thats the version of oracle client installed on the server so that it will use the APIs for that version.
So 10 is for Oracle 10 and 11 is for Oracle 11.
Although I would not recommend but You can still bypass that by creating a few soft links on the unix server.

No I did not advise you to use 10, You should use 11 if the client is 11.
I mentioned that in case you are migrating from one system to another where the oracle client is different, you can avoid changing it by creating some soft links. Or install compatible oracle client ofcourse.

Thanks priyadarshikunal.
I got your point, Whenever I interact with you. I will get chance to explore further.
Now I got one more question.
I will use 11 as variant for now. In future the oracle client changed to some other version then you suggesting "somesoft links", I am not clear with this ?
Is there any other stage to avoid this version conflict ?
