Oracle Tuxedo Licensing

Hi All,
I am very new to Tuxedo and I need some guideline from you in licensing tuxedo 11g for a development system.
Our client is having an application whcih is currently running on Tuxedo 8.1 + Oracle 10g and it is as ATMI application. Currently we are having named developer licenses from BEA. They are planning to upgrade the system to Tuxedo 11g + Oracle 11g, keeping the old setup for a while. I am responsible for setting up a new developement environemnt using new versions. As BEA is aquired by Oracle I am not finding sufficient information to see how to so same kind of licensing with oracle.
Below are my question, which may look silly but I very new to this setup and really need your help.
1. Do I have to purchase licenses for developers purpose as I could see there are some options under OTN that we can use the product for development free of cost and for running in production only we have to pay.
2. Is there any way to determine how many of my developer liceses are really being used in the server. I just want to confirm that current develoer licese are getting used by full extend.
3. If I need to purchase licenses, is it possible to have named developer liceses ? Is there any dependency for number of liceses on the server and onlice services or batch jobs.
Thanking in advance,
Siju

Hi,
Although I'm not a licensing expert by any means, from what I read of the OTN license, you can no longer develop your application with an OTN license once the application you are developing has been started to be used. For more details on the OTN license and what it grants, see: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/licenses/standard-license-152015.html
As for other licenses, I believe in general that most Oracle software products are licensed either on the number of cores the product is running on, or on a named user basis. For production, pre-production, testing, QA, and development and disaster recovery, you will most likely need licenses.
Again, your Oracle Sales Executive or local distributor would have the most accurate information. If all else fails, you might try contacting Oracle Sales at: [email protected]

  • Installable for Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP (CICS)

    Hi,
    Could anyone please help me to find the installable for "Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP (CICS)", does this comes with the Tuxedo 10g installable or is it a separate plug-in that I need to download and install.
    Regards,
    Priyanka

    Hi Priyanka,
    The Tuxedo Mainframe Adapters are separably licensed products and not included in the Tuxedo kits. I'm not certain the mainframe adapters are yet available for 10gR3 (I'm checking on this), and for whatever reason the latest version I can find for download is the 9.1 version that can be downloaded from eDelivery.

  • Oracle tuxedo and Oracle tuxedo message queue on top of a virtual machine.

    Hi buddies.
    how is it going?
    A quick question.
    So we are going to go live  using Oracle Tuxedo 12.1.1.0 with Distinguished Bulletin Board Liaison and Oracle Tuxedo Message Queue 12.1.1.0  on top of a Virtual Machine (VMWARE) running Oracle Linux 6.2. However we want to know if there are any recommendations or mishaps in which we may face ahead by running Oracle Tuxedo on a virtual machine?
    I mean, I am wondering if I have to worry about kernel parameters, virtual machine parameters or any other thing from which could mess up everything.
    Another question.
    Does oracle also provide virtual machines certification where Oracle tuxedo would run on top of ?
    Todd Little-Oracle
    Maurice G

    Hi Bruno,
    I'm not sure what you mean with Distinguished Bulletin Board Liaison.  I'm guessing you mean a clustered or MP configuration?  And is it truly a clustered configuration or just a single machine MP configuration?
    Regarding configuration, are you using Tuxedo services as well or just Tuxedo Message Queue?  The biggest issue related to OS configuration is around IPC resources.  If you do a tmloadcf -c on your UBBCONFIG file, it will help you determine the minimum IPC resources required.  In general I suggest configuring significantly more resources than the minimum to allow for future changes and for some of the parameters for heavier loads.  In particular IPC message queue parameters are heavily dependent upon load.  So make sure the maximum message size and queue size are large enough for your anticipated workload.  You can monitor them under load using the ipcs command.
    We don't certify virtual machine environment but support them as long as the VM vendor assures compatibility, which obviously VMware and Oracle VM both do.

