May I ask a question:

How to install oracle client together with CloudAppLauncher? 

Thanks and regards

Hi Huy;

  The CAL is for PB Apps only. Things like the Oracle DB client installation (usually an EXE or MSI) would be pre-installed. You could have CAL download the DB Client install but would then need your PB App to run it. Having ADMIN rights though could be a challenge for the average user.

  The next alternative would be to move to PowerServer 2021 where no DB software is required on the workstations. PS handles all DB interactions from the middle tier.

Regards ... Chris

Adding to what Chris said, try this PowerServer demo app for yourself and experience no need to install DB client with cloud architecture: https://demo.appeon.com/?powerserver

Another thing you could do is what we do for Tibero databases:

- use JDBC to interact with Oracle

- there's standalone "xcopy" packages available for which you would only have to copy a "self containted" set of jdbc files and set some registry entries to point to the correct jar files. (not my preferred way though for Oracle).

("self contained" not "containted".)
