All required network software that is supplied by your database system vendors must be 64-bit compliant.
For the Salesforce driver: A 64-bit Java Virtual Machine (JVM), J2SE 5 or higher, is required. Also, you must set the library path environment variable of your operating system to the directory containing your JVM’s libjvm.so [sl | a] file and that directory’s parent directory.
The library path environment variable is:
◦ LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux, HP-UX Itanium, and Oracle Solaris
◦ LIBPATH on AIX
AIX
IBM POWER Processor
AIX 5L operating system, version version 5.3 fixpack 5 and higher,6.1, and 7.1
An application compatible with components that were built using Visual Age C++ version 6.0.0.0 and the AIX native threading model
Note: SALESFORCE USERS: When compiling an application on AIX for use with the driver for Salesforce, you must not use the -brtl option.
HP-UX
Intel Itanium II (IPF) processor
HP-UX IPF 11i operating system, Versions 2 and 3 (B.11.23 and B.11.31)
HP aC++ v. 5.36 and the HP-UX 11 native (kernel) threading model (posix draft 10 threads)
The following drivers are supported on IPF:
DataDirect Connect64 forODBC drivers
DB2 Wire Protocol
Informix Wire Protocol
MySQL Wire Protocol
Oracle Wire Protocol
PostgreSQL Wire Protocol
Progress OpenEdge Wire Protocol
SQL Server Wire Protocol
Sybase Wire Protocol
Oracle
SQL Server Legacy Wire Protocol
DataDirect Connect64 XE forODBC drivers
Driver for Apache Hive
Greenplum Wire Protocol
Impala Wire Protocol
Salesforce
Sybase IQ Wire Protocol
Teradata
NOTES FOR SALESFORCE:
Do not link with the –lc linker option.
Set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to the libjvm.so of your JVM installation.
