Question

I am trying to download Oracle Data Access Components. Some of the components are named as XCopy version. I know that XCopy is a command but what exactly does it mean in this context ?

Was it helpful?

Solution

it appears to be referring to the same Xcopy command you are, and will do an Xcopy deployment, instead of using OUI. From the documentation (this, for example):

Administrators use XCopy to deploy Oracle Data Provider for .NET to large numbers of computers for production deployments. The XCopy has a smaller installation size and fine-grain control during installation and configuration than Oracle Universal Installer.

The install.bat for the 12c ODAC installer is doing:

xcopy asp.net %2 /E /F /R /Y >> %2\install.log

etc., for each component, where %2 is the path supplied to the installer, e.g. c:\oracle.
