Linking
Oracle 6 & 7 Database Agents
 |
It is sometimes necessary to link or re-link the Oracle database agents for one of the following reasons:
- No executable was supplied. We did not have access to an
Oracle installation at the time but an object file was shipped which can be linked later.
- The executable does not interface to your Oracle installation. The original executable was linked to a version of Oracle whose libraries differ from yours.
After a normal agent installation you should follow the procedure below to build a new executable.
- Go to the openlink/lib directory and locate the file
dbpaths.sample
ie: cd ~/openlink/lib where ~ is any directories that precede openlink.
- Copy this file to a new file called dbpaths
ie: cp dbpaths.sample dbpaths.
- Edit the file dbpaths using an editor of your choice, eg:
vi, and set ORACLE6DIR or ORACLE7DIR equal to your ORACLE_HOME variable depending on your
version of Oracle.
- Run the link script, either ldora6 or ldora7 depending on your version of Oracle. This should automatically build a new Oracle agent (ora6_sv or ora7_sv) and place it in your openlink/bin directory ready for you to use.
Errors in Linking & Other Link Scripts
The Link script provided will be generic across all UNIX platforms and should work with most versions of Oracle. If you encounter errors while relinking then:
1st Check that you are using the most appropriate link script. Available scripts are for versions:
You should choose the one that best matches you version of Oracle. Copy the relevant script to a new file and run it as described above.
2nd Note the library name that is causing you problems, edit the link script using a simple text editor such as VI, and remove the reference to the library.
It is quite common that the link script contains references to libraries that do not apply to you version or platform. Removing them is normal.
If after following the above procedure and linking fails please contact Technical Support who will be happy to help.
The \ character in the scripts signify to the linker that the command is continued on the next line, please leave them in.
