Leng,

I have installed Oracle 7.0.16 on OVMS VAX 6.1 with SQL*NET 2. I have UCX or DEC TCP/IP ver 3.0 running on my machine.

During the ORACLE installation , selecting the NETCONFIG product you can reconfigure for DEC TCP/IP. For me the option presented was as follows.

>>>Version 2 TCP/IP driver (Win TCP, MULTINET, DEC TCP/IP) W/M/D/N ? <<<<

Wherein I selected 'D', which is for DEC TCP/IP.

Everything went well, except that my listener process starts and stops within seconds !!!.

Just in case it helps , I am enclosing my LISTENER.ora and extract of README.

Regards
Ravi


The LISTENER.ORA file generated by the Config Tool on the VMS platform needs to be modified as follows after configuring the listener using the Edit Listeners screen:

On VMS, the server process is not specified by just a location, but by a specific program using the PROGRAM keyword, usually a .COM file defined during installation. This is the program that the listener runs when passing control to a server process. Additionally a location for output can be specified using the OUT parameter.

When editing LISTENER.ORA, be careful that the parentheses match up. Too many open or closed parentheses will cause the listener to fail. Many editors can count them for you.

Restriction: When entering the network name for the node, the Config Tool with SQL*Net 2.0.13.0 will not be able to generate any files with the network name format "xx.xxx" ie "good.com".
