Dwayne, Read the README file that is associated with the patch. There are a lot of conditions that you must meet before installing the patch. I like the first requirement the best. - You must have located this patch via a Bug Database entry and have the exact symptoms described in the bug entry. I located the patch from the email they sent me. Do I fail the first requirement??? Do I have to file a bug report to locate the correct patch?? Do they really think that people would arbitrarily search for different patches based on a random number generator just so they could gain the experience of installing patches? Or practice their backup and restore procedures? Ron >>> dwaynec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 09/01/2004 10:39:27 AM >>> Has anyone looked at or applied the patch to a test server yet? If so, what issues did you experience? I will probably apply it to my test server (Oracle9i on RHAS 3.0) sometime next week. -- dwayne ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
