Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Opatch rant
I talked to oracle after applying a one-off patch recommended by oracle to 9.0.2.3 of the app server
I was told oracle does not do regression testing of one-off patches
Anyone else here that. I must have missed that in the rls docs and readme. I do not remember seeing it there. You would think it would be in big bold letters on the readme

Subject: Opatch rant
Wanna see something interesting with opatch? *nix: perl -cw $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch.pl
Windoze: perl -cw %ORACLE_HOME%\opatch\opatch.pl
Anyone else have trouble with opatch and Perl 5.8.3?
Windows 2003
Perl 5.8.3
Opatch 1.0....52
Opatch either exits with an error code that is a very long negative number, or just spits out its copyright information and quits.
Interestingly, installing Perl 5.0.00503 in OH/Apache cures the problem, as the opatch.bat script will find it there and it runs happily.
5.8.3 seems to work fine on a Win2K box with the same version of opatch.
