All required network software that is supplied by your database system vendors must be 32-bit compliant.
If your application was built with 32-bit system libraries, you must use 32-bit drivers. If your application was built with 64-bit system libraries, you must use 64-bit drivers (see "64-Bit Drivers"). The database to which you are connecting can be either 32-bit or 64-bit enabled.
For the Oracle Service Cloud driver: A 32-bit Java Virtual Machine (JVM), J2SE 5 or higher, is required. Also, you must set the library path environment variable of your operating system to the directory containing your JVM’s libjvm.so [sl | a] file and that directory’s parent directory.
The library path environment variable is:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux, HP-UX Itanium, and Oracle Solaris
SHLIB_PATH on HP-UX PA-RISC
LIBPATH on AIX
AIX
IBM POWER processor
AIX 5L operating system, version 5.3 fixpack 5 and higher, 6.1, and 7.1
An application compatible with components that were built using Visual Age C++ 6.0.0.0 and the AIX native threading model
Note: When compiling an application on AIX for use with the Oracle Service Cloud driver, you must not use the -brtl option.
HP-UX
The following processors are supported:
PA-RISC
Intel Itanium II (IPF)
The following operating systems are supported:
For PA-RISC: HP-UX 11i Versions 2 and 3 (B.11.23 and B.11.3x), 11i (B.11.11), and 11
For IPF: HP-UX IPF 11i Versions 2 and 3 (B.11.23 and B.11.3x)
For PA-RISC: An application compatible with components that were built using HP aC++ 3.30 and the HP-UX 11 native (kernel) threading model (posix draft 10 threads).
All of the standard 32-bit UNIX drivers are supported on HP PA-RISC.
For IPF: An application compatible with components that were built using HP aC++ 5.36 and the HP-UX 11 native (kernel) threading model (posix draft 10 threads)
Note: For PA-RISC users: Set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to the libjvm.sl from your JVM installation.
Note: For Itanium users:
Do not link with the –lc linker option.
Set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to the libjvm.so from your JVM installation.
Linux

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.x, 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10.x, and 11.x
An application compatible with components that were built using g++ GNU project C++ Compiler version 3.4.6 and the Linux native pthread threading model (Linuxthreads).
Oracle Solaris
The following processors are supported:
Oracle SPARC
x86: Intel
x64: Intel and AMD
The following operating systems are supported:

For Oracle SPARC: An application compatible with components that were built using Oracle Workshop v. 6 update 2 and the Solaris native (kernel) threading model.
For x86/x64: An application compatible with components that were built using Oracle C++ 5.8 and the Solaris native (kernel) threading model
All required network software that is supplied by your database system vendors must be 32-bit compliant.
