Hi,

It is highly unusual for the SAP profile to be read from the /oracle/client location irrespective from where it is run.

The ORACLE_HOME is definitely wrongly set. Correct the same. A very crude workaround would be to create a dbs directory in the path below and copy the init.SAP file at the same location.

System is only going to check the parameters.

Thanks and Regards,
