Business Objects 6.5 running on Oracle Instant Client

[agray123]

Since I am unable to breach the highly secured Business Objects corporate site - I have decided to come back home to tek tips to post this question.

Is it possible to install Business Objects 6.5 (thick client) and use Oracle Instant Client instead of the recommended 9.0.3 full client? (of course we are running on Oracle/AIX)

Not sure if anyone has done this - but the customer I am working with would be happy if we could do this since the instant client is an easier install to manage.

Hi,
The Instant Client is an Oracle client, so it should work.

See the FAQ here for more details:
