Anyone seen this on Linux running 8.1.7?
ORA-07217: sltln: environment variable cannot be evaluated

Please, no Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance replies.

O.K just in case any of you Oracle gurus are losing sleep over this. For some reason Oracle on Linux does not report...

ORA-07200: slsid: oracle_sid not set.

...but gives the 7217 error. This popped up in a weblogic application of ours. The account we define for weblogic never has the ORACLE_SID variable but as the classes12.zip file was duff weblogic couldn't make a sqlnet connection. Putting a kosher zip in place cured the problem.

Just thought you might like to know....

Err...

That's it...
