I've downloaded and installed Oracle Instant Client on my Mac Sierra.
I have also created the tnsnames.ora files and exported its path.
However, when I try to login to the remote Oracle server, I get the following error:
Mridulas-MacBook-Pro:~ mridulaprabhu$ sqlplus demo$security/password#ERPONWEB

ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
When my colleague connects to the same server using the same credentials on windows, he can login.
Someone told me it could be because of the characterset on my MAC. So I have set NLS_LANG to AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII but it still doesn't work.
How can I fix this?
OS X is a Unix variant, and you're running this from a shell. So the $ in your username is being interpreted as an environment variable.
If you do:
echo demo$security/password#ERPONWEB
you'll see that it only shows demo/password#ERPONWEB - unless you happen to have an envorinment variable called security, in which case that will be substituted.
You can escape the dollar symbol to stop that interpretation:
sqlplus demo\$security/password#ERPONWEB
or enclose the entire argument in single (not double) quotes:
sqlplus 'demo$security/password#ERPONWEB'

I wrote a sample shell script trying to execute a SQL file using SQLPLUS.
Here is my shell script
#!/bin/bash
username=$1
password=$2
TNS_entry=$3
schema_version=$(sqlplus -S '$username/$password#$TNS_entry' #schema.sql)
echo "Schema_number: $schema_version";
#./schema.sh username password '(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)
(HOST=SANDBOX.domain)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME=orcl))'
After executing this I am getting below SQLPLUS error.
Schema_number: ERROR:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
ERROR:
ORA-12162: TNS:net service name is incorrectly specified
ERROR:
ORA-12162: TNS:net service name is incorrectly specified
However if I run this manually I can connect to Oracle DB with out any issues, that concludes my SQLPLUS connection string has no issues. I am guessing shell is the culprit here, but couldn't figure out where it causing issue.
sqlplus username/password#'(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=SANDBOX.domain)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=orcl)))' #schema.sql

Connected to:

Can some one take a look at this and help me identify the issue.
Thanks and Regards

I got this working by editing as below. shell acting weird to parse quotes. Not sure this is ideal solution but this hack served the purpose.
#!/bin/bash
username=$1
password=$2
TNS_entry=$3
schema_version=$(sqlplus -S ''"$username'"/'"$password'"#'"$TNS_entry'"' #schema.sql)
echo "Schema_number: $schema_version";
None of my browser are working whenever I query in browser I get the message "ORACLE DATABASE 10g EXPRESS EDITION LICENSE AGREEMENT". What to do?
I too faced same issue and fixed the issue by following these steps. Please have a try.
From Start | Run open a command window. Assuming your environmental variables are set correctly start with the following:

Now restart the PC and check.
When i open sqlplus it shows
Error 6 Initializing SQL*Plus
Message file sp1<Lang>.msb not found
SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory
Generally speaking, you don't want to set ORACLE_HOME in a Windows environment - it's handled in the registry, and it's given me grief the times I've set it. Here is an Oracle Doc on Oracle Homes.
How many Oracle installations are on this computer?
Ancient question with hopefully a helpful new answer! Ready?
First, as others have said, you must set your ORACLE_HOME (e.g. export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/instantclient_12_2), but secondly, and oddly, you can't be cd'd into the oracle home when you run sqlplus!
$ export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/instantclient_12_2
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME
$ sqlplus

Whoaaa mind blown. It's... a feature?
If ORACLE_HOME & ORACLE_BASE are all properly set,
Make sure that someone does not delete some installation folders/files. I experienced similar problem, in one of my customers, Half of the folders in OraHome had been accidently deleted by the IT Guy.
In my case, ORACLE_HOME in my windows registry was changed when I installed another Oracle tool (Workflow builder in my case), hence I got the following error. After I modified it back to where the Oracle SQLPLUS product was installed, it worked fine. We don't need to set ORACLE_HOME in the environment variables, the system would read it form the registry.

