CONNX Requires the Oracle Client Interface Software (OCI) to be installed.  This can be the standard Oracle Client, or the Oracle Instant Client.  OCI supports Bulk operations only when the version of the Oracle Client matches the version of the Oracle database.  This is an important performance consideration with DataSync and Event Replication.  For best performance, ensure that the version of the Oracle client is the same as the Oracle database being accessed.  On Linux/Unix, CONNX contains an embedded OCI, and no additional software is required.

CONNX has been tested or certified with the following TCP/IP software products on OpenVMS: UCX 3.0 and above, Multinet and TCPware.

 

OLE DB/ODBC providers use third-party data providers which have their own hardware and network requirements and are installed on the client machine.

 

The server requirements are dictated by the third-party driver selected for operation.
