complete checklist for oracle 11.2.0.4 environment variables on AIX 6

User_6KE3DMar 15 2015 — edited Mar 18 2015

Hi,

Can anyone give me the Doc ID for complete checklist for oracle environment variable 11.2.0.4 on IBM AIX 6 platform (64 bit).

Because we get the following from IBM website, we wonder if any other oracle variable need to make a change, or will impact upgrade correctly on AIX.

AIX 5.1 uses an environment variable LIBPATH when loading shared libraries. AIX 5.3 uses LD_LIBRARY_PATH
instead. For backward compatibility, AIX5.3 still uses LIBPATH if it is defined.”

URL: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1015835

So we can actually define both -

LIBPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; export LIBPATH

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; /usr/local/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

there are less companies use AIX to run oracle database than those use Unix/Linux; we are planning upgrade oracle database 11.2.0.3 to 11.2.0.4 on IBM AIX (64bit) os level 6, so we need to double-confirm this.  FYI.

thank you very much!
