Executing oplrun on AIX platforms

What you should know if you execute oplrun on an AIX platform.

Environment variables

To use both oplrun and databases, the XxPATH strings must be equal to:

oracle<path> : oplrun<path>

Below is an example of how to set environment variables. This setting may be different for your configuration.

ORACLE_HOME=/nfs/oracle/11.1/ppc64_aix53/
ORACLE_SID=ORA11
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/nfs/oracle/11.1/ppc64_aix53/lib:<CPLEX_Studio_Dir>/opl/bin/power64_aix5.3_7.0 
LIBPATH=/nfs/oracle/11.1/ppc64_aix53/lib:<CPLEX_Studio_Dir>/opl/bin/power64_aix5.3_7.0

where <CPLEX_Studio_Dir> is the installation directory for CPLEX Optimization Studio.

Compatible versions

Compatibility of oplrun with AIX operating systems is discussed in Detailed System Requirements (AIX)

Oracle

CPLEX Studio supports Oracle 10 and 11 on AIX. To check this, run:

select * from v$version where banner like 'Oracle%';

It should return something like:

Oracle Database 11g Release 11.1.0.6.0 - 64bit Production

Shared libraries

In the AIX distribution, the shared libraries are named .a, not .so to comply with IBM terminology.
