Connection manager

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to set a test envirinment to learn Oracle Connection Manager. I've read appropriate chapters in Net documentation and a forum thread:
Re: Configuration of Connection Manager
But there are still things that I can't work on.
I have two machines, database on one of them and client on the other. It's database 10g, client on WinXP, database on Linux.
Where should I install connection manager? on Linux or Windows, maybe any?
If it was a production environment, what would be the best solution?
Thanks in advance,
Aliq

Answer 1

Hello again,
thank you both for help. Unfortunately it still doesn't work :/
Since I couldn't get the install files for Windows (I didn't have cman installed there) I decided to change:
database on WinXP, so listener there too (listening on 1521, database is called "test" and it's open). Hostname = hostB
client and cman on Linux. Hostname = hostA
My cman.ora looks like this:
cman_ora(
configuration=
(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=hostA)(port=1610))
(rule_list=(src=*)(DST=hostB)(srv=*)(act=accept))
(rule_list=(src=*)(DST=hostA)(srv=*)(act=accept))
(PARAMETER_LIST=
(LOG_DIRECTORY=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/admin/log)
(LOG_LEVEL=ADMIN)
cman.ora:
testcman=
(description=
(SOURCE_ROUTE=YES)
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=hostA)(port=1610))
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=hostB)(port=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER=DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME=test)
Then I do (on Linux -> client/cman)
$cmctl
cmctl> administer
Current instance CMAN_ora is not yet started
Connections refer to
(description=
(SOURCE_ROUTE=YES)
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=hostA)(port=1610))
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=hostB)(port=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER=DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME=test)
The command completed successfully.
cmctl:CMAN_ora>startup
TNS-04012: Unable to start Oracle Connection Manager instance
