Dear All,

We are actuallly going to do an upgrade. We would like to know whether Solaris 10 is compatible with the Oracle7 Server Release 7.1.6.2.0, SQL forms 3.0.16.12.09, and SQL report writer 5. Also state whether a re-compilation of all the forms and report need to be done?

Thanks for the usual support.

Check it in Oracle's Certification Matrices.

Even without checking certification matrix, just a matter of logic, how could a product desupported about 10 years before an OS exists be certified for this OS?
It definitivly does not work.
But anyway check the source: Littlefoot's link.

Not only is is not supported, it does not work.

We at one time had an Oracle 7 server with Forms 3.0 and were not able to upgrade past version 8 of Solaris. It's not that it would work and we just couldn't get support, it would flat out not run at all.

just a matter of logic

Huh, right, for you who are familiar with Solaris operating system. I've only heard of it, but have no idea about its versions.

I have worked with Oracle 7.1 along with Forms 3.0 and Report Writer 1.1 (on OpenVMS, though) so - if someone needs assistance about these ancient versions, I'd be glad to help as much as I can.

I assume that someone that works on an OS knows a little bit about it.

I guess that your assumption is correct.

This is my operating system:
