Environment
Release : 8.5
Component : CA Gen Run Time, Distributed
Cause
To avoid having to set the LIB environment variable to include the Oracle directory containing the orasql11.lib file (C:\app\product\11.2.0\client_1\precomp\lib\) the user had changed a line in mkdbs.bat to be the full path to orasql11.lib but had inadvertently included a double quote (") at the end of that full path string i.e.
this line:
if "%iefdbms%" == "oracle11" echo orasql11.lib aecom85n.lib aeuexit85n.lib iefmbt85n.lib >> aecdb.lnk
was changed to:
if "%iefdbms%" == "oracle11" echo C:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\client_1\precomp\lib\orasql11.lib" aecom85n.lib aeuexit85n.lib iefmbt85n.lib >> aecdb.lnk
Resolution
To resolve the problem remove the extra double quote (") from the end of the full path to orasql11.lib i.e.
if "%iefdbms%" == "oracle11" echo C:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\client_1\precomp\lib\orasql11.lib aecom85n.lib aeuexit85n.lib iefmbt85n.lib >> aecdb.lnk
Alternatively do not modify mkdbs.bat and simply add C:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\client_1\precomp\lib\ to the LIB environment variable before running mkdbs.bat i.e.
set LIB=E:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\client_1\precomp\lib;%LIB%
