Fabrizio,

Plan on identifying issues in your test upgrades in your test environment, opening iTARs as necessary and waiting for fixes. We've hit 4 different errors upgrading from 9.2. to 10.1 - some had workarounds, some didn't. Your schedule should be appropriately unaggressive.

I'm not saying that 10.1.0.4 <http://10.1.0.4> is buggy. I'm saying that upgrading from 9.2.0.5.x or 9.2.0.6 <http://9.2.0.6> to 10.1.0.4 <http://10.1.0.4> is less than perfect. (lets just say that its not a state function - its path dependent and there be dragons along that path).

exp/imp into a clean db if you can.
