Yesterday I attempted to upgrade an 8.1.5 prod database to 8.1.6.1, running HP/UX 11.0. The initjvm.sql did not complete successfully - it died on a timeout error. Also, the rmjvm.sql script did not complete successfully, it
died on an exec rmjvm.run(TRUE) error. I spent the entire night on the phone with support, they had no clue. They wanted me to modify the database
with dbassist (pointy-clicky, YUCK) and dbassist didn't run correctly, either. Their answer of course is to install the 8.1.6.2 patch, which must be newly available. We ended up reverting back to 8.1.5 after seven hours of anguish.

I am now going to do a fresh install & export/import upgrade, I don't expect
the upgrade scripts to work after the patch. Has anyone encountered the same type of errors? Or has anyone installed the 8.1.6.2 upgrade for HP/UX?
Comments anyone?
