  • Hi Srinivas,
    We would like to upgrade the OATS from 12.5.0.2 to 12.5.0.3
    Is there any new version of OATS planned this year, so that we can wait for the new version and install the latest ?

    Please advise

      I heard some time back that there would be a release, but not sure when it is. I think you can go ahead with 12.5.0.3 instead of waiting.
      When you say Upgrade OATS, do you mean upgrade of OTM ? as you must be aware that OFT cannot be upgraded, it has to be un installed and installed freshly.

  • Hi Srinivas,

    I am trying to write a script to test cloud application. The scenario is to add data from a .csv fie to Solr. I have added the required jar files and the code from https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/using-solrj.html. In my Openscript, 12.5.0.3, its showing error in the line, CloudSolrClient client = new CloudSolrClient.Builder().withZkHost(zkHostString).build();

    It says “CloudSolrClient cannot be resolved
    to a type” ..
    Would you be able to help ?

    Thanks

      Hi Renjith,

      Thank you for reaching out to us, sure i can try my best, in this cases, the first thing I would try If i were you, is to clean the project.
      Switch to Developer Perspective and you get a set of menu items, I clearly do not remember which menu item, but there will be some thing like clean a project. You can try that first and switch to tester perspective and run the script again.

      If it still does not work, please see if you can come on a screen share, I would like to give a try once.

      Thank You,
      Regards,
      Srinivas P.

  • Hi Srinivas,

    Could you please let me know the Licence price for OATS?

      Hi Arun,

      The OATS license depends completely on which component of OATS you are trying to purchase. OFT has a license price of 12K USD to my knowledge, not sure if it is changed now. Best is to get in touch with Oracle guys, as they generally give huge discounts, i.e. they will give license for way less than 12K USD.

      Please do not show this as reference to oracle guys and bargain 🙂 things might have changed since the last time i interacted with them 🙂

      thank you,
      Regards,
      Srinivas P.

      Generally you may not be able to see the add-on, just launch the chrome browser through OATS and then in that browser go to extensions, then you may be able to view them.
