PH and Oracle Upgrade

[Darren Reely]

Hi All,

Is anyone running Powerhouse 8.13D1 or better on Solaris 8 against 
Oracle 8i 8.1.7 or maybe even Oracle 9i? I'm interested in problem and 
success stories.  The Cognos support page mentions three 'Known 
problems' against 8..23D, One of which I'm sure was in a earlier version 
of PH. So I am concerned they also would affect 8.13.

Our current system is PH 8.13D1, Oracle 7.3.4, and Solaris 6 (SunOS 
5.6).  In the last few years we have implemented cursors. Some very 
complicated.

This year we are looking at upgrading to PH 8.13D7, Solaris 8, and at 
least Oracle 8i 8.1.7.  Personally I'm interested in moving straight to 
Oracle 9i.


To the Cognos group:

I'm wondering if I understand the PH release numbering properly.  Is 
8.23 for PH Web only and 8.13 for non PH Web users?

Also, is Solaris expected to have any major PH upgrade this year?


Thank you all for your help.
