Please be aware that Oracle 10g (recommended) or Oracle 9i is required for SiteManager 3.11a, Oracle 8i is not
supported. Windows XP and Windows 7 are both supported starting with this version.
SiteManager 3.11a is a 32-bit application. Therefore Windows 7 (64-bit) requires the 32-bit version of Oracle
Client and configuration with the 32-bit version of the ODBC Data Source Administrator.
TDOT does not manage non-TDOT computers and does not have sufficient security rights to administer shared
software like Oracle on non-TDOT computers. However, because Oracle 9i or 10g is required to run
SiteManager, we have provided a convenient link to download the Oracle 10g install program and this guide for
configuring Oracle to work with SiteManager.
Note: Oracle 10g and Oracle [Link].0 are two names for the same software and are used interchangeably.
SiteManager setup guides are located on the TDOT Construction SiteManager website:
