Pre-installation tasks

  1. Confirm that your NonStop system meets all the hardware and software requirements.

  2. Ensure that TMF is configured and running on the system where you will install SQL/MX.

    TMF is required for SQL compilation and for execution of all SQL/MX utilities and all DDL and DML statements that require TMF transactions. Note that all SQL/MX objects must reside on volumes audited by TMF. The software program files need not reside on audited volumes.

    For TMF installation guidelines, see the TMF Planning and Configuration Guide.

  3. Set the Java path for a supported Java version on NonStop:

    1. Open the profile (/etc/profile for the OSS shell):

      /etc: vi profile

    2. In the profile, set the PATH environment variable to include the path of the Java bin directory:

      export PATH=<java-install-directory>/bin:$PATH

      For example, export PATH=/usr/tandem/nssjava/jdk160_h60/bin:$PATH.

    3. To activate the changes, either log out and log in again or source the /etc/profile file:

      /etc: . ./profile

    NOTE:

    The file /etc/profile is a global profile file. Each new login shell runs the global profile file. If you do not have permission to edit the global profile file or do not want these settings to be applied globally, do the above settings in the local .profile file in your $HOME directory instead.

  4. Set the JDBC/MX T2 environment settings by entering the following command:

    export CLASSPATH=<jdbc-install-directory>/lib/jdbcMx.jar

    export _RLD_LIB_PATH=<jdbc-install-directory>/lib

    For example,

    export CLASSPATH=/usr/tandem/jdbcMx/T1275L35/lib/jdbcMx.jar

    export _RLD_LIB_PATH=/usr/tandem/jdbcMx/T1275L35/lib
