Just reply NONE to all other questions after opatch gets your email ID. I'ts listed as one of the valid replies and stops it in its tracks.

That's what opatch 11.2.0.3 was released for: to "force" us to use the freaking thing.
Guess what? It ain't happenning.

When it sends the physical address of our network card to Oracle? In their dreams, it'll ever be allowed in our site!
There is absolutely nothing that justifies its use and if Oracle in future forces us to use it to get PSUs or other patches loaded, we have EVERY right to sue them for breach of contract and attempted security break-in.
And before I get the usual crap hate replies: it's not MY imposition you morons, it's our auditor's!!!! Go talk to them instead of attacking me! For once: direct your "anger" at the right target! Received on Sun Jul 22 2012 - 06:12:44 CDT
