Hello,
we have recently bought new machines and transferred Oracle databases
from AIX SP machines to (normal) AIX (pSeries) machines.
Last things we were to transfer was development environment
(which includes Cobol/Procobol programs).
In the new environment AIX on pSeries Oracle for AIX (non for AIX SP)
is installed, but -as you know better than I- several changes are between
Oracle for AIX and Oracle for AIX SP, e.g. libraries in $ORACLE_HOME/lib.
Unfortunately these specific Oracle for AIX SP libraries are used during
compilation. Of course, we will discuss and check against the real need
for those libraries. But in the meantime I would like to detail my
knowledge about this situation.

My question now is:
- What shall we do to transfer development from SP to pSeries machines as
Oracle software is concerned?
- Can, may or shouldn't I force Oracle for AIX SP installation on pSeries
(or other non-SP standalone machine)?
- What behaviour may I expect on client side, development environment and
server side (on the db) when using Oracle software for AIX SP on non-SP
machine?

Thank you very much for any hint.
Best regards,
Igor
