Environment Variables under Bourne/Korn shell

In order to start the Gateway, the environment variables particular to your database must be set.

SYBASE

SYBASE=sybase_directory;export SYBASE
XAPPLRESDIR=resource_directory;export XAPPLRESDIR

ORACLE

ORACLE_HOME=oracle_directory;export ORACLE_HOME
XAPPLRESDIR=resource_directory;export XAPPLRESDIR

For a single database connection, set the ORACLE_SID environment variable to be the connection string for the desired database:

ORACLE_SID=connection_string;export ORACLE_SID
The XAPPLRESDIR environment variable only needs to be set if you need the Gateway to find the DbuimxOrb resource file for Seeds, Hostnames or multiple Oracle databases.

For information on connecting with multiple Oracle databases, see the "Preface" of Getting Started.

INFORMIX

INFORMIXDIR=informix_directory;export INFORMIXDIR
XAPPLRESDIR=resource_directory;export XAPPLRESDIR
For more information on the DbuimxOrb file, see "Configuring Gateway and Database Servers" later in this chapter.
