There are two errors: The first is ORA 6107 -- I don't know what it is. My guess will be that sql*net is not configured correctly on the 2.4 machine. Check the /etc/services file, orasrv must be running, two_task variable, your host must have sql*net running etc.

The second (Cnct err, cant' get err txt...) means the flat files Oracle uses for error messages are not installed correctly. Check that the $ORACLE_HOME variable is correct or try NFS mounting the error files (NOT the database).

Personally I would test the above setup but *not* go into production with it. I would not even use it for developement -- but have fun playing around! Sql*net and Sqlplus should work. Received on Thu Feb 23 1995 - 05:35:43 CET
