RE: adpatch question

Bambi,

I wouldn't touch *anything* under the hood as far as Apps goes, esp. 11i. Raise a TAR and let Oracle Support come back to you on this. I assume that you are testing the upgrade and not actually doing it. These sort of things should have been ironed out prior to the upgrade with lots of iterations on lots of clones. A 11i upgrade is NOT for the faint of heart.

Sorry - but that's what I would recommend!
