So BusinessObjects 3.1 SP2 Edge CMS would not start after an Oracle database driver upgrade to solve an LDAP imcompatibility on a Red hat installation
1) checked the tnsnames.ora
Status: OK
2) Checked my Connectivity through sqlplus
Status: OK
3) Checked the CMS Setup
[bobj@server bobje]$ ./cmsdbsetup.sh
err: ERROR Failed to get cluster name. (STU00165)
err: Error description: Database access error. Reason Loading shared object failed. First tried to load library clntsh and failed because of error: [clntsh: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]. Second tried to load library libclntsh.so and failed because of error: [libclntsh.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64].
4) Checked the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the profile of the bobj account
drwxr-x— 58 oracle oinstall 4096 Aug 27 13:51 OraHome10gr2_32bit
$ cd
$ vi .bash_profile
Status: OK
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/lib:
5) Tried changing to 32 bit libary path
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/lib32:
Status: libclntsh.so file was not there
6) Reset the rights for Read and Execute
chmod -R 755 lib32
Status: OK
7) Checked the file that BOE is looking for and it shows as a 64 bit file
libclntsh.so.10.1: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
This should be showing as the following as BOE requires 32 bit database drivers
libclntsh.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
Status: Issue
8) The current issue prohibits the BusinessObjects system from running on the server. Database driver to be setup correctly
