[Fwd: Re: patch question]

Thanks, Joe,

I read the notes. It seems can go either way. I reinstalled the 817 base again. My next question puzzled me, should I upgrade database first 816-> 817, then apply the patch, or apply patch goes first? Maybe it goes either way. But I'd like to hear some advice first.

Joan

 Joan, check out the release notes for aix patches, if i remember correctly: 8.1.7.0 -> 8.1.7.18.1.7.0 -> 8.1.7.2 8.1.7.1 -> 8.1.7.0 -> 8.1.7.2 to go from 8171 to 8172, i think you have to reinstall 8.1.7.0, run all scripts, then apply patch and run scripts again. joe

Hi Listers,

I am asking a simple question today. We have 8.1.6 production database and want to upgrade to 8.1.7.2 on AIX R/6000.

1. I installed 8.1.7 on production already. Can I install 8.1.7.2 patch direct on top of 8.1.7 or have to go 8.1.7.1 first?
2. Installed patch first, then upgrade database later or upgrade database from 8.1.6 to 8.1.7 then installed patch later?

Thanks,

Joan