  • Oracle 10g Licensing Query

    Hi,
    I have a query with regards to Oracle 10g licensing for additional options (OLAP, Data Mining, Partitioning, Spatial & Database Vault) on top of enterprise edition.
    Even though i am not using any of the options, i have them installed along with enterprise edition. Do i still need to pay for these additional options?
    From 10g, you can always prove to oracle that any of the features/options are not in use via DBA_FEATURE_USAGE_STATISTICS.
    We are using shared infrastructure for hosting many application databases. Today we have a application that uses only partitioning, but tommorrow we might have to create a database within the same oracle home that uses OLAP & data mining as well.
    would be interested in knowing what is oracle stand on this i.e. we pay for additional options only if we are using them or we pay just because they are installed regardless of we are using them or not??
    Thanks & Regards
    Chandar

    Chandark,
    You need to pay licenses if you are using it commercially and if it is installed and you haven't paid for it then how would you stop anyone not using it because its not paid but its there. This will be against your contractual agreement and they may fine you or you have to pay for the options. So I recommend not to install options you haven't paid for to avoid any issues. But if you are using for learning purpose and not commercial then you are good. You can further contact local Oracle Support or local Sales rep for more information
    Hope this helps, regards

  • Oracle XE license trade mark

    Hi guys,
    I read a lot of threads regarding the XE (+apex + listener) license and I think/hope I understood it correctly.
    Seems like XE has a license that is free and you are able to use the DB for production products. In that license you have apex and listener.(I am not 100% sure about listener).
    But the question is about the trademark:
    This is what oracle XE license says:
    In marketing, promoting, or distributing the programs, you agree to make it clear that Oracle is the source of the programs. You shall include on all copies of the programs used or distributed by you:
    A. A reproduction of Oracle's copyright notice; or
    B. A copyright notice indicating that the copyright is vested in you containing the following:
    1. A "c" in a circle and the word "copyright";
    2. Your name;
    3. The date of copyright; and
    4. The words "All rights reserved."
    Such notices shall be placed on the documentation, the sign-on screen for any software incorporating the programs, and any media containing the programs.
    I have an online application with login screen that is accesed by the clients.
    what is A. A reproduction of Oracle's copyright notice
    and what is B? what does it mean?
    In case of B do I need to have somewhere in the page something like '(c) copyright Alin 2014-2015 All rights reserved'?
    Thank you,
    Alin

    Thanks jariola,
    I checked that blog before. it says about XE license and it clarifies a lot. But it does not explain you should reproduce Oracle's Copyright notice or you should create one by yourself: (A copyright notice indicating that the copyright is vested in you containing the following:)
    any idea?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Tuxedo is unable to make any HTTPS calls other than SOAP/HTTPS. So if you are using web services, then SALT can perform SOAP/HTTPS calls, although I don't believe we support the message signing feature of WS-Security (although you might want to check the SALT 10gR3 or later documentation.)
    We are considering adding support for HTTP/HTTPS directly in Tuxedo, but that feature is not available in any current version of Tuxedo. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

  • Is ODI 12c included in 12c Oracle Server License?

    Hello,
    I'm looking into the licensing information and the only thing I was able to find out about ODI 12c is for Data integrator Enterprise Edition, that costs some 23k per CPU.
    Plus Golden Gate for access to non-Oracle data sources.
    Can someone please let me know if there's a basic version of ODI included in Oracle Server 12c license and if possible provide a link? It would be very helpful, since my current customers are using basic OWB and if they got to shell out 23k+ per CPU for ODI I think they'll look into the alternatives on the market.
    Kind regards,
    m

    No, ODI license is not included with Oracle DB license.

  • Oracle Tuxedo 8.1 With Oracle 11g Database

    Hi,
    I have an old application that must be compiled with oracle 8.1 and Oracle9i Database.
    We are migrating to Oracle 11g Database, and now we have some inssues to compile with Oracle 11g Database. For example some Libraries that the Tuxedo XA Resource Manager needs from the Oracle Database, that just u can found on older versions like Oracle9i (kpudfo.o file).
    what can be the solution for that problem?
    An Oracle 11g database config or a Tuxedo config ?

