Oracle Client upgrade

[JAMpe]

Dear experts,

I have the following issue:

I've done an oracle database upgrade from 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.3. According to the logs that ended well. Then I tried to upgrade the oracle client to 11.2.0.3 by following SAP Note 819829, step 5 says:

5. On SAP systems with kernel 7.00 (or above) and ABAP Stack or Double Stack, execute the following additional steps:

Check if the SAP DBSL can load the newly installed instant client correctly. Change to the exe directory as user <sapsid>adm and run the ldd command on dboraslib.so:

OS> ldd dboraslib.so

If that succeeds, verify that the SAP system is able to connect to the database with

OS> R3trans -x

First of all, I don't have dboraslib.so; instead I have dboraslib.o, does anyone know why? Then, when i try "ldd dboraslib.o" I get the following:

dboraslib.o needs:

         /oracle/client/11x_64/instantclient/libclntsh.so

         /usr/lib/libc.a(shr_64.o)

         /usr/lib/libpthreads.a(shr_xpg5_64.o)

         /usr/lib/libdl.a(shr_64.o)

         /usr/lib/libperfstat.a(shr_64.o)

         /usr/lib/libodm.a(shr_64.o)

         /usr/lib/libc.a(aio_64.o)

         /unix

         /usr/lib/libcrypt.a(shr_64.o)

         /usr/lib/libcfg.a(shr_64.o)

         /usr/lib/liblvm.a(shr_64.o)

         /usr/lib/libcorcfg.a(shr_64.o)

         /usr/lib/libsrc.a(shr_64.o)

However, R3trans -x gives rc=000; I'm also able to start the SAP system, in dev_w0 I can see that apparently client 11g is being used:

Should I worry about not getting info from dd dboraslib.o?

System Info:

NW: 7.0 EHP1

OS: AIX 6.1

SAP kernel: 720 UC - 400

Thanks for your time,

Hi Jam,

dboraslib.so is for linux systems please carry on as you are running AIX UNIX you will be using dboraslib.o

dboraslib.so file is for Compaq Tru64, Linux, Reliant and Solaris Operating systems.

dboraslib.sl file is for HP_UX

dboraslib.o file is for AIX

dboraslib.dll file is for Windows platforms.

Hello Marius,

Thanks for the info.

Hello

On certain releases of Kernel there is dboraslib.so and on others there is dboraslib.o

Note 400818 - Information about the R/3 database library

Note 193616 - Docu: DBconnect R/3 Oracle with shared libraries

There is nothing to worry about as long as the kernel is using the one it needs.

Hi,

It seems to be a typing mistake.

Just was checking in one of my system, I could see that dboraslib.so only exists not the dboraslib.o.

Since everything is working fine.. I would suggest you to ignore and proceed.

Thanks and Regards,
