Disclaimer

Before installing third-party software on the same server with Oracle products, for example, DSR, PCRF, UDR, PIC, EAGLE, and so on, you must be aware of the following information:
  • Oracle is not responsible for installation, operation, maintenance, and so on, of any non-Oracle distributed software with Oracle products, for example, DSR, PCRF, UDR, PIC, EAGLE, and so on.
  • Additional due diligence, including testing, is recommended to be performed in the lab before deploying non-Oracle software on production sites to avoid potential issues.
  • Oracle is not responsible for validating or integrating non-Oracle software with Oracle products, for example, DSR, PCRF, UDR, PIC, EAGLE, and so on. Additionally, the persistence of the non-Oracle software over the upgrade of any Oracle product may or may not occur, and Oracle does not guarantee that the non-Oracle software will persist.
  • Oracle Support may require that the customer uninstall the non-Oracle software and reinstall Oracle products, for example, DSR, PCRF, UDR, PIC, EAGLE, and so on, to recover the system to address any field issue.
