A collection of automatically installed files required by Oracle assistants. These files include: |
Not applicable |
|
(installed with Net8 Client) |
8.1.6 |
A protocol that enables clients to retrieve information from the database without using the listener. The Bequeath protocol internally spawns a server thread for each client application. It basically does the same operation that a remote network listener does for your connection, but locally. Bequeath has the following attributes:
|
|
|
Java Runtime Environment (Oracle's version) |
1.1.7.24 |
Required for running Java applications, such as Oracle Universal Installer. |
Not applicable |
|
(part of Oracle JServer) |
8.1.6 |
A complete JDK 1.2-compliant Java execution environment. The Java VM runs in the same process space and address space as the database server, sharing its memory heaps and directly accessing its relational data. This design optimizes memory use, increases throughput, and delivers an open, highly available, secure, and manageable Java server. |
|
|
|
8.1.6 |
A protocol that enables client/server conversation over a network using Named Pipes and Net8. This combination of Oracle components enables an Oracle application on a client to communicate with remote Oracle databases through Named Pipes (if the Oracle database is running on a host system that supports network communication using Named Pipes). |
|
|
(installed with Net8 Client) |
8.1.6 |
A tool that combines configuration abilities with component control to provide an integrated environment for configuring and managing Net8. It can be used on either the client or server. You can use Net8 Assistant to configure the following network components:
If an Oracle Names server is configured, you start, stop, tune, or gather statistics for it with Net8 Assistant. |
|
|
Net8 Client |
8.1.6 |
A component that provides features that enable client connections to databases across a network. A client-side application sends a request to Net8 to be transported across the network to the server. Net8 Client (and not Oracle Universal Installer) installs TCP/IP and Named Pipes, and auto-detects SPX. SPX is only installed in the installation packages if the appropriate software is detected on your computer. If you explicitly select this component through the Custom installation type, it will be installed even if you do not have the appropriate software on your computer. |
|
|
(installed with Net8 Client) |
8.1.6 |
A tool that enables you to configure basic network components. Net8 Configuration Assistant runs automatically after software installation, as described in this guide. It can be used on either the client or server. It may be also be run in standalone mode to configure naming methods usage, the listener, net service names in the TNSNAMES.ORA file, and directory server access. |
|
|
Net8 Server |
8.1.6 |
A component that provides features that allow the listener, through a protocol, to accept connections from client applications on the network. Note: Net8 Server is not installable through any Oracle8i Client installation types. |
|
|
Object Type Translator (OTT) |
8.1.6 |
OTT is used to create C-struct representations of Abstract Data Types that have been created and stored in an Oracle database. To take advantage of objects, run OTT against the database, and a header file is generated that includes the C-structs. |

Oracle Names |
8.1.6 |
A distributed naming service developed for Oracle environments to help simplify the setup and administration of global, client/server computing networks.