I am trying to import into oracle using imp command and the output of the command is as below.

user name and password are correct(I am able to connect using sqldeveloper). I have granted dba access to n_data. All the environment variables are set (I ran oracle_env.sh before running env ). So what might be the problem? I am running oracle on debian.
Check this blog post: ORA-27123: unable to attach to shared memory segment.
It describes same error as you have and problem was caused with incorrectly set permissions on oracle executable.
This is excerpt from the above blog post:
Here the oracle file permission has
-rwxrwxr-x i.e. 775, but this file must have the permission -rwsr-s- -x
i.e. 6751
Change the permissions for oracle
file.
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
$ chmod 6751 oracle
$ ls -l oracle
-rwsr-s--x 1 oracle dba 119582976 Feb 3 2008 oracle
After changing the permissions on
oracle executable file, all the users
are now able to connect to the
database without any errors.
Read blog post for detailed information.
The error suggests it is trying to connect to an instance on the same host that isn't there. Generally I'd say the database isn't actually up and running, but if you can connect with SQL Developer, it suggests it is. But check you are on the correct machine.
Also try
echo :${ORACLE_SID}:
There may be some stray character in the SID. If you are using XE, you want to see :XE: (in upper case, not mixed or lower)
Have you tried
imp n_data/password#XE
I have the same problem as listed here: How to recover or change Oracle sysdba password although I did not lose the password, I entered it twice in the configure script originally, and then when I went to login (localhost:8080/apex, password not accepted.
I don't have anything in the database, I just want to install and use Oracle-XE. I have tried apt-get removing it twice and reinstalling, but if I try to run /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure again and I get "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition is already configured" despite the second time removing any folders I could find for Oracle XE.
I tried running sqlplus "/ as sysdba" but all I get is:
Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus
Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found
SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory
I tried setting the variable via export. (also tried set).
Tried: export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/sqlplus
and all the subdirectories of that. Same error every time.
What is the ORACLE_HOME supposed to be set to? The only reference I have seen either just say general or say the above up to the version number then "/db_1". I do no thave a db_1.
Let me know if you need any clarification. I don't understand what I did wrong in this process.
Usually the msb file not found problems are the result of an environment setting problem, but in your case I'm a little suspicious of the installation (I've never used the apt-get + configure method).
To check the sanity of the installation:
ORACLE_HOME should be set to a directory path one level above the bin directory where sqlplus executable is found.
There should some .msb files under $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/mesg
There should be hundreds (not sure of the number with XE) of .msb files
under $ORACLE_HOME (try find $ORACLE_HOME -name "*.msb" -print to show them)
Your PATH should include $ORACLE_HOME/bin.
All files under ORACLE_HOME should be owned by user:oracle group:dba.
I had the same issue. In my home folder I've got a script named sqlplus.sh that takes care of this for me, containing:
ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=XE
export ORACLE_SID
NLS_LANG=`$ORACLE_HOME/bin/nls_lang.sh`
export NLS_LANG
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export PATH
sqlplus /nolog
Had the same problem,
All i had to do whas set the oracle shell variable:
. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh
Sorterd!
You have to set LANG as well, look for files named 'sp1*.msb', and set for instance export LANG=us if you find a file name sp1us.msb. The error message could sure be better :)
ORACLE_HOME needs to be at the top level of the Oracle directory structure for the database installation. From that point, Oracle knows how to find all the other files it needs. For example, the error message you get is because Oracle can't locate the message files to report errors with (should be in the various mesg directories below the oracle home. Instead of the above value you give, I would try
export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0
Once I also got that same type of error.
I.E:
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2>SQLPLUS SYS AS SYSDBA
Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus
Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found
SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory
This error is occurring as the home path is not correctly set. To rectify this, if you are using Windows, run the below query:
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2>SET ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2>SQLPLUS SYS AS SYSDBA

Copyright (c) 1982, 2006, Oracle. All Rights Reserved.
Or if you are using Linux, then replace set with export for the above command like so:
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2>EXPORT ORACLE_HOME='C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2'
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2>SQLPLUS SYS AS SYSDBA

This is the right way to clear this error.
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
sqlplus / as sysdba
After installing weblogic and forms server on a Linux machine we met some problems initializing sqlplus and tnsping. We altered the bash_profile in a way that the forms_home acts as the oracle home. It works fine, both commands
(sqlplus and tnsping) are executable for user oracle
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
export JAVA_HOME=/mnt/software/java/jdk1.7.0_71
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/Middleware/Oracle_FRHome1
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/oracle/Middleware/Oracle_FRHome1/lib
export FORMS_PATH=$FORMS_PATH:/oracle/Middleware/Oracle_FRHome1/forms:/oracle/Middleware/asinst_1/FormsComponent/forms:/appl/myapp:/home/oracle/myapp
set <ORACLE_HOME> path variable
example
path ORACLE_HOME
value is C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server
