Hello Folks,
It might be a surprise to you all :-), but I'm a bit frustrated about Oracle
Support. I had/have 5 simple / stupid (?) questions regarding OAS (4.0.8.1).
All the answers I got, where unsatisfactory. So I 've put hem in the waste
basket.
Questions:
- OAS 4.0.8.1 and Oracle 8i
The OAS 4081 release notes state: "Note that 7.3.4 and 8.1.5 are certified
for use with OAS 4.0.8.1, but they must not be installed on the same NT
machine as OAS."
Is this true or not ?
If so, why can this combination not run on one machine ?
Does anyone has other experiences with it ?
- OAS 4.0.8.1 makes use of an Oracle Installer.
Is it a Y2K compliant one or not.?
If it isn't, can somebody give me an idea how to use the Y2K compliant
installer in combination with the setup / installation procedure.
- Is OAS 4.0.8.1 a new release which can be run indepedently from OAS 4.0.7
?
(OAS 408 is half the size in MB of OAS 407). I assume so, but the
installation manual (pdf) suggests otherwise.
- Can somebody describe, in plain (non technical) English, what OAS
(4.0.8.1) is actually doing ?. (I could install OAS 407/Oracle 805 and it
worked.) But if people asked me what it was actually doing, I could not give
an adequate answer like with eg Forms: "It's a tool by which you can
retrieve data from a database and insert new data into a database by means
of user friendly interface."
- What is the difference in functionality with respect to Web applications
between WebDB and OAS ?
Thanks in advance
Martin
