Hi. We are configuring MQ to work with XA, under Unix and using Oracle.
First idea is to access a remote Oracle.

But I am running "make oracle" command to create "jdbcora" and get an error, and here

>>> http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0601_ritchie/0601_ritchie.html

it says "ORACLE_HOME to define where the database has been installed"

... so maybe Oracle has to be LOCAL to participate in XA ...

I am reading this "Oracle configuration" under "Transactional support" :

>>> http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv6/v6r0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.mq.amqzag.doc%2Ffa13920_.htm

and it indicates to set

export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/8.1.6

also indicating Oracle is local ..

but ... MUST IT BE LOCAL ? or ... CAN IT BE REMOTE ?

Under "Restrictions" I find ...

The database server can reside on a different machine from the queue manager server, as long as the database client is installed on the same machine as the queue manager, and it supports this function. Consult the database product's documentation to determine whether their client software can be used for two-phase commit systems.

But, if that is the case (we can use a remote Oracle), how do we set ORACLE_HOME ???

Thanks for your comments, coleagues. Sebastian.

It means EITHER an Oracle SERVER install OR an Oracle CLIENT install.

Oracle is sure REMOTE
We have Oracle client installed, I would say ...
We get this error :
===
(AIXHOST):[root] /usr/mqm/java/lib64/jdbc-> make oracle
xlc -q64 -qmkshrobj -e MQStart -L/usr/mqm/lib64 -lmqmcs_r -L/lib -lclntsh -o /var/mqm/exits64/jdbcora jdbcora.o
ld: 0706-006 Cannot find or open library file: -l clntsh
===

I suspect ...

a) Oracle client is not well installed
b) cant work with remote Oracle

A related question :
the file we are missing should be named "libclntsh.so", am I right ?

Thanks.
