Configuring your environment for LLA use with Java

SMA and LLA Guide : Creating and running LLA applications with Java : Configuring your environment for LLA use with Java

When using LLA with Java, your LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LIBPATH (Linux and UNIX) or PATH (Windows) environment variable must include the location of the LLA library. The LLA link libraries are available in the <solidDB^®_installation_directory/bin> and <solidDB^®_installation_directory/ lib> directories.

Before you begin

It is assumed that you have installed and registered the solidDB^® JDBC Driver.

About this task

Linked library access (LLA) system libraries

Platform	Static LLA library	Dynamic/shared LLA library
Windows	bin\ssolidacxx.dll	lib\solidimpac.lib This is an import library file that gives you access to the actual library file bin\ssolidacxx.dll.
AIX	bin/solidac.a	lib/libssolidacxx.so This is a symbolic link that gives you access to the actual library file bin/ssolidacxx.so.
HP-UX	bin/solidac.a	lib/libssolidacxx.so This is a symbolic link that gives you access to the actual library file bin/ssolidacxx.so.
Linux	bin/solidac.a	lib/libssolidacxx.so This is a symbolic link that gives you access to the actual library file bin/ssolidacxx.so
Solaris	bin/solidac.a	lib/libssolidacxx.so This is a symbolic link that gives you access to the actual library file bin/ssolidacxx.so

xx is the version number of the driver library, for example, ssolidac70.so.

Note In Linux and UNIX environments, you need to link to the symbolic link library libssolidacxx that is available in the <solidDB^®_installation_directory/ lib> directory. Alternatively, rename the ssolidacxx library in the <solidDB^®_installation_directory/bin> directory as libssolidacxx.

Procedure

1 Add the location of the LLA library to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LIBPATH (Linux and UNIX) or PATH (Windows) environment variable.

In Linux and UNIX environments, use the following syntax:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path to LLA library>:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

or in AIX environments:

export LIBPATH=<path to LLA library>:$LIBPATH

Example:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/solidDB/soliddb-100/lib

In Windows environments, use the following syntax:

set PATH=<path to LLA library>=;%PATH%

2 Set up your database environment by creating a working directory, your solidDB^® database, and user accounts.

For instructions, see Creating a new database in the solidDB^® Administrator Guide.

Note The application and the SMA server processes must have identical file access permissions (database files, log files, and so on). The file access permissions are not checked at startup; subsequently, insufficient file access permissions may cause the SMA server to crash at a later point.
