1-16 Oracle9i Installation Guide Release 2 (9.2.0.2) for HP Alpha OpenVMS
Copying Oracle Executables
Moving executables from one OpenVMS machine to another is not recommended
due to the usage of shared libraries and to the difficulty of ensuring valid
referencing
. Oracle Corporation therefore recommends that you relink executables.
Oracle Net Linking Options
Keep the following guidelines in mind when linking Oracle Net:
■
The Net Mailbox Adapter (IPC) is always installed . It provides inter-process
communications through OpenVMS Mailboxes . The Mailbox Adapter can be
used to connect an Oracle tool and the Oracle server, but only if the tool and the
server are on the same OpenVMS system.
■
Oracle Net TCP/IP configurations are available for both OpenVMS clients and
servers.
The following table shows the range of use for Oracle Net drivers in client/server
and distributed database configurations
. The data in this table is provided with the
assumption that clients in a client/server configuration run the Oracle tool and that
servers run the Oracle database
. For distributed database examples, the clients and
servers each run both an Oracle tool and the Oracle database.
Limited *: Limited only for communication between products on the same
ORACLE_HOME.

meaning that it takes place without using the Java GUI (Graphical User Interface).
OUI gets its information from a text file that is specified on the command line by
