1. Check LD_LIBRARY_PATH

ORACLE_HOME should be in the path

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

/software/oracle/19c/lib:/lib:/usr/lib

2.Check PATH

ORACLE_HOME should be in the path

echo $PATH

/software/oracle/oracle/.local/bin:/software/oracle/oracle/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/software/oracle/19c/bin:/software/oracle/oracle/bin

3.Check prm files of the extract

EXTRACT ext_i_01

setenv (ORACLE_SID="orainst")

setenv (ORACLE_HOME="/software/oracle/122")  <=== Should be 19c!!

==================
