APPX 5 connectivity to Oracle on AIX

How to configure APPX 5 to store data inside Oracle on IBM AIX.

Line: 7 to 7
 

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 IBM AIX platform, specifically IBM's AIX 5.2 product. This wiki site also has instructions for other platforms performing APPX to RDBMS connectivity, Linux x86-64, HPUX PARISC, HPUX Itanium, Sun Solaris SPARC, Microsoft Windows and SQL Server 2005, Microsoft Windows and SQL Server 2008.

Prerequisites

This 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.

Oracle Instant Client

Downloading

Changed:
<
<		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 unzipped the Oracle Instant client files as shown below:
