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, 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 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.
