PATH

• Set your PATH to include the location of your JAVA executable.

Examples

Oracle

export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin

CLASSPATH

• JAVA needs to know where to find relevant classes (e.g. the JDBC class).

• This can be set on the command line (using the -cp argument of java).

• Alternatively, and preferably, the CLASSPATH should be set in your environment.

Examples

Oracle 12.1

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/ojdbc6.jar:.:$APXDIR/apex/utilities

Oracle 11.2

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/ojdbc5.jar:.::$APXDIR/apex/utilities
