AIX stand-alone: Install Oracle or Oracle RAC
We can use Oracle or Oracle RAC as the database software.
Install the Oracle client and any required fix packs.Install Oracle JDBC Type 4 drivers or Oracle JDBC OCI Type 2 drivers as appropriate.
To migrate from a previous version of IBM WebSphere Portal using JDBC Type 4 drivers, the target system must use JDBC Type 4 drivers. Once migration is complete, we can continue using JDBC Type 4 drivers or change the driver type to JDBC OCI Type 2 drivers as appropriate. Direct migration from a previous installation of WebSphere Portal using JDBC Type 4 drivers to an installation using JDBC OCI Type 2 drivers is not supported.
DBC OCI Type 2 drivers only: Set the environment variable on the portal server to point to the directory where you downloaded and extracted the compressed Oracle client files.
