Overview | ||||||||
Changed: | ||||||||
< < | Release 5.0.0 or higher of the APPX Utility allows APPX to connect to Oracle via Oracle's Instant Client instead of the Oracle Client Interface. This allows for an easier configuration because the files can be placed on the server by hand instead of making use of an Oracle install routine to place the Client. This document will show you where to get the Oracle Instant Client, where you might place the Instant Client Files from Oracle, and how to make APPX aware of the Oracle Instant Client files so that you can store APPX data inside Oracle. This document will focus on the Linux platform, specifically the Red Hat Enterprise product. This wiki site also has instructions for other platforms performing APPX to RDBMS connectivity, Linux x86-64, IBM AIX, HPUX PARISC, HPUX Itanium, Oracle Solaris SPARC, Microsoft Windows and SQL Server 2005, Microsoft Windows and SQL Server 2008. | |||||||

PrerequisitesThis document assumes you already have Oracle installed on your network and configured to accept connections. For performance reasons, it is recommended that your RDBMS and APPX be on the same server. APPX should also already be installed with the AppxLoginMgr configured to accept logins. |

The connection from APPX to Oracle should work fine to Oracle 10.2.0.4 and above (including 11). I downloaded the 32 bit version of Oracle's Instant Client 10.2.0.4, selecting two file bundles, Instant Client Package - Basic and Instant Client Package - SQL*Plus. I chose the rpm, but the zip packages work just as well. The rpms deposited the Oracle Instant client files as shown below:

Unix/Linux will ignore environment variables such as LD_LIBRARY_PATH, SHLIB_PATH and LIBPATH required for Oracle's Instant Client when called from a SUID binary (which APPX typically is). To accomodate this, you'll want to remove the SUID on appx and configure APPX Login Manager to impersonate the appx user (typically appx) and appx group (typically appxgrp). This is accomplished via the service .ini parameters: | ||||||||
Deleted: | ||||||||

Connections via the APPX Login Manager will then be able to make use of the Oracle Instant Client connection. From the command line, you can connect to the APPX Login Manager via the -c argument to appx like so: | ||||||||

APPXWe can configure APPX now that we know that we can connect to Oracle using the Instant Client library files via the special Instant Client version of SQL*Plus (you did perform that test right?). In order for APPX to successfully connect to Oracle via the Oracle Instant Client, it must have visibility of certain environment variables prior to the start of APPX. Setting these environment variables in the commonly used appx.env file will not work. Setting them in the shell would work for command line APPX sessions. You should consider setting them inside the service environment variable file so that all connections to APPX via TCP (even the text based ones via appx -c) will be able to connect to Oracle via the Oracle Instant Client. | ||||||||

Verify environment variable values via the following path: System Administration > System Setup > Release Information > Environment Variables. Did you set the environment variables inside appx.env? Setting these Oracle connectivity environment variables inside appx.env will not work. These environment variables must be present prior to the appx session starting. Try setting them in the appxLoginMgr environment variable file and then make sure you restart the daemon and reconnect to try the Oracle connection again. |

We can configure APPX now that we know that we can connect to Oracle using the Instant Client library files via the special Instant Client version of SQL*Plus (you did perform that test right?). In order for APPX to successfully connect to Oracle via the Oracle Instant Client, it must have visibility of certain environment variables prior to the start of APPX. Setting these environment variables in the commonly used appx.env file will not work. Setting them in the shell would work for command line APPX sessions. You should consider setting them inside the service environment variable file so that all connections to APPX via TCP (even the text based ones via appx -c) will be able to connect to Oracle via the Oracle Instant Client.

Let's test the Oracle Instant Client with SQL*Plus. You can't test the Oracle Instant Client with just any SQL*Plus. You must use a version of SQL*Plus that was developed to use the Instant Client library files. To perform the SQL*Plus connection we need five pieces of information from your Oracle DBA.

APPX requires a 32 bit Oracle interface for all Oracle connections. Even if your OS is 64 bit, even if your Oracle is 64 bit, APPX requires you to connect to Oracle via the 32 bit version of the Oracle Instant Client. You can download the 32 bit version of Oracle Instant Client here. On my test server here I have APPX installed on Red Hat Enterprise 5 64 bit OS. Oracle is installed on a secondary server - Red Hat Enterprise 4 32 bit. The connection from APPX to Oracle should work fine to Oracle 10.2.0.4 and above (including 11). I downloaded the 32 bit version of Oracle's Instant Client 10.2.0.4, selecting two file bundles, Instant Client Package - Basic and Instant Client Package - SQL*Plus. I chose the rpm, but the zip packages work just as well. The rpms deposited the Oracle Instant client files as shown below:

APPX 5 connectivity to Oracle on LinuxHow to configure APPX 5 to store data inside Oracle on Linux. | ||||||||
Line: 8 to 8 | ||||||||
OverviewRelease 5.0.0 or higher of the APPX Utility allows APPX to connect to Oracle via Oracle's Instant Client instead of the Oracle Client Interface. This allows for an easier configuration because the files can be placed on the server by hand instead of making use of an Oracle install routine to place the Client. This document will show you were to get the Oracle Instant Client, where you might place the Instant Client Files from Oracle, and how to make APPX aware of the Oracle Instant Client files so that you can store APPX data inside Oracle. This document will focus on the Linux platform, specifically the Red Hat Enterprise product. | ||||||||

APPX requires a 32 bit Oracle interface for all Oracle connections. Even if your OS is 64 bit, even if your Oracle is 64 bit, APPX requires you to connect to Oracle via the 32 bit version of the Oracle Instant Client. You can download the 32 bit version of Oracle Instant Client here. On my test server here I have APPX installed on Red Hat Enterprise 5 64 bit OS. Oracle is installed on a secondary server - Red Hat Enterprise 4 32 bit. The connection from APPX to Oracle should work fine to Oracle 10.2.0.4 and above (including 11). I downloaded the 32 bit version of Oracle's Instant Client 10.2.0.4, selecting two file bundles, Instant Client Package - Basic and Instant Client Package - SQL*Plus. I chose the rpm, but the zip packages work just as well. The rpms deposited the Oracle Instant client files as shown below: | ||||||||
