile and none of the environmental variables get set. When I run the PERL script manually it works because of all the env variables, so I put all those variables from my .profile into PERL script itself using ENV function but it still doesn't work, failed with very same error. And yes I do set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to $ORACLE_HOME/lib directory. Moreover, if I run the PERL script manually from a shell where I dont inherit .profile, it fails with very same error, so it is related to the environment issues but I have no idea how to fix it. I read somewhere the setting those env variable in PERL script itself doesn't help because by the time PERL get executed all the compilers are already initialized and and they don't use those environement variables anymore then. So the question is how to make it work?

I would really appreciate if someone can help me fixing this, it's gonna change my life here

DB Version: 10.2.0.2 (also tested on 11R2, same problem)
OS: SUSE Linux 64 bit

And here is my libclntsh file in $ORACLE_HOME/lib

$ls -l libclnt*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 epsora epsdba 52 2009-09-15 13:39 libclntsh.so -> /u01/app/epsora/product/10.2.0/lib/libclntsh.so.10.1

-rw-r----- 1 epsora epsdba 36840968 2009-09-15 13:38 libclntst10.a

Please let me know if you need more information about this setup.
