Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
DataServer for ORACLE

> ## Configuring the local DataServer on UNIX

> To configure the local DataServer on UNIX, you set environment variables. Be sure to set the variables in the same environment (UNIX shell) from which you plan to run the DataServer. Table 5–3 describes the environment variables and how to set them for the local DataServer.

> Table 5–3: Environment variables for the local DataServer
> Variable | How to set it
> --- | ---
> `DSLOGDIR` | The pathname to the directory where the DataServer creates the log file, `dataserv.lg,` to track processes and error messages. By default, the DataServer creates this file in the current directory. (Optional)
> `ORACLE_HOME` | The pathname of the directory where ORACLE is installed. (Required)
> `ORACLE_SID` | The identifier for the ORACLE instance you are accessing. (Required)

> If you plan to use ORACLE Networking to access the ORACLE database, make sure that you have configured the `tnsnames.ora` file as your ORACLE documentation instructs. The OpenEdge client executable must have read access to the `tnsnames.ora` file in the directory indicated by the `TNS_ADMIN` variable in the `oracle.ini` file.

> Once you have set up your environment, you are ready to create a schema holder. See the "Creating, Maintaining, and Deploying a schema holder" section for instructions.
