copying SQLLDR from one Oracle install to another

Question

I am writing a shell script to import some text files into an Oracle database. This script has to in turn invoke sqlldr . I discovered however that this particular Oracle install (let's call it SYS1) does not have sqlldr in it for some reason, and I can't update it by running an installer. I did find another system (SYS2) with seemingly the same version of Oracle installed (11.2.0) which has sqlldr.exe in C:\\Oracle\\product\\11.2.0\\client_1\\BIN . So I copied that exe file, plus whatever was in on SYS2 in C:\\Oracle\\product\\11.2.0\\client_1\\lib that was missing form SYS1. I also defined ORACLE_BASE and ORACLE_HOME . Still, when I invoke the copied sqlldr.exe on SYS1, I get:

Message 2100 not found; No message file for product=RDBMS, facility=ULMessage 2100 not found; No message file for product=RDBMS, facility=UL

What else do I need to do to be able to run the transplanted exe on SYS1? Thx!

Answer 1

First thing missing is the %ORACLE_HOME%/RDBMS/mesg/ulus.msb fiel. There might be more things missing after you copy this one.
