Actually, Oracle uses OPS internally on their e-mail system. For that
reason (Larry likes his mail fresh every morning) the OPS gets patches and
bug fixes with a very high priority. I used to have to install them.
Oracle runs it on HP-UX HA (High Availability). It's expensive but it
performs flawlessly if it's set up by HP and Oracle.

Please
respond to
ORACLE-L
What version and platform??? I've had some exposure to OPS in 7.3 on HP a
couple years ago and it was nightmare... I've heard it is much better now
though... Anyone using the 9i stuff yet??? I'm sure there are people with
more recent experience and their input more up to date than mine... That
being said, my concerns are that OPS is a relatively low usage product for
Oracle... And therefore, when you encounter an issue, it is more likely
that it is a "new" bug... Which means more diagnostic patches, down time,
less people with experience to talk to and more sleepless nights... Been
there, done that... If I were you, I wouldn't consider it unless it was at
least 8.1 or above... Get used to raw devices... I'm not sure, but I
think
the Oracle OPS license is fairly expensive... I really don't know for sure
though... And, make sure you have enough money in the budget to have an
OPS
system in your TEST environment... Trust me on that one... Regardless of
the version...
My questions are... Is this a new app or will you try to port an existing
app to OPS? Is this solely a failover standby? What is the failover time
requirements? How much money do you have to spend? Have you considered
standby databases? Either from Oracle or a third party (i.e. Shareplex)...
How big is the database?
Tim
PS - Yes... There are classes available for OPS...

Is anyone using Oracle Parallel Server? It that the best solution for a
standby server?
Any idea what it would cost? Are there any classes covering
implementation?
