There are two possible solutions for Easysoft servers (OOB Server, JOB Server, Easysoft XML-ODBC Server) running on Unix:

• Set and export ORACLE_HOME before starting the Easysoft ODBC Server in standalone mode. The server can be found in /usr/local/easysoft/server_product/server

     ORACLE_HOME=/path/to/oracle_libraries
     export ORACLE_HOME
        

• Set and export ORACLE_HOME in the server script in /usr/local/easysoft/server_product/server if running the server under {x}inetd.

Here is an additional solution if you are using the Easysoft XML-ODBC Server:

• Add an Environment element to the request sent from your client to the server. The Environment element data should be ORACLE_HOME=/path/to/oracle_libraries

   
     <Request>
       <Environment>
           ORACLE_HOME=/path/to/oracle_libraries
       </Environment>
         .
         .
     </Request>
     

It is also possible to set environment variables such as ORACLE_HOME in the unixODBC odbc.ini file by using the DMEnvAttr attribute.

It would be unlikely for this issue to happen on a Microsoft Windows platform as the ORACLE_HOME environment is set as a system environment when installing the Oracle server software.

Note If you are using the Instant Client, you will need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH instead of ORACLE_HOME. Use the appropriate method to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to specify the location where the Instant Client is installed. For example:

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/instant_client
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
