Requirements
Processor
A HP Alpha workstation running the required version of OpenVMS
Memory
26 MB of real memory is recommended to support the gateway
.
The
total real memory requirement for the concurrent use of the gateway
depends on the following factors:
■
The SQL statement issued by the user
■
The number of cursors currently opened against RDB
■
The number of columns in the table being accessed

Oracle Net
Requirements
Oracle Net on HP OpenVMS is developed and certified using
Hewlett-Packard
TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS (UCX)
.
If you wish
to use the TCP/IP protocol adapter for Oracle Net, you should have
version 5.1 ECO 4 or higher of TCP/IP Services for HP OpenVMS Alpha
installed
.
TCP/IP protocol stacks from other vendors may work with
Oracle, but customers use these products at their own risk
.
Any TCP/IP
problems that cannot be reproduced using TCP/IP Services for
HP OpenVMS Alpha will be referred to the TCP/IP vendor.
Vendor-provided protocol services are usually upward compatible, so
that existing applications will continue to work without modification
.
Thus, later releases of TCP/IP are upward compatible with Oracle Net,
provided that the vendor-specified Application Programming Interface
(API) does not change with new releases.
