Subject: Oracle 8.1.7?
Oracle 8.1.7 is currently only available for download from =
technet.oracle.com, to those unfortunate enough to
have Sun instead of HP hardware.
I've upgraded two databases to 8.1.7 so far, and despite its =
installing and starting up Apache, am impressed with it.
There seem to be a lot of bugs fixed in 8.1.7 than are not listed in =
the release notes and read me. At least the bugs
I reported against 8.1.6 all appear fixed so far. Even the =
v$session_longops view has fewer apparantly corrupt sys entries.
So far the only problem I've encountered with 8.1.7 is that the =
intelligent agent discovers Apache as a service and lists it
as such in services.ora. OEM 1.6 does not mind and is happy to =
discover 8.1.7 with the Apache service. OEM 2.1, however,
can't handle the Apache service and errors when attempting to discover =
8.1.7.
I'd love to hear of anybody else's experiences with 8.1.7, as I'm =
planning to upgrade yet another reporting database to it next
weekend. =20
