Greetings, Ken - 

At the start of the PB 2021 publication "Connecting to Your Database" for the Oracle native interface, in the section titled "Supported versions for Oracle", the "ORA" interface (SQLCA.DMBS = "ORA") shows that Oracle 11g is supported, so I'm not sure why you say Oracle 11g is not supported.

https://docs.appeon.com/pb2021/connecting_to_your_database/ch03s05.html#XREF_11471_Supported_versions

If I have misunderstood your question or if this information does not answer your question, please provide some additional details, such as:

1. The version/release/build of PB you are using.
2. The DMBS property value your app is using (SQLCA.DBMS = ???)
3. More information about why you believe 11g is not supported.

Best regards, John

You can try to use an Oracle 12c Client to connect to your 11g Server. I've done that successfully a few years ago, not sure if it still works.

If you want to use "the old" appeon version, you have to install the old appeon version. Which version is "the old" version?

PowerBuilder doesn't connect directly to the database server, it connects to the client software. You just need to find a version of Oracle Client that is supported by your version of PowerBuilder that is closest to your version of Oracle server.

Not sure i understand what you are asking.  

oracle 11g is supported in powerbuilder using the ORA interface.  

https://docs.appeon.com/pb2019r3/connecting_to_your_database/ch03s05.html

 

 

are you asking what oracle client is needed?  That is oracle software, not appeon.

Have you tried using a 12c client?

powerServer! I thought you were asking about powerBuilder.



PowerServer 2020 is completely different than PowerServer 2021. It is so different, they really should have came up with a brand new product name for it rather than a simple number change. You can probably get the older version, but it has a lot of other incompatibilities so it isn't a simple redeployment..



IMO, the differences between oracle 11 and 12 are not that great that things should not work. However that does depend on what you are doing and the problem you are getting.



In any case, if appeon does not support Oracle 11 on powerSERVER 2021 than they are not going to be able to do anything for you.
