Resolved issue	Issue ID
The previous versions of the Plug‑in for Oracle were using Oracle Net connections to authenticate with the Oracle Server, thus the RMAN restore job could fail with the following error: "ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor” Now, the Plug‑in for Oracle is modified to use Operating System Authentication Level as the default authentication method.	32710

System requirements

Before installing Plug‑in for Oracle 11.3, ensure that your system meets the requirements outlined in the Quest NetVault Backup Compatibility Guide available at https://support.quest.com/technical-documents.

Upgrade and compatibility

•

Plug‑in for Oracle® 11.3 requires NetVault Backup 10.0 or later. For complete supported-platform information, see the Quest NetVault Backup Compatibility Guide.

•

Upgrading from 5.0: When upgrading from 5.0 of the plug-in, note the following:

•

If you are using a permanent 5.0 Edition-Based License Key, obtain a new license key before upgrading to a later version. The 5.0 Edition-Based License Keys were issued between June 2007 and May 2008. If you are using an older Oracle® Online or Oracle RMAN permanent license key, a new permanent license key is not required.

•

After upgrading to the new version, the default attributes must be entered again. This requirement is true whether you are currently using an evaluation key or permanent key for 5.0.

•

Upgrading from Oracle® Online and Oracle RMAN Plug-ins: When upgrading from the Oracle Online or Oracle RMAN plug-ins, note the following:

•

The concept of a backup method has been introduced. The plug-in offers two backup methods: User Managed and RMAN. The User Managed backup method correlates to the backup method used by previous versions of the Oracle Online plug-in. The RMAN backup method correlates to the backup method used by previous versions of the Oracle RMAN plug-in.

•

Backups taken with previous versions of the Oracle Online or Oracle RMAN plug-in can be restored with the consolidated Plug-in for Oracle.
