Installing Oracle 12.1.0.2 client 32-bit

Oracle
Instructions on how to install the Oracle 12.1.0.2 client (32-bit).

The deployer and Topology Editor use Oracle 12.1.0.2 client (32-bit). The deployer must run on the Host DB server. Therefore, in the Tivoli® Netcool® Performance Manager, Oracle 12.1.0.2 client (32-bit) must be installed.

You must specify a different directory path for the Oracle 12.1.0.2 client (32-bit) from the directory specified when installing the Oracle 12.1.0.2 server. For example, assuming that Oracle 12.1.0.2 server is installed in /opt/oracle/product/12.1.0 then you must install the Oracle 12.1.0.2 client (32-bit) in /opt/oracle/product/12.1.0-client32.

You must install Oracle client 32-bit on all machines except for the server that hosts the Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager database server. Should there be another Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager component on the server hosting the Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager database server, the client must also be installed on that server, having a separate ORACLE_HOME for both Oracle client and server.
