RE: Oracle Internet File System

Thank you very much. I hope this doesn't mean that future versions of Oracle Files. neé Oracle Ifs, will only be available by purchasing Oracle Collaboration Suite.

There is always the possibility that this is exactly what could happen, if it hasn't already.

Notice the way the main Oracle product is divided between Standard and Enterprise. There are certain features (spatial, for example) which are ONLY available if an Enterprise licence is purchased. The fact that the spatial stuff will run an a standard installation indicates (as usual) that these divisions are often marketing-led. Energetic user groups and customers can have influence in correcting these anomalies...

iFS 1.X.X and below is alternately with the 8.1.7 database and 9iAS 1.0.2.X

9iFS 9.0.1 is with the Database CD Pack {on a seperate CD}

9iFS 9.0.2 is part of 9iAS 9.0.2 {on a seperate CD}

9iFS 9.0.3 has been renamed as Oracle Files and is part of Oracle Collaboration Suite.

Check the MetaLink certification pages for "Internet File System" [which goes upto 9.0.1] "9i Internet Application Server" [where 9iFS 9.0.2 is listed under components for 9iAS 9.0.2]
"Oracle Collaboration Suite" [where Oracle Files 9.0.3 is listed under components for OCS 9.0.3]
