The following environment variables need to be set when using the Local ODBC Client on Linux/UNIX:
| ODBCINI | location of the odbc.ini file |
| OALOCAL_ODBC_HOME | location of the driver shared lib |
The location of the driver shared libraries must be added to the dynamic library search path.
For each OpenAccess SDK user, set up an OpenAccess SDK environment by running the appropriate shell script in the OpenAccess SDK directory:
-
If using the Korn or Bourne shell, enter: . oalocal.sh
Note: This script can also be sourced from the user’s .profile script.
-
If using the C shell, enter: source oalocal.csh
Note: This script can also be sourced from the user’s .login script.
-
On 64-bit platforms, use the 64-bit versions of these scripts, for example, oalocal64.sh.
