Configuring DataConnect Runtime Engine on AIX
To configure Runtime Engine on AIX:
• Set LIBPATH to include the path to <standalone engine install path>/jre/lib/ppc64, var/lib, and <standalone engine install path>/jre/lib/ppc64/j9vm. For example:
export LIBPATH=/opt/Actian/di-standalone-engine-11.X.X-xx/runtime/di9:/var/lib:/opt/Actian/di-standalone-engine-11.X.X-xx/jre/lib/ppc64/j9vm:/opt/Actian/di-standalone-engine-11.X.X-xx/jre/lib/ppc64
• DataConnect for AIX is now compiled using the GNU Compiler GCC. This requires locales to be disabled for parsing XML files. To do this, set or unset the following environment changes:
export LC_ALL=C
unset LANGUAGE
• Set PATH as:
export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/vacpp/bin:/opt/Actian/di-standalone-engine-11.X.X-xx/runtime/di9
• GCC compiler also requires the following packages be installed on the AIX server:
• libstdc++
• libgcc
You can download the RPMs from the following location:
