Installing ODP.NET
Use these instructions to install ODP.NET as part of the Oracle XCopy version of Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) 19c releases. This is the recommended way to install ODP.NET for use with TimesTen.
Note:
If you have an Oracle Database installation, ODP.NET is already provided with that.
XCopy provides system administrators with an ODP.NET client that is smaller than the standard ODP.NET client and can be configured more easily, with finer-grained control than OUI offers. This makes it more convenient for production deployments to large numbers of computers, and simplifies the embedding of ODP.NET in customized deployment packages.
This installation does not use the Oracle Universal Installer. Instead, run the installation by executing the install.bat batch file, which you can access in the installation directory into which you unzip the ODAC ZIP file for XCopy installation.
This is a summary of the installation instructions. For further details, refer to readme.htm, which is also located in the installation directory.
Tip:
The readme.htm file emphasizes the following points.
-
Do not install XCopy over an existing OUI-based Oracle home installation.
-
If you do multiple ODAC product installations to the same directory, specify the same Oracle home name each time.
-
By default, ODAC products and dependencies are installed without a check to see if there are newer product versions already installed.
Execute install.bat to specify the desired ODAC products to install. For example, assuming C:\oracle\odac is your installation directory and odachome is your Oracle home name for ODAC, use this command to install the client with ODP.NET for .NET 4 libraries:
install.bat odp.net4 C:\oracle\odac odachomeAlternatively, use the following command to install the client with all ODAC products:
install.bat all C:\oracle\odac odachome
