Depends on how much you are willing to pay :-)

If you ask specific questions here you will generally get helpful answers. What specificly are you having a problem with?

OK OK

I'm actually migrating a VAX/Oracle 7 application to Oracle9.2 and i've some trouble.

When running an old application program (C/Pro*C) after only relinking it, i've the following error : "cannot find libclntsh.exe". It seems to be a problem to access Oracle library libclntsh...

What is the trouble ? a recompilation is necessary ? a Pro*C configuration ? a modification of makefile configuration option ?

I need help ...

Ok, so where is that library?
Tried a brute-force search?
How was the linker supposed to find it?
How did the 7.x implementation find it?
.OPT file? Logical name? sys$library?
Did you adjust those to the new pointer to the new 9.x locations?
I'm sure Oracle has this documented, but if this was a tottlay unknown product with no remaining support, then I'd brute force it with SET WATCH FILE/CLASS=MAJOR to determine what it is lookgin for an dat which stage. (Beware... could be a lot of output :-).

Hope this helps some,

Hein.

Hi Berlioz,

did the link of the application work without problems? If yes you most probably have the shareable image defined somewhere in an options statement to the linker. If it is not in sys$share define a logical pointing to the library in question (another approach is to copy it to sys$share, but I do not like this too much since it does pollute hp's installation).

Greetings, Martin
