Question about VCS Oracle DataGuard agent on Unix platforms

[Alistair_Veit1]

Hi,

The VCS agent for Oracle DataGuard ver. 5.0.7.0 (on Unix platforms)'s installation document (document version 5.0.7.0.0) shows support for Solaris sparc & x64 for SFRAC, but only for sparc on VCS. Is this correct?

It seems strange that this agent isn't supported on Solaris x64 with VCS when it is supported on sparc. I'm hoping that this is an error in the Installation Guide.

Best Regards, Alistair.
