Supported Platforms Summary
Operating System, Database, and Java Application Server Support
Oracle Utilities Network Management System supports the following platforms.
Operating Systems | Compiler Version | OS Server Architecture | Application Server | Database |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Oracle Solaris 11.4 | Oracle Developer Studio 12.6 (gcc 11.2) | SPARC 64-bit | WebLogic 12.2.1.4+ (SP4+) | Oracle 19.14+ |
Oracle Linux/ Red Hat Enterprise Linux Version 8.5+ | gcc 8.5.0 20210514 | x86 64-bit | WebLogic 12.2.1.4+ (SP4+) | Oracle 19.14+ |
Notes:
• Oracle Solaris is supported for current implementations only, no new implementations.
• Version Numbers
• Version numbers marked with a “+” are the minimum version supported. That version and all future 4th digit (2nd digit for releases beyond 12.x) updates will be supported.
Example: Oracle WebLogic 12.2.1.4+ means that 12.2.1.4 and any higher 12.2.1.x versions (for example, 12.2.1.4, 12.2.1.5, and so on) of Oracle WebLogic are supported.
• To use Oracle Utilities Network Management System with Oracle Utilities Analytics, both must be on the same version of the Oracle RDBMS.
• The Oracle WebLogic Server used by Oracle Utilities Network Management System does not need to be co-located with the Unix services and can run on any of the platforms that are supported by Oracle for that WebLogic Server version.
• The Oracle RDBMS used by Oracle Utilities Network Management System does not need to be co-located with the Unix Services and can run on any of the platforms supported by Oracle for that RDBMS version.
• Oracle Utilities Network Management System is tested and supported on the versions of Oracle Linux specified. Because Oracle Linux is 100% userspace-compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Network Management System is also supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux for this release.
