Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
DataServer for ORACLE

> ## Running ORACLE

> An instance must be running for the ORACLE database whose definitions make up the DataServer schema image. Before starting ORACLE, you must set environment variables on your host machine.

> | To set environment variables on your host machine and run ORACLE:

> 1. Set the `ORACLE_HOME` variable to the main ORACLE directory.

> 2. Set the `ORACLE_SID` variable to the ORACLE system identifier.

> A process can have the `ORACLE_SID` set to only one value at a time. If you want to access multiple ORACLE databases on the same machine, set an `ORACLE_SID` variable to a different value for each database. Then create a separate broker for each database with the `ORACLE_SID` variable set to the matching value for each database. For more information, see the ORACLE documentation for your machine type.

> 3. Start an ORACLE instance for the target ORACLE database.
