Accessing Oracle Wallet using Oracle sqlplus Instant client - linux

I've configured Oracle wallet successfully in my Linux server(Linux 2.6.32-642.4.2.el6.x86_64 GNU/Linux).
When I try to execute the below command using Database connection string, it works perfect.
$/sqlplus /#TESTDB

But, when I run the same command using sqlplus Instant Client, it's throwing the below error. Please help me to resolve this.

Any way, When I use the Instant sqlplus client to connect using username and password, it works fine.

You may have to recreate the wallet using the specific environment. For example, my oracle-11 client wallet doesn't work when I have an oracle-12 environment defined ... and vice versa. Neither of my client configs are instant clients, but I think the 'secure external password' (aka wallet) store is specific to the client.

Not able to Output to Log File Unix sqlplus

I am simply trying to execute the a query using sqlplus, but nothing gets written in the Log file.
sqlplus -s "USERNAME/PASSWORD#hostname:port/SID" <<< $sql > $fileName.txt
The variables are
sql="select count(*) from dual"
fileName=SONU_CODE_CHANGES
But when I run it nothing gets written in fileName.txt, when I execute on command line, I get the records and when I execute it without -S flag, I get the following written in LOG file

During installation SQLPLUS didn't mention PASSWORD for users " SYSDBA" and "SYS"?

sqlplus unable to find DB instance

I have a linux server OEL 5.8 in which 8 oracle DB instances are running. 4 Db instances are running on Oracle 10.2.0.4 and other 4 on 11.2.0.3. Initially, all the DB instances were running on 10.2.0.4. I upgraded 4 of them to 11.2.0.3. Now the existing linux server is going to be migrated on new location. Server was cloned to the new server location and I got the exact replica of my old server at new location. I was able to start the Oracle 10g DB instances perfectly fine just changing the hostname in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora. However I am unable to start ORacle 11g instances. sqlplus is unable to find the Db instance. $ORACLE_SID, $ORACLE_HOME and $PATH are set to oracle 11g location in environment variables. Pfile exists in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs. But when I try to connect like 'sqlplus / as sysdba' I am unable to find any idle instnace to start.

My question is why sqlplus is unable to find idle instance in oracle 11g to start them?
There was some configuration issue in /etc/hosts. IP was mapped against some different hostname, hence the issue. After mapping IP to correct Hostname issue got resolved.
Its very simply if your Database is already started up, sqlplus will connect to the instance. If instance is not started up, sqlplus will connect to an idle instance by default. Moreover if you want to connect with a specific instance you have to specify #SID_NAME as follows in the sqlplus command
sqlplus / as sysdba#SID

ORA-01031: insufficient privileges as sysdba for sys (even after giving orapwd command)

I have installed an oracle 11g instance on a linux machine. After doing a DB bounce by issuing shutdown immediate and startup. Not able to login as sys/password#sid as sysdba. Even issued a
orapwd file=orapwsid password=password entries=30 force=y
command, which created a pwd file also.
But still not able to login as sys. I can connect to the DB by scott and other users created but not as a sysdba.
Request you to help me.
I got into same issue but did not know that I have to switch to oracle user to get dba access.
$ cd ORACLE_HOME/xe/bin
$ ls -la oracle
-rwsr-s--x 1 oracle dba 165700472 Aug 28 2011 oracle
$ su oracle
$ sqlplus sys as sysdba
You should be able to login without any issues
Make sure you are a dba!
[bb#limbo] ~/ $ . oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [XE] ? XE
ORACLE_BASE environment variable is not being set since this
information is not available for the current user ID bb.
You can set ORACLE_BASE manually if it is required.

I managed to resolved this issue by making sure the instance name case sensitive in listener file. Also the orapw file. If the SID are small case, I make sure all related files using the smaller case intance name.
> $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus as sysdba
this would work if your $ORACLE_HOME is set correctly
to check your $ORACLE_HOME run
> echo $ORACLE_HOME
this will display oracle home path
