BR*Tools 7.x, Oracle 10.x, instant client 10.x and Kernel 6.4

[Former Member]

All,

Please keep in mind I am running Kernel 6.4

When upgrading a 9.2 database to 10.2, the documentation indicates you should upgrade BR*Tools to 7 and the instant client to 10.

Can I have the following configuration running and working:

Oracle 10.2.0.4

BR*Tools 7

InstantClient 10.2

Kernel 6.4

I ask - b/c I don't believe the 10.2 instant client supports the 6.40 Kernel - but I could be wrong (and I hope that I am).

Any help on this is appreciated.

Thanks,

Sean

Hello,

it's correct that you have to stay with Oracle client 9i.

However you may have to install a more recent client, 9.2.0.7 or better 9.2.0.8

Have a look at SAP notes 836517 and 952388.

Thanks for all of the replies.

I am on AIX 5.3.

I am going to do the upgrade tomorrow - so I will upgrade the Oracle client to the latest 9.2 version.

I will attempt to use the 10.2 client, but I do not believe that will work - I'll just do it to see what happens, and post my findings.

Hi Sean,

Please go through the following sap notes also:

948294 - AIX JFS2: mount options to use with Oracle 10g

830576 - Parameter recommendations for Oracle 10g

since we have upgraded from 9.2 to 10.2 and

we have tested successfully BRTOOLS 7.00 (39) on Dev server,

also BRTOOLS 6.40 (40) is successfully running on Production server server
