Case sensitivity on Solaris

I have been struggling with a shell script on Solaris.
The problem was the case sensitivity in unix. The shell script I made is expecting 4 parameters and I wanted the script to treat them case insensitive.
I had an example script from an HP Unix environment, but apparently the syntax on Solaris Unix is a little bit different...
On HP I used the following...

ENVIRONMENT=$(echo $IDENT tr "[a-z]" "[A-Z]")

but that didn't work on Solaris...
But I found the translation on google..

ENVIRONMENT=`echo ${IDENT} tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'`

Hi,
Nice posts that will really help the Apps DBA world. Appreciate it :)


I am an Oracle Apps DBA too looking currently for some real life implementation of a shared appltop.
I want to migrate my multi node instance each having its own appltop to a shared appltop.
I have to merge appltops and share it on a storage system such as Netapp or EMC. I am looking for some additional docs around this area. Can you help?

PS: I have reviewed the Standard Oracle Metalink Notes 233428.1

My email: findarun@gmail.com

Thanks,
Arun
