We have outsourced implementation and setup of a scaled down Oracle Applications 11i (rel 11.5.5) for Suse Linux... I have received a memo from the implementation team's application DBAs and they have informed me of a certain limitation for the specs of the client PC's. I was informed that the clients must either be Pentium 3s and below or all Pentium 4s. Mixed network of Pentium 3 and 4s will not work. I was told it was because of the JInitiator being invoked from the server.
to quote: "Let us further clarify that, through our proven installation/setup experience, the Shooman Application works on a network environment of "mixed" Pentium 3s and earlier computers. As of this writing, we have yet to prove that Shooman works properly in a network of Pentium 3 (or older) workstations mixed with Pentium 4s. However, we have proven that the application works if ALL workstations are Pentium 4s. It therefore follows that, should you purchase the latest Pentium 4 computers, you must issue ALL your Shooman users with this model in order for the system to work properly." (Shooman refers to the Oracle Application residing on a server named Shooman) I am completely ignorant of Oracle Applications as I have 0 experience in managing it. I'd really appreciate your opinion if we are being fooled or not. I am very concerned about this because as we all know PCs become obsolete in months... time will come we will have to change PCs...maybe move on to Pentium 5/6... This can pose a problem for us.
