Instead of adding to a 3-year old post, it would be better if you created a new post, referencing the other one as necessary.

It's been a long time since I responded to an application server install question, but the root cause is probably the same -- failure to use LOCAL (or TWO_TASK on Linux) as a variable instead of ORACLE_SID in the dbinit.sde file (as documented in the install instructions).

I have to recommend that you abandon Oracle 10gR2 and adopt 11gR2 as the minimum database release.  ArcGIS 10.4 and beyond doesn't/won't support Oracle 10g or 11gR1 or even 11gR2 below 11.2.0.4.

As Vince wrote, Double check DBINIT vairables

set SDEHOME=
set ORACLE_SID=
set SDEVERBOSE=TRUE
setenv TNS_ADMIN
setenv TWO_TASK
