All required network software that is supplied by your database system vendors must be 64-bit compliant.

  • A 64-bit Java Virtual Machine (JVM), Java SE 8 or higher, is required. Also, you must set the library path environment variable of your operating system to the directory containing your JVM’s libjvm.so [sl | a] file and that directory’s parent directory.
  • The library path environment variable is:
    • LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux, HP-UX Itanium, and Oracle Solaris
    • LIBPATH on AIX

AIX

  • IBM POWER Processor
  • AIX 5L operating system, version version 5.3 fixpack 5 and higher, 6.1, and 7.1
  • An application compatible with components that were built using Visual Age C++ version 6.0.0.0 and the AIX native threading model
  • IBM SDK, JAVA Technology Edition, Version 6 Service Refresh 9 or higher
  • Before you can use the driver, you must set the LIBPATH environment variable to include the paths containing the libjvm.so library and the libnio.so library, which are installed in a subdirectory of your Java Development Kit (JDK). For example, you would add the following paths for Java 8 installed in the /usr directory:

    :/usr/java8_64/jre/lib/ppc64/classic:/usr/java8_64/jre/lib/ppc64

    In this example, /usr/java8_64/jre/lib/ppc64/classic is the location of libjvm.so, while /usr/java8_64/jre/lib/ppc64 is the location of libnio.so.

Note: The driver is compiled using the –brtl loader option. Your application must support runtime linking functionality.

HP-UX

  • HP-UX IPF 11i operating system, Versions 2 and 3 (B.11.23 and B.11.31)
  • HP aC++ v. 5.36 and the HP-UX 11 native (kernel) threading model (posix draft 10 threads)
Note: Do not link with the –lc linker option.
Note: Set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to the libjvm.so of your JVM installation.
