Mark, Thanks for the info. I got past the hurdle by installing the full 11g client. But I'm still curiuous about the instant client.
I don't want to have to do anything with Oracle 10g. I have a 11g server. Are you saying that with ARS 7.6.03, even if oracle SERVER is 11g, the client still needs to be 10g (as was the case with 7.5)...and that with 11g full client, it works only because it transparently links to 10g libraries, but the 11g instant client doesn't? The docs need to be updated to help folks. 7.6.03 compatibility matrix says 11g server and 11g client (64bit)are fine. It's not clear if this is true for full client only or covers instant client as well. For ARS 7.5, there was (is) a KB saying that instant client (must be 10g, which is also true for full client) will work, only if its 32-bit. And there are extra steps. No such KB for ARs 7.6.03 regarding instant client. with 7.6.0.3, if Oracle server is 11g, what's the deal with instant client? Which version, how many bits? I opened a ticket with support, but didn't get useful info. They seem to read the KB and say follow the steps for old KB, for ARS 7.5. When asked, if 11G instant client/64 bit is ok with ARS 7.6.03, they quoted the the 7.6.03 compatibility matrix, and said yes. They are mixing things up. The 7.6.03 matrix doesn't make it clear that the info applies to instant client. My experience makes me think not. My best bet is that, if you're going to use instant client with 7.6.03, it needs to be 10g instant client (server can be 11g). Not sure 32 or 64 bit version of the instant client. I am done experimenting, going with the full client. --- On Fri, 10/15/10, Walters, Mark <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Walters, Mark <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Oracle 11g Instant Client...anybody got it to work? > To: [email protected] > Date: Friday, October 15, 2010, 10:46 AM > The Oracle 11g client is compatible > with 10g and the full version of the client ships with soft > links for the libclntsh.so.10.1 file pointing to > libclntsh.so.11.1 which allows the server to run.
