System requirements

The minimum system requirements and operating system requirements for the Oracle AQ Adapter are detailed in the release notes. In addition to these requirements, the following are additional requirements to install and run the Oracle AQ Adapter:

  • To install and run the Oracle AQ Adapter, the Oracle Enterprise Edition version and the Oracle AQ Adapter must be installed on the machine hosting the Command Server.
  • When running on a UNIX system, the Oracle client creates a process whenever a connection is made to Oracle. If any of these processes terminates, defunct processes will remain in the process list. Although not required (because these do not cause problems nor do they consume resources), you can prevent this occurrence by adding the following line to the sqlnet.ora file in the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin path:
    bequeath_detach=YES

    The effect of this line will be to create these same connection processes as detached orphans, thus eliminating the possibility of them becoming defunct.
