(Optional) Accessing Oracle 9i database

The Oracle 9i Client Adapter is available for you to use in maps on your UNIX System Services (USS) runtime environment.

This adapter allows access to data stored in Oracle 9i databases on remote systems.

To be able to access data using the Oracle 9i Client Adapter:

  1. Install and configure Oracle 9i.
  2. Be sure that Oracle 9i is included in the PATH= environment variable and that other environment variables required by the Oracle 9i database are set appropriately.
    Environment variables required by the Oracle 9i database that are involved with translation from ASCII to EBCDIC require particularly close attention.

    Support is not currently provided for direct connection to an Oracle database on the same z/OS system on which the IBM® Transformation Extender is executing.
