AW: Net 8 installation on a server rather than client question

[v . schoen]

Title: Nachricht

Hi Ron,

 

to use Oracle Clients from network share, copy an existing oracle client to a network share. Then edit the registry and set all parameters in HKLM/Software/Oracle to this network share. Export these settings and copy it to all your Clients which should use this oracle client. Then you have to set the path variable to oracle\bin of your network share. Also take a look at ODBC settings in the registry HKLM/Software/ODBC, there could be some links to oracle DLL's. Change the path to this DLL's to your network share.

 

This procedure works for me with 50 Clients since 3 years.

Betreff: Net 8 installation on a server rather than client question

Question to the list.   Is there was way to install Net 8 on a nt server and have client pc's execute the Net 8 from
the server instead of loading Net 8 on the client's pc.  To avoid installation of Net 8 on the clients.  I already have
the tnsnames.ora file on the server and with a bat file that updates the registry on the client to point to the server
to get the tnsnames file. 

Currently using Net 8 ver 8.1.6

Thanks

Ron
