| | APPX 5 connectivity to Oracle on HP-UX PA-RISC
How to configure APPX 5 to store data inside Oracle on HP-UX PA-RISC. |

I'll use the Oracle Easy Connect syntax to log in.

| | APPX
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, APPX 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 APPX sessions started in that shell session. 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. |
| | Since the environment variables needed to enable APPX make use of the Oracle Instant Client must be present prior to the start of APPX, I've decided to place them in the APPX Login Manager environment variable file.
Environment variables |

| | FMS settings
We need to create an FMS group of type 5 (Oracle) that will point to the Oracle server. To do this we will need the same five pieces of Oracle configuration data that we used when we performed a test connection to Oracle using the Instant Client version of SQL*Plus. The values that I'm using in this example are listed below in parenthesis. |
