Hi there!

I am installing OAS 4.0.7 on an NT SP4 machine. Here is the problem:

OAS refuses to start due to service pack incompatibility

Here the solution:

till SP3, OAS start normally. With SP4, MS changes all the IP stacks

structure meaning that OAS can't start anymore. I know it exists a patch (~150 Ko .dll file). So my question is:

Does anyone know about this patch, where to download, etc...

Thanks for your help,

Don't do it!

At one time, Oracle said you shouldn't but it would probably work. Now, the story has changed: there are several nasty issues (including memory corruption) that you'll meet under SP4.

The patch just makes it run enough to make it look like it's OK. Apparently,

it's not.

You have three choices:

Stay with 4.0.7 + patch and SP3. Works, supported, not Y2K complient.
Move to SP5, keep 4.0.7 + patch. Probably works, not supported.
Move to 4.0.8 and SP5.

If you stay with 4.0.7 you'll want the 4.0.7.1 patch, from ftp://oracle-ftp.oracle.com/server/patchsets/internet/NT/oas40710/export/OAS_40710_Patch_40bit.zip

P.S. My system works fine, with one exeption, I can only see and use the samples when I connect to the admin-port(admin-listener), if I use the www-listener, I can't use the samples or applications... I am new to OAS to and so I don't know how to manage this problem. Received on Wed Oct 06 1999 - 01:57:19 CDT