    Hi,
    When you say "Tuxedo XA Resource Manager" I'm not sure what you are referring to. Do you mean the Tuxedo transaction management servers (TMS) servers that are built with the buildtms command? If so, if there are linking errors, it has to do with either your library paths or the RM definition for Oracle Database in the $TUXDIR/udataobj/RM file. Tuxedo itself only uses the XA switch from the resource manager such as Oracle database. Now the resource manager may require a bunch of libraries, which is why I suggested you check your library path. If the above doesn't help, can you post the error you are getting and what is generating/creating the error?

  • Oracle User Licensing

    Hi,
    Does anyone can help us out with Oracle User Licensing.
    We have most of the users as iExpense user or requisition users, means they use oracle only for entering their expense report or creating requisition. Does anybody have clarity that whether we still need oracle license for them?
    Or is their any mini/small kind of license for these group of employees?
    Say in a company of 5000 employees, only 200 uses oracle but do we need to buy lincese for all 5000, since we have to provide them iexpense responsibility for their expense report?
    Any clarification on this matter is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Thanks Srini for your quick reply.
    Before we go to Sales rep, we wanted to see if some companies have negotiated for iExpense user or temp user rates.
    It will not make sense to buy the licence for 5000 users when only 200 are active users and 4800 are only iexpense or requisition users.
    If we ask this question to oracle rep, they are bound to try to sell the full license to us.
    Have you heard of situation like us anytime?

  • Oracle Options licensed 1:1 with Oracle Ent. Edition 11gR2 or by Instance?

    Are Oracle Options licensed 1:1 with Oracle Ent. Edition 11gR2 (e.g. by CPU core multiplier) or by number of database instances on a host? In other words, if I need to purchase two Oracle Enterprise Edition licenses for a single host, do I need to purchase the same number of Oracle Option licenses (again, based on a CPU core multiplier). Or by the number of Oracle database instances installed on that host?
    Anyone have a link to an official Oracle options licensing document that spells this out? Found one for 11g but it didn't get down into the weeds, saying if there was any difference between # of licenses required for an Option vs. a license for Oracle Enterprise Edition itself.
    Requested Oracle option licensing reference

    They are licensed 1:1 with EE, so 4 EE licenses means 4 Partitioning Option licenses, etc.
    It is in the Oracle Store.

  • Oracle Lite licensing

    I would like to know if buying oracle lite licenses for our remote users than I have to pay the same number of licenses for Enterprise database server which synchronizes data with Olite via Mobile Server. For example : With 1000 remote users (with 1000 Olite licenses) have I to pay also unlimited enterprise database license, or I can pay only one enterprise license or nothing ?
    Thanks for the attention.

    Hi,
    Related to Oracle Lite you need to license:
    - the Oracle Lite Mobile Server
    - the Oracle Lite client (for each device)
    If you want to have an aproach check any online store of Oracle, but anyway you will have to contact an Oracle Partner for licensing, discounts, etc... if your partner know about mobile ;-)

  • Reference for writing COBOL prog with DB2 with ATMI calls for Oracle Tuxedo

    Hi..
    Am using IBM COBOL for AIX 2.0.0 on Oracle Tuxedo10g R3..
    And for database IBM DB2 Version 8.2..
    I have to write a program in Cobol with queries and with ATMI calls for Tuxedo..
    I need some reference manuals for this or some sample program..
    I also need the connectivity from cobol-DB2 to Tuxedo..
    Can anyone send me link for the same?
    The tutorial CSIMPAPP and STOCKAPP was really helpful..
    Am searching for the similar kind..
    Thanks in advance..
    Edited by: user8103349 on Mar 19, 2009 8:43 PM

    Hi,
    Hopefully someone has some DB2 COBOL code to share. But in any case, using Tuxedo with COBOL and DB2 should be very similar to simply writing normal DB2 COBOL programs. The major difference is that Tuxedo will take care of making the connection to the database and should normally be allowed to perform all transaction management.
    From a configuration standpoint you'll need to add the appropriate line in the Tuxedo RM file that lists how Tuxedo needs to link DB2 XA libraries into the application. The connection information is provided in the OPENINFO string passed along to the TMS that you need to build for DB2 with the buildtms command, and finally you'll need to build your servers with the -r switch to tell Tuxedo which XA libraries need to be linked into the application.
