Known Restrictions, Problems, and Workarounds
Release Notes 1-5
■ If you use the SQL*Plus -s option, then it must be the first option entered at the
prompt.
■ The internal message buffer is limited to 76 characters, therefore, certain messages
are truncated. This typically occurs if a message includes a second message. In
such cases, you usually refer to the message number part of the second message.
For further information, refer to the manual relevant to the particular message,
either Oracle Database Error Messages, or
Appendix A, "Oracle Error Messages for
BS2000/OSD" of this guide.
■ If ECHO is set to ON , TAB is set to ON, and you specify a spool file, then the listing of
commands may be misaligned.
■ To define the POSIX editor edtu as your preferred text editor with SQL*Plus in the
POSIX environment, the POSIX correction level A43 or higher is required.
1.4.15 ADRCI
If your preferred POSIX text editor is edtu , then the POSIX correction level A43 or
higher is required.
1.4.16 Connecting from Oracle Database 10g clients
Oracle Database 10g clients can connect to Oracle Database 11g Release 2 instances on
Fujitsu BS2000/OSD, if the initialization parameter
SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON is set
to
FALSE . Otherwise, the connection fails with the following message:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
1.4.17 Utilities in the POSIX environment
For utilities in the POSIX shell, such as SQL*Plus, Import or Export, the maximum
length of path names is 54 byte.This restriction applies to the names of SQL scripts or
spool files.
1.4.18 Oracle Net Services
The following remarks relate to Oracle Net Services:
■ When you specify a name for the listener in the LISTENER.ORA file, Oracle
recommends that the name is less than 20 characters long. If you use a listener
name with more than 20 characters, then you must specify a log directory (trace
directory) and log file (trace file).
■ The listener can be started only if the POSIX subsystem is running.
1.4.19 Oracle Net BEQ Protocol
The support of the handoff/direct handoff technique makes the BEQ protocol
incompatible to the BEQ protocol of releases prior to Oracle Database 10g Release 2.
For example, an 11.2 listener cannot start a server of an Oracle9i instance.
1.4.20 Oracle Protocol Support for TCP/IP
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) divided port numbers into three
ranges:
■ Well Known Ports from 0 through 1023
■ Registered Ports from 1024 through 49151
