Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

Setting SQL client environment variables

In order to successfully run a JDBC-based client application, you must set the system shared library search path to include the OpenEdge run-time shared library ($DLC/lib) as follows:

On Solaris, HP Tru64, and Linux:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$DLC/lib

On HP-UX:

SHLIB_PATH=$SHLIB_PATH:$DLC/lib

On AIX:

LIBPATH=$LIBPATH:$DLC/lib

The commands for the OpenEdge AdminServer (PROADSV), Database Manager (DBMAN), and SQL Explorer (SQLEXP) currently set the necessary directories on the shared library search path for both OpenEdge and Java. You can use these as a reference for your own applications.
