Is it possible to use other versions of Oracle than those specified in the TIBCO iProcess Engine Installation Guide?
Issue/Introduction
Is it possible to use other versions of Oracle than those specified in the TIBCO iProcess Engine Installation Guide?
Environment
o All supported versions of Oracle.
o All supported versions of TIBCO iProcess Engine (Oracle) prior to 11.5.0.
Resolution
The TIBCO iProcess Engine (Oracle) software is statically linked against specific versions of Oracle libraries. Therefore, the appropriate TIBCO iProcess Engine Installation Guide will specify the Oracle Client that must be used. This is a requirement from Oracle due to the way the libraries are linked. However, it is possible to use other versions of Oracle Server in conjunction with the Oracle Client installed for the TIBCO iProcess Engine.
Oracle publishes a "Client / Server / Interoperability Support Between Different Oracle Versions" document on their metalink site. This details a matrix of the currently supported Client / Server combinations.
In general, TIBCO will support combinations of Oracle Client and Oracle Server that Oracle supports. However, TIBCO may not have validated every combination.
