- Oracle Client Software Manager
-
- Oracle Client Software Manager enables network administrators to install
- software once on a shared network location rather than many times onto
- individual client machines. Installation is centralized; updates to software
- on client workstations are automatic.
-
- Oracle Client Software Manager System Administrator:
- - To configure other groups or to change the default
- configuration, run the Oracle Client Configuration Manager
- installed in the Oracle group.
-
- - When configuring various groups, keep in mind that a user can
- belong to multiple groups. Some groups may have conflicting
- settings associated with them. Use the Conflict Resolution
- Dialog to handle this situation. The conflicting products
- will be configured according to the settings of the Conflict
- Resolution Dialog.
-
- - You cannot be both the Oracle Client Software Manager administrator
- and an Oracle Client Software Manager client on the same machine.
-
- - When you setup the Oracle Client Software Manager on a network
- operating system, remember to make the shared Oracle home location
- accessible to your clients.
-
- - Please carefully read the chapter on "Installing and Using Oracle
- Client Software Manager".
-
- Oracle Client Software Manager Client:
- - To set up a client to use Oracle Client Software Manager, connect
- to the network location that the administrator connected
- to when the shared products were installed.
-
- - Run the Oracle Client Software Agent (sharagt.exe) from the shared
- Oracle home's bin directory. In the Windows File Manager, go to the
- shared Oracle home BIN directory and double-click on SHARAGT.EXE.
-
- The Oracle Client Software Agent will install itself on the client
- machine in the startup group and set up the client's local Oracle
- home. The default is \ORA<OS>, where OS is NT or 95 depending on
- platform Oracle Client Software Agent is running on.
-
- - After installing the Oracle Client Software Agent (see the chapter
- "Installing and Using Oracle Client Software Manager"), your Windows
- desktop will be automatically configured and updated to run the
- products that the Oracle Client Software Manager System Administrator
- provides for you.
-
- - The Agent is activated upon Windows startup or by the user.
- Upon activation, the agent compares the client's local Oracle home
- with the shared Oracle home set up by the administrator. If any
- differences are found, the Oracle Client Software Agent launches
- the Oracle Installer which performs updates and installs accordingly.
-
- - If you are managed by an installation of Oracle Client Software
- Manager, you will not be able to install other Oracle products on
- your machine.
