1. Datastage 8.5
2. Linux 2.6.18
3. Remote Oracle Database version is 11g

1)      Install Oracle client

Install Oracle client 11g in the DS server with user oracle, my install option is ‘Administrator ‘.

 Copy tnsnames.ora file from the Oracle server to $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin.  Please pay attention to the HOST, we can use IP or HOSTNAME.

[oracle@datastage admin]$ cat tnsnames.ora

# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: C:\app\ligj\product\11.2.0\client_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora

# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

ORAJERRY =

  (DESCRIPTION =

    (ADDRESS_LIST =

      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = IBM-RS05L7GG9A3)(PORT = 1521))

    )

    (CONNECT_DATA =

      (SERVICE_NAME = ORAJERRY)

    )

  )

Add ORACLE_HOME in .bash_profile under oracle user.

Login oracle server with:

Sqlplus usera/pwd@ORAJERRY

2)      Configuration on DS server

Add those parameters in the dsenv under DSHOME, following is my:

DSHOME=/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine

export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/client_1

export TNS_ADMIN=/home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/client_1/network/admin

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$APT_ORCHHOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$ORAC                                                                                                 LE_HOME/rdbms/lib

export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$APT_ORCHHOME/bin

export ORACLE_BASE=/home/oracle/app

export LIBPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LIBPATH

[root@datastage DSEngine]# find /opt -name install.liborchoracle

/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/StagingArea/Installed/PxOracle/install/install.liborchoracle

/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSComponents/install/install.liborchoracle

[root@datastage DSEngine]# find /opt -name libccora*

/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/StagingArea/Installed/OracleConnector/Server/linux/libccora11g.so

/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/StagingArea/Installed/OracleConnector/Server/linux/libccora10g.so

/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSComponents/bin/libccora11g.so

/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSComponents/bin/libccora10g.so

My error message are ‘Can’t find libccora10g.so’

[root@datastage DSEngine]# cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib

[root@datastage DSEngine]#ln –s /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/StagingArea/Installed/OracleConnector/Server/linux/libccora11g.so licccora11g.so

[root@datastage DSEngine]#ln –s /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/StagingArea/Installed/OracleConnector/Server/linux/libccora10g.so licccora10g.so

Then execute the ‘/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/StagingArea/Installed/PxOracle/install/install.liborchoracle’ with root user.

[root@datastage DSEngine]# export  DSHOME=/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine

[root@datastage DSEngine]# export APT_ORCHHOME=/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/PXEngine

[root@datastage DSEngine]# vi /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSComponents/install/install.liborchoracle

Alter this:

install_driver() {

  case $version in

     9 ) VER='9i';;

    10 ) VER='10g';;

     0 ) return;;

esac

To

install_driver() {

  case $version in

     9 ) VER='9i';;

    10|11 ) VER='10g';;

     0 ) return;;

   esac

Then can support Oracle 11g client

Execute it

[root@datastage DSEngine]# /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSComponents/install/install.liborchoracle

Installing  Oracle driver.

Installing  driver for Oracle Version 10g

 Oracle driver installation is completed.

Open ‘DS Administrator Client’

Click ‘Environment’ , go to

3)      Restart DS server and IS agent:

1) stop DS engine
[root@datastage DSEngine]# cd /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine/bin
[root@datastage DSEngine]#./uv –admin –stop
2) stop IS agent
[root@datastage DSEngine]# cd /opt/IBM/InformationServer/ASBNode/bin
[root@datastage DSEngine]#./NodeAgents.sh stop
3) start IS agent
[root@datastage DSEngine]# cd /opt/IBM/InformationServer/ASBNode/bin
[root@datastage DSEngine]#./NodeAgents.sh start
4) start DS engine
[root@datastage DSEngine]# cd /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine/bin
[root@datastage DSEngine]#./uv –admin –start 

Then I can connect to Oracle in Designer.
