Cannot download Oracle client 12.2.0.1 for Linux

[benoit-schmid]

Good afternoon,

I have downloaded the Oracle 12.2.0.1 RDBMS Client V1 64bit for linux.

Unfortunately it does only contain the client for windows.

I am performing the following.

softwarecenter
Databases
Database and Database Patches
Oracle
Oracle 12.2 Software (64-bit)
INSTALLATION
LINUX
51052766 / Oracle 12.2.0.1 RDBMS Client V1 64bit

Unzip the file and you get the following.

% ls 51052766
CDLABEL.ASC

COPY_TM.TXT

LABELIDX.ASC

SHAFILE.DAT
CDLABEL.EBC

LABEL.ASC

MD5FILE.DAT

VERSION.ASC
COPY_TM.HTM

LABEL.EBC

OCL_WINDOWS_X86_64

VERSION.EBC

Where could I download this client?

Have a good day.

Hi Benoit,

Please go to the directory OCL_WINDOWS_X86_64, you will find OCL*.SAR file.

Extract that file and there you are..

Hello,

If you extarct the file, you only find windows related files and not linux executables and libraries.

Can you paste content of LABEL.ASC file?

Hello,

Here it is.

cat Downloads/51052766/LABEL.ASC
ORACLE:12.2:CLIENT:Oracle CLIENT 12.2.0.1 V1:CD51052766

But try it on your own if you believe that it contains other files than the on for windows 🙂

Hi Benoit,

You're correct, the ORacle client for Linux contains WINDOWS files.

I guess you need talk to SAP on this.

Hello Benoît Schmid,

Can you please check SAP note below?

1914631 - Central Technical Note for Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1)

Thank you

Yogesh

[benoit-schmid]

Hello,

You note is not relevant because it deals about 12.1 and not 12.2.

Regards,

[patelyogesh]

Sorry my mistake.

Correct note is : 2470660 - Oracle Database Central Technical Note for 12c Release 2 (12.2)

Regards,

Yogesh
