Can one access Oracle from OpenEdition Unix Services?
With Oracle7 for MVS Version 7.1.6 or higher, Oracle applications written in C or Assembler can be compiled and executed from an OS/390 UNIX environment. A UNIX application running under OS/390 UNIX Services can access the Oracle database on OS/390 (or anyware else). Some Oracle database utilities, like sqlplus and tnsping, are also available from Unix Services. As one one can scroll the screen up and sown from OMVS, utilities like sqlplus are much easier to use from the Unix side. For more details, refer to the Appendix in the Oracle for OS/390 User’s Guide.
