Re: Stanby under Windows - how to manage archive log files?

Konstantin,

Please read doc 148054.1 - Product Obsolescence Desupport Notice

End of error correction support is 31-DEC-2003 for Oracle Server 8.1.7 - all releases.
If you desire to purchase extended maintenance support, I believe that the fee is 30% of the oracle server license, check with your oracle salesperson for details.
Assuming 2 CPUs on 2 boxes licensed as per CPU, that would be 0.3 * 15K * 4, or
18,000 USD. That is not the kind of chunk of change that you want to have as a surprise for your higher-ups.

If you do not believe me, please check with Oracle Support. This de-support date was already pushed back from 30-June-2002. I don't believe that it will slide again.

Upgrade to Oracle 9.2 prior to 01-Jan-2004, if at all possible.

Paul
