Ron,

I wasn't confusing the server and client information - it was just that there web page is out of date regarding supported servers.

Kevin pointed me in the correct direction - Oracle running on an NT server is supported.

This is indicated in the readme file you get when you download the trial.

Regards,
Bruce

I think you are confusing the Server and the Client information. The client that runs the Spotlite has to be Windows 95/98/2000/NT.  I have "Spotlite" monitoring a Novell server. I worked with the spotlite development team for release 2.c that limited the trace file naming convention to 8 char. It works great.

Nick,

Does spotlight support an Oracle server running on NT?

The requirements page says:

"Server
Oracle versions from 7.3.3 and above
Solaris (2.5, 2.6, 2.7)
HP-UX (10.20, 11.00/32 bit, 11.00/64 bit) AIX (4.2, 4.3)
Digital (v4.0d, v4.0f) "

which seems to me to say the Oracle server must be running on Unix and not NT.

but then the PDF data sheet says

"
Spotlight requires Windows 95/98/2000/NT and a SQL*Net connection to any Oracle server (7.3.3 or greater)
"

Which is correct?

Thanks,
Bruce Reardon

you can download a free fully functional trial version of Spotlight on Oracle from the Quest Website at http://www.quest.com/spotlight_oracle/ there is a link to 'download trial' on the left hand side. You can click on the screenshot to get a full size image... but it will tell you everything you need to know about your instance... and what init.ora parameters you can change to improve it.
