9.2.0.5 Ent Ed on AIX5L
I'm in the process of upgrading to 10.2.0.3. In preparation I'm
installing the client software on a few windows machines and testing
that running against the 9i databases on our AIX servers. I'm having
some trouble on my machine with various applications.
I figured out that my old install of OEM console will not work using
the new 10g home. So I've installed the new OEM console for 10g and
I'm just curious if there might be any compatibility issues with
running OEM console from my windows machine on our 9i databases? I've
done some searching on metalink and can't find a compatibility matrix
on it.
Also, if anyone is familiar with Toad, is there a way to have Toad
point to the new client home? I've tried setting environment variables
for oracle_home and tns_admin and it sees the new tnsnames.ora file
but it is still trying to use the old 9i home and .dll files. The
version of Toad that I am running is an old freeware version, and I'm
actually not as concerned about it since I've started using
SqlDeveloper.
Thanks,
Ben

10g Grid control should be capable to manage 9i databases. And yes, it
is documented, probably in the grid control installation
documentation.
The connect window in Toad has an Oracle Home locator. You can select
one and simply tick it as the default.

Forgive my ignorance here, but are 10g Grid Control and Oracle
Enterprise Manager console (the windows install located on the client
cd) the same thing? I'm a little confused as to the differences in the
OEM Grid Control install cds, that include a patch to 10.2.0.3 on a
seperate disk and the version that is included on the client disk. I
know the Grid Control install disks are for AIX but why isn't there a
patch for the windows client version?
