• All required network software that is supplied by your database system vendors must be 32-bit compliant.
  • If your application was built with 32-bit system libraries, you must use 32-bit drivers. If your application was built with 64-bit system libraries, you must use 64-bit drivers (see "64-bit drivers"). The database to which you are connecting can be either 32-bit or 64-bit enabled.
  • For the Oracle Service Cloud driver: A 32-bit Java Virtual Machine (JVM), Java SE 7 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
    • SHLIB_PATH on HP-UX PA-RISC
    • LIBPATH on AIX

    See "Driver requirements" for more details on JVM.

AIX

  • IBM POWER processor
  • AIX 5L operating system, version 5.3 fixpack 5 and higher, 6.1, and 7.1
  • An application compatible with components that were built using Visual Age C++ 6.0.0.0 and the AIX native threading model
Note: When compiling an application on AIX for use with the Oracle Service Cloud driver, you must not use the -brtl option.

HP-UX

  • The following processors are supported:
    • PA-RISC
    • Intel Itanium II (IPF)
  • The following operating systems are supported:
    • For PA-RISC: HP-UX 11i Versions 2 and 3 (B.11.23 and B.11.3x), 11i (B.11.11), and 11
    • For IPF: HP-UX IPF 11i Versions 2 and 3 (B.11.23 and B.11.3x)
  • For PA-RISC: An application compatible with components that were built using HP aC++ 3.30 and the HP-UX 11 native (kernel) threading model (posix draft 10 threads).

    All of the standard 32-bit UNIX drivers are supported on HP PA-RISC.

  • For IPF: An application compatible with components that were built using HP aC++ 5.36 and the HP-UX 11 native (kernel) threading model (posix draft 10 threads)
Note: For PA-RISC users: Set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to the libjvm.sl from your JVM installation.
Note: For Itanium users:
  • Do not link with the –lc linker option.
  • Set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to the libjvm.so from your JVM installation.

Linux

    • Oracle SPARC
    • x86: Intel
    • x64: Intel and AMD
  • The following operating systems are supported:
    • For Oracle SPARC: Oracle Solaris 8, 9, 10, 11.x
