Setting the ORACLE_HOME Variable for Solaris

Analytics License: All licenses.

Operating System: Solaris only.

Databases: Oracle only.

This topic is part of the Roadmap for Configuring Siebel Analytics Platform.

If you are using some Oracle clients on Solaris, make sure that the ORACLE_HOME variable is set to specify 32-bit Oracle OCI libraries. The Oracle 9i client installation lib directory contains the 64-bit libraries, but Siebel Analytics only supports 32-bit operations.

To set the ORACLE_HOME variable for Oracle 9i clients

1. Specify the path to the lib32 directory in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, not the path to the lib directory.

   setenv ORACLE_HOME /export/home/oracle/9202
   setenv TNS_ADMIN /export/home
   setenv PATH ${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:/opt/bin:${PATH}
   setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/opt/j2se/jre/lib/sparc

2. Run the following command:

   setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH export/home/oracle/9202/lib32:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

3. From $INSTALLDIR/Bin, run the following command:

   ln -s /export/home/oracle/9202/lib32/libclntsh.so libclntsh.so.9.0

   NOTE:  Only certain specific versions of Oracle clients are supported. See Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms.
