APPX 5 connectivity to Oracle on Linux

How to configure APPX 5 to store data inside Oracle on Linux.

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 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, 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.

Troubleshooting APPX to Oracle connection

If you try to make a connection to Oracle from APPX and receive a message "*Can't load Oracle Call Interface (libclntsh)" then you might be missing the environment variables required, or you might have them set to incorrect paths. Make sure you downloaded the correct Oracle Instant Client files for your platform and that the bitness is 32 and not 64.

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.
