Oracle 8i for AIX

I have the database files for the above. These are not backup files, but the files from a storage device that was connected to a server running AIX. The server crashed completely and no recent backups are available.
Can i read the database files if i connect the storage device to a Windows server running Oracle 10?
If not, what is the best and quickest way to access the data on the storage device?

I would just add, if it can help, that you do require neither the same version nor the same bitmode of the OS to recover your datafiles. That is, if you crashed your 8i aix4 64bit server, you can restore it on aix 5L in 32bit mode without problem. But you need to install the Oracle binaries on your aix server, ex. 8.1.7.4.
As Neil said, there is no way to restore data on your windows box.

Please make Oracle 8i for AIX available for download

We need Oracle 8i for AIX...specifically Oracle 8.1.7.2.0 for AIX 4.3.3.
We were pointed to technet.oracle.com by our Oracle representative. We found the following available:
     Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 3 (8.1.7.0.1) for Linux (Intel), with OPS
     Oracle8i Enterprise/Standard Edition Release 3 (8.1.7) for Windows 2000/NT
     Oracle8i Enterprise Edition (64-bit) Release 3 (8.1.7) for Sun SPARC Solaris
     Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 3 (8.1.7) for Sun SPARC Solaris
     Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 3 (8.1.7) for Compaq Tru64 UNIX
     Oracle8i Enterprise Edition (64-bit) Release 3 (8.1.7) for HP 9000 Series HP-UX
But nothing for AIX.
We have an urgent requirement to get this up and running for our Dev't work and it would be a great help if we can download it as opposed to waiting 10 days for the CD to be burnt and shipped.
Thanks...Larry

is there any link which i can use to show that oracle 8i is not suppported for any version of AIX ?Go to the "Lifetime Support Policy: Oracle Technology Products" document, page 4. Found at http://www.oracle.com/support/lifetime-support-policy.html
That document provides 'expiry date' for all most Oracle tech product.

About Oracle 9i for AIX

Oracle version for AIX 5.3 ?

I just download the latest Oracle 10g Trial version for AIX 5L from the Web. But as I go through installation, while running "runInstaller", it gave me message:
"Checking operating system version: must be 5200
Failed <<<<"
Of course since I have AIX 5.3. The requirement of Oracle 10g says the OS should be "AIX 5L version 5.2, Main level 1 or higher". With AIX 5.3, is there a Oracle version?
thanks,

Thank you, it worked!
However it seems to me a more workaround. Is there a source to say Oracle 10g for AIX 5.3 is officially supported (or aka certified for the platform)? If a Oracle 10g is purchased and problem develops on AIX 5.3, I don't want to get a saying it is not yet certified.
Thanks,

Which oracle client for aix 6 xi31 sp3?

I need oracle client 10.2 for a installation of xi31 sp3 on aix 6 with an oracle 11g db in order for ldap to work properly.
My apologies for my lack of DB (oracle) experience, however, can someone please tell me which file I need for this and the associated link to download it?

Hi,
   Please explain in more details what do you mean "which files"?
   If you mean getting the physical files, then :
      To download BOE XI 3.1 with SP3, you need to log onto the SAP Support Portal (aka: Service Market Place) - http://service.sap.com/
      The Oracle D/B and the Oracle client will need to come from Oracle website. You will need to check with Oracle to see how you can get your hands on the files.
      As for AIX 6.1, I assumed that should already been setup since you quoted that in your last note.

WebLogic 6.1 Oracle Driver for AIX size

Can someone tell me the correct file size for the WebLogic 6.1 AIX driver
for Oracle - oci816_8/libweblogicoci37.so ?
I ask because our oci816_8 driver fails to load when making a connection
pool, giving an UnsatisfiedLinkError, although all the paths are correct,
but if I replace it with the oci817_8 driver, the oci817_8 driver loads OK,
but gives (as expected) a DBMS driver exception. This suggests our oci816_8
driver may be corrupt. The huge difference in the file sizes reinforces that
idea:
The file size on disk of our oci816_8 driver, which fails to load, is 197
kb.
The file size on disk of out oci817_8 driver, which loads OK, is 2.76 MB
Dave

Thanks to Kesava for the information we wanted. Looks like the driver is
probably OK. However, no joy getting it to load. We will now try the Oracle
drivers instead of the WebLogic drivers.

Oracle 8i (8.1.7 - 32bit) for AIX 5.1 (downloading)

Hello,
I need to download Oracle 8i (8.1.7 - 32bit) for AIX 5.1. I think it is the newest certificated Oracle db for AIX 5.1 and now I can't find this Oracle version..
Is it possible to find and get it from OTN? Thank you.

Hello,
This version is not available for download on the OTN site. The only versions that are available for download can be found at:http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/oracle8i/content.html

Oracle 8.1.7 for AIX 3.5

We are migrating to AIX 3.5 and our perl libraries require the Oracle 8.1.7 client and won't work with the newer clients.
Is 8.1.7 for AIX available for download anywhere?

Oracle's policy seems to be 'remove the download when the product becomes obsolete and unsupported'.
Oracle8i has been unsupported for some time now. If you are lucky, a conversation with your Sales Rep and with Oracle Support might provide the software.
<off>
But I must admit confusion - why upgrade pieces and expect the non-upgraded pieces to continue working without difficulty? Your mix-and-match approach is a recipie for long-term problem resolution opportunities

ORACLE XML PARSER FOR JAVA FOR AIX

Hi people!
I'm looking for the Oracle XML Parser for Java 9.0.2.0.0C, my 9iAS is BI Installation 9.0.2.3, where can I get it? In the Downloads Section there is only the version for 10g, and the existing versions for 9i are not for AIX (my OS is AIX 5.2L).
Thanks.

Thanks for your help, I navigate through this link and, even it shows a table where appears the release for AIX (9.2.0.6.0), when I get to http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/xml/xdk/software/prod/utilsoft_java.htm
it shows me only downloads for Sun, Linux and HP-UX, but not for AIX.
Has the version for AIX being deprecated or something like that?

32 bit version of Oracle 9i for HP-UX. and AIX

Is it possible to download the 32 bit version of Oracle 9i for HP and AIX? The partner download site only has the 64 bit versions available.

Hi. If you will check the product lifecycle area on Metalink you will find that there will be no Oracle9i 32 bit for HP-UX or AIX. There is a document there that basically says these platforms will no longer be supported as part of Oracle's strategy to keep current with all the hardware vendors moving to 64 bit.

TIA

Try opening a media request (SR) with Metalink.
