Relink Multi-Tier Database Agents

The following instructions will enable you to relink OpenLink database agents against your database.

1. Insure that you have a C compiler and library linker installed on your database server.

2. cd into the "lib" sub-directory of your OpenLink server components installation.

3. Set and export the OpenLink variable which corresponds to your database. For example:

export INFORMIX7DIR=$INFORMIXDIR	
export INGRES6DIR=$II_SYSTEM/ingres
export INGRES7DIR=$II_SYSTEM/ingres	
export ORACLE7DIR=$ORACLE_HOME
export ORACLE8DIR=$ORACLE_HOME
export PROGRES8DIR=/dbs/dlc8
export PROGRES9DIR=/dbs/dlc9
export SYBASE10DIR=$SYBASE
export SYBASE11DIR=$SYBASE

4. If you use Progress, set and export DLC and PROLOAD. DLC points to the root of the Progress installation. PROLOAD points to the $DLC/probuild directory.

5. If you use Progress, run the preliminary ./mkdlc script which corresponds to your database version. For example:

./mkdlc8
./mkdlc9

6. Run the ld script which corresponds to your OpenLink database agent. For example:

./lddb2mv
./ldinf73
./ldora81
./ldpro9

7. cd to your OpenLink /bin sub-directory.

8. Find your new agent. If it has a different name than the original agent, open your oplrqb.ini file. Change all occurrences of the old database agent name to the new agent name. Restart your Broker.

9. Test.

Note: Progress users cannot relink without a $DLC/probuild/4gl directory. Informix users require an $INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql directory.
