Manually linking AIX (64-bit)

To manually link AIX (64-bit)

  1. Type the following cd command to change directories:
    cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib
  2. Type the following ls command to determine whether the Oracle library exists:
    ls -l libobk.*
  3. (Conditional) Use the mv command to move the Oracle library to an alternate location.

    Perform this step if the output from step 2 shows that libobk.a exists.

    For example:

    mv libobk.a libobk.a.orig
  4. Type the following ln command to create a new link:
    ln -s /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/libobk.a64 libobk.a
  5. If you run into problems and cannot re-link Oracle with the NetBackup API library, you can rollback what you have done. Enter the following:
    cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib64
        mv libobk.so.orig libobk.so
