(installed with Oracle assistants, such as Oracle Database Configuration Assistant and Net8 Assistant) |
8.1.6 |
A collection of automatically installed files required by Oracle assistants. These files include: |
Not applicable |
|
Java Runtime Environment (Oracle's version) |
1.1.7.24 |
Required for running Java applications, such as Oracle Universal Installer. |
Not applicable |
|
LSM Administrator GUI |
8.1.6 |
A client tool for administering the Legato Storage Manager server from a separate Windows NT computer. |
|
|
Legato Storage Manager (LSM) |
8.1.6 |
If you are using Recovery Manager (RMAN) for Oracle database backups, a media management component such as LSM is required for backing up and restoring from tape storage. You can choose to install a media management component such as LSM or use a third-party media management component that also complies with Oracle's Backup Solutions Program. LSM also includes a scaled-down version of Legato NetWorker. For more information on this component, call toll free (1) 888-8-LEGATO in the United States of America. |
|
|
Logical Unit Type 6.2 (LU6.2) protocol support |
8.1.6 |
The adapter is part of the IBM Advanced Program-to-Program Communication (APPC) architecture. APPC is the IBM peer-to-peer (program-to-program) protocol for a Systems Network Architecture (SNA) network. SNA is an IBM reference model similar to the Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) model of the International Standards Organization (ISO). APPC architecture lets the client and host communicate over an SNA network without forcing the client to emulate a terminal (as in terminal-to-host protocols). APPC architecture allows peer-to-peer communication; the client can initiate communication with the server. An SNA network with the LU6.2 and Physical Unit Type 2.1 (PU2.1) protocols provides APPC. The LU6.2 protocol defines a session between two application programs; LU6.2 is a component-independent LU-type. LU6.2 protocol support enables an Oracle application on a personal computer to communicate with an Oracle database. This communication occurs over an SNA network with the Oracle database on a host system that supports APPC. |
|
|
|
8.1.6 |
A protocol that enables client/server conversation over a network using Named Pipes and Net8. This combination of Oracle components enables an Oracle application on a client to communicate with remote Oracle databases through Named Pipes (if the Oracle database is running on a host system that supports network communication using Named Pipes). |
|
|
(installed with Net8 Client) |
8.1.6 |
A tool that combines configuration abilities with component control to provide an integrated environment for configuring and managing Net8. It can be used on either the client or server. You can use Net8 Assistant to configure the following network components:
If an Oracle Names server is configured, you start, stop, tune, or gather statistics for it with Net8 Assistant. |
|
|
Net8 Client |
8.1.6 |
A component that provides features that enable client connections to databases across a network. A client-side application sends a request to Net8 to be transported across the network to the server. Net8 Client (and not Oracle Universal Installer) installs TCP/IP and Named Pipes, and auto-detects SPX. SPX is only installed in the installation packages if the appropriate software is detected on your computer. If you explicitly select this component through the Custom installation type, it will be installed even if you do not have the appropriate software on your computer. |
|
|
(installed with Net8 Client) |
8.1.6 |
A tool that enables you to configure basic network components. Net8 Configuration Assistant runs automatically after software installation, as described in this guide. It can be used on either the client or server. It may be also be run in standalone mode to configure naming methods usage, the listener, net service names in the TNSNAMES.ORA file, and directory server access. |
|
|
Object Type Translator (OTT) |
8.1.6 |
OTT is used to create C-struct representations of Abstract Data Types that have been created and stored in an Oracle database. To take advantage of objects, run OTT against the database, and a header file is generated that includes the C-structs. |
|
|
Oracle Advanced Security |
8.1.6 |
Oracle Advanced Security provides security services for Oracle8i. Oracle Advanced Security secures connections over all protocols into Oracle8i and integrates a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Oracle Advanced Security provides data encryption and integrity; integrates with third-party authentication, authorization, and single sign-on solutions; delivers public-key solutions including Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and X.509 certificates; and utilizes Oracle Internet Directory for storing database authorizations. Oracle Advanced Security also enables enterprise user management and access to multiple accounts and applications with a single password. This multicomponent product requires a separate license. |
