Re: [urgent] OAS on Solaris

We have been using OAS 4.0.7 on Solaris 2.6 for about 6 months. We have experienced only one problem that denied access to the database. I do not think it was caused by OAS though. It must of happened overnight, we could not connect to the database first thing in the morning. I had to bounce the instance and OAS to get things going again.

We originally had the OAS software on one Sun E250 and the database on another. We also had a test and development instance on the database server. There was little to no overhead associated with OAS, so we moved OAS to the production server and put the test and development instances on the other server. Their was no degradation in service because of this. We have hundreds (> 800) of users from 6 states who use the application. Things have been really stable.
