I have a need to support addl. platforms for our aging TT installation, and I'm having trouble finding the appropriate software.
We're currently on 7.0.6.12.0 (yes, I know -- an upgrade is on the roadmap, and has been for a while), running on Linux x86_64. So far, so good.
Recently we started a new initiative, and for that I'm going to need to support access via client/server to both Windows and Mac clients for development and testing. I didn't have the foresight to grab all the platforms back in the day, and I can't find them on the web site.
I've opened an SR, where the reply was simply to go to "patch and update at oracle MOS". I figured out what that meant (I think), and I see some of the packages from that release, but no Mac client. I'm pretty sure there was one at the time, but perhaps I'm mistaken.
So, my questions are:
- Was there a Mac client for 7.0.6.12.0? If so, how can I get it?
- I downloaded the Mac client for the latest version (11.2.2.8.0), and it appears to connect OK to a my version 7 datastore. Did I just get lucky, or is that by design?
- What about Windows client/server? Do I need an older version, or will the most recent drivers work with my version 7 datastore.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
