Requirements

Operating System

HP OpenVMS version 7.3

Oracle Net Requirements

Oracle Net on HP OpenVMS is developed and certified using

Hewlett-Packard

TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS (UCX)

.

If

you wish to use the TCP/IP protocol adapter for Oracle Net,
then you should have Version 5.1 ECO 4 or higher of TCP/IP
Services for HP OpenVMS Alpha installed

.

TCP/IP protocol

stacks from other vendors may work with Oracle, but
customers use these products at their own risk

.

Any TCP/IP

problems that cannot be reproduced using TCP/IP Services for
HP OpenVMS Alpha will simply be referred to the TCP/IP
vendor.

Vendor-provided protocol services are usually upward
compatible, so that existing applications will continue to work
without modification

.

Thus, later releases of TCP/IP are

upward compatible with Oracle Net, provided that the
vendor-specified Application Programming Interface (API)
does not change with new releases.

Window Manager

X-Windows must be installed on the system from which the

Oracle Universal Installer

is run

.

Use any

Hewlett-Packard

-supported X-Windows server (for example,

Excursion, dtwm

,

twm

,

mwm

) that supports Motif.
