And

Version 11.2.0.3.0 - Instant Client Package Basic (For ODI 11.1.1.7)

instantclient-basic-windows.x64-11.2.0.3.0.zip

2. Unzip the 2 archives in 2 folders, using the oracle user:

You will get 2 folders, named for example:

instantclient-basic-linux.x64-11.2.0.3.0

instantclient-basic-linux.x64-12.1.0.2.0

3. In each folder create a file named tnsnames.ora with this content:

SIT_OCI=

(DESCRIPTION=
1
 (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=perpdbs001.hkex)(PORT=1526))

(CONNECT_DATA=

(SERVICE_NAME=SIT)

(INSTANCE_NAME=SIT1)

4. Modify <ODI_HOME>\oracledi\client\odi\bin\odi.conf

Add

AddVMOption -Djava.library.path=/instantclient-basic-linux.x64-11.2.0.3.0/instantclient_11_2

AddVMOption -D64

Put the full location of Version 11.2.0.3.0 - Instant Client Package, depending where you unzip it.

5. For the ODI Standalone agent:

So your parameter could be:

ODI_ADDITIONAL_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djava.library.path=/instantclient-basic-linux.x64-
11.2.0.3.0/instantclient_11_2" "-D64"

Also ODI_ADDITIONAL_JAVA_OPTIONS may include other parameters also.

Restart the Standalone Agent.
