Reason:

You didn’t hide your siebel env.

Solution:

1.Please execute command “ksh -c env | grep SIEBEL”. This command will show you all the env variables that is related to siebel.

2.Then unset each of them one by one, like

• unsetenv  SIEBEL_LANGUAGE
• unsetenv  SIEBEL_ROOT
• unsetenv  SIEBEL_HOME
• unsetenv  SIEBEL_GATEWAY
• unsetenv  SIEBEL_UNIXUNICODE_DB
• unsetenv  SIEBEL_LIB_DIR

3. After you setup patch, please remember re-set these env variables again, like

• setenv  SIEBEL_LANGUAGE
• setenv  SIEBEL_ROOT
• setenv  SIEBEL_HOME
• setenv  SIEBEL_GATEWAY
• setenv  SIEBEL_UNIXUNICODE_DB
• setenv  SIEBEL_LIB_DIR

TIP:

There is a little bit different between csh and bash.

csh	bash
setenv	set
unsetenv	unset
