      1. docs and downloaded files reference different Oracle client versions. From 3scale docs for Oracle installation from the link Instant Client Downloads for Linux x86-64 (64-bit) , only the latest 19 version 19.16.0.0.0 is available ( for example
      instantclient-basic-linux.x64-19.16.0.0.0dbru.zip ) . But the same docs in list item 3, has a table 2.1, "Oracle 19c example packages for 3scale" which shows 19.8.0.0.0 versions ( e.g. instantclient-basic-linux.x64-19.8.0.0.0dbru.zip ) . Can the 19.16.0.0.0.0 version be used ? 3scale supported configurations references Version 19 for Oracle DB.

      [Joan] I think there's no problem, as long as it's still version 19 it shouldn't incorporate any breaking change or difference in behavior. In fact, the newest version the better, since it probably includes the last security updates. You could place somthing like this in the table: instantclient-basic-linux.x64-19.X.X.X.Xdbru.zip

      2. In code we set the version here and then check for the local assets matching that version here and so if it is not found to match we will download that automatically. Based on that it seems like the documentation currently lists a misleading version and needs to be fixed so that it matches what the code expects to find.

      [Darren] I can't find packages for Oracle Instant Client Downloads for Linux on Power Little Endian that relates to, or matches the latest Oracle version in the code, for example, install-instantclient-packages

      [Joan] Old packages are still available to download despite not being present in the downloads page, so the script will work anyway. Of course it would be good to point to the same version in the script and the docs, but that version can be any as long as it's 19.X.

            dfenness@redhat.com I don't know what to answer. Apparently only Oracle up to 19.3 is supported for ppc64le, there's nothing we can do. Clients must use that version.
