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.
