RE: How to Install Oracle 12 Client in Existing Oracle Home

It’s a purchased package and they are still developing in COBOL. It does live.

I just have to ask, sorry - COBOL? Is there much COBOL there or this is just one of the remaining remnant applications? And is new COBOL development ongoing? And the developers, what age range?

I do a lot of contract work in banks and although I’ve heard rumours there is COBOL in the wild, I have never met one of these developers. Especially Pro*COBOL.

Decades back I used to develop in Cics and RM/COBOL. As I write, that was decades back. I have not seen COBOL on the (UK) contract job boards for years either.

In looking at the inventory on the special Oracle Home that I built in 2016 that includes the client, the comps.xml file is different in that it includes the client install in addition to the base install.

The problem is that I can’t just take a chance that it will work.

Perhaps I am mistaken, but isn’t the client already a part of the database software?

We have an application that needs to have the Oracle client installed in the same Oracle Home as the database software. Somehow, I managed to do it with Oracle 12.1.0.2, but the client installer for Oracle 12.2.0.1 won’t let me. It says there’s already Oracle software in that home and won’t let me move on.

How do I do this?

This is Oracle 12.2.0.1 on Red Hat 7 Linux.
