Thank you Gene. We are using a separate server for oracle DB.
I see an old installation in our environment where the the oracle.conf file located at /etc/ld.so.conf.d is having the oracle client entry (see below) instead of instant client and is working fine.
/app/oracle/client/12c/12.1.0.2/lib
As per our unix admin, they support only the RHEL tested software packages. Is there any package available for instant client in RedHat repository?
Our OS version: RHEL 7.5 64 bit.
if it is not available in RedHat repository, from where I can download this? please suggest.
