Supported Oracle® Versions for RDB

The following server versions are supported - see the table below.
Only the Standard and Enterprise Editions are supported.
Only 64bit versions of the Oracle® client are supported.
Oracle® Client installation is also supported under Linux. For a detailed installation manual, see the chapter Oracle Client 19c Installation under Linux.
For the function dbOpenRecordset() with the cursor types 1 and 3 use the Oracle-Full Client Patch-Version 19.13 (p33155330_190000_MSWIN-x86-64).

CAUTION:

The VC14 support is automatically installed together with the Oracle® client software under Windows!
The directory of the Oracle® client oci\lib\msvc\vc14 must exist and the OS system path variable must also refer to the directory of the oraocci14.dll in the \oci\lib\msvc\vc14:

Therefore, the OS system path variable must be extended with the full path of the %ORACLE_HOME%\oci\lib\msvc\vc14 directory at the beginning of the system path.
Consider that the usage of the Oracle® Client is only supported for operating systems officially supported by Oracle. If a different operating system is used and an Oracle Service-Request is required, the problem must be reproducible on an officially supported operating system.
The use of queryRDBdirect requires OCCI (Oracle Call Interface) Version 12c To use the Version 12c, proceed as follows:
- Install WinCC OA version
- Install the Oracle database 19c.
- Download the Oracle client Version 12c library into the "ORACLE INSTALLATION PATH/ oci/lib/msvc/vc14/".
- Set the Version 12c library path in the environment variable.
- Start your WinCC OA project with the Reporting manager.
