RE: Oracle one-off Patch Install util

Hmmmm...On separate occasions, I've placed iTARs on Windohs, Linux, and HP/UX. When asked, I've run RDA. I don't remember the specific problems from the Windohs RDA, but I never did get it to work.

On a 9i DB on Linux (RH7.1), I ran into problems with the DB logon, and a couple of other things that we didn't have installed like "procinfo". There is also an attempt to access /etc/networks, which we don't use. Don't know if that's a big deal or not. The file looks like a network alias list.

On 8.1.7 on HP/UX 11.0, RDA hangs during "Processing: Unix Environment", probably while trying to run an awk script.

I've sent feedback to the e-mail listed on Metalink for RDA, but never received a reply. Hmmm...memory's not what it used to be -- I don't recall receiving a reply. :(
