Hi Del 

I could see oracle SPARC support API v8.1 but BA client not released for v8.1. 
What is the purpose of releasing API support for v8.1 without BA client ?

Means no BA client backup supported but still support TDP for oracle ? TDP also 
require BA client to install. 

Please advise if you have any background.
