Oracle Client Example Configuration on UNIX or Linux

About this task

Example environment: Variable settings on the system where the client and Build Forge are installed: UNIX and Linux Systems using Oracle Instant Client 11.2
The Build Forge application has a dependency on library libclntsh.so.10.1, which is part of the version 10.2 client. During installation, the installer checks for this file in ORACLE_HOME. If the file does not exist, the installer assumes that you are using the version 11.2 client and attempts to create a symbolic link from libclntsh.so.10.1 to the corresponding version 11.2 library, libclntsh.so.11.1.
ln -s libclntsh.so.11.1 libclntsh.so.10.1
Important: The user running the Build Forge installer must have write access to the ORACLE_HOME directory. If this is an issue at your site, have an authorized user create the link manually before you install Build Forge. At some sites the client may be installed on a file system that is mounted read-only (common practice with Solaris systems).
