I had mentioned the licensing. But, it is a separate topic. They wanted to know from a technical perspective could it be done.
I agree that one should stick with vendor certified systems. I support PeopleSoft on Oracle so I am very fussy about what versions we are on.
As for this application I don't know what their intentions are. I have been involved with them for only a couple of hours when this came up.
I certainly find it disturbing if the vendor has not yet certified 8i, when 9iR2 is shipping. I also intend to track that one down.
I just found out that the entire issue is being grouped into a project passed to IBM so they have to worry about it. (We outsourced our Infrastructure to IBM). Though enquiring minds want to know.
Thx.

Technically it shouldn't be a problem. You'll use different ORACLE_HOMEs
of course. Have you considered the licensing issues? I agree with Stephen
that you should stick to the vendor's recommendation, but press them to move
their certification forward, for Pete's sake! Are they going to certify
8.1.7 before Oracle drops it?

Enterprise 8.1.7 on AIX
There is a desire to consolidate some Unix servers. A couple of the servers
are using Oracle 8.0.6 Standard (formerly Workgroup server) and the intended
target servers already have 8.1.7 Enterprise. The source/target servers are
using AIX 4.3. My understanding is that the application on 8.0.6 is not
certified/supported on 8.1.7 by its vendor, yet.
Does anyone know if there are any problems/issues with doing this?
Any advice on the procedures would be appreciated (in a non-monetary way -
just like most corporate rewards programs).
Thanks,
David
