Oracle Solaris 11.3 SRU 27 Released
Solaris 11.3 SRU27 is now available from My Oracle Support Doc ID 2045311.1, or via 'pkg update' from the support repository at https://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/support .
Included in this SRU are some features that users may find useful:
- A new daxinfo command. This allows users to determine the static configuration of Data Analytics Accelerator (DAX) hardware available on a system.
- Oracle Database Programming Interface-C has been added to Oracle Solaris. Oracle Database Programming Interface-C (ODPI-C) is a wrapper around the Oracle Call Interface (OCI), working transparently with different versions of the Oracle Instant Client libraries.
- ODPI-C eliminates the requirement for applications to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH prior to execution. Additionally, ODPI-C works transparently with multiple versions of the Oracle Instant Client libraries. Software that requires use of the Oracle Instant Client libraries will not require setting ORACLE_HOME prior to execution.
