HAS A HOLE IN THE BACK
- VKHACHAD 11/17/94 08:46 am ***
@ part number is: ora-3
@ tried fixing it myself, but I poked my finger with the
needle. I need someone
@ experienced to help me with this.
@ Size of sweater: Medium
@ Color: Red
@ I will be happy with any workaround as long as it has the
Oracle name on it.
@ The sweater is in bug$
@ I'm cold without it, so please hurry.

@ Client received patch, client does not know how to stitch
a crosshatch
@ (as indicated in README). Could development please
provide iron-on.
- EKAARTO 11/21/94 10:23 pm ***
@ Question --
@ Is Oracle-WARE, HardWARE, firmWARE, softWARE, or
underWARE ??
@ depending on where the hole is in the product, the patch
will either be stiched
@ or ironed on patch.

@Are there any traces of a file on the jacket? If there are,
then this is most
@likely caused by incorrect installation of the jacket. Do
not open the package
@using a nail file. User error.
@If no file traces are found, then this should be changed to
a documentation
@bug.
- AMOHAMED 08/16/99 09:19 am ***
@ Is it possible for customer to obtain a plug-in to solve
the current problem?
@ The theory being that a plug-in would make the jacket
compatible with use
@ during winter time and removing the plug-in would make the
jacket compatible
@ during summer time.
@ A possible plug-in would be dependent on the size of the
problem whereby a
@ range of options starting from 1st finger upto whole fist
could be used.
@ Hope this helps towards fixing the bug.
- ETLEWIS 08/25/99 03:20 pm ***
@After many hours of research and testing, I think this bug
can be closed. The
@documentation does not state there should be a "hole" in
the back. The
@documentation does not address holes at all. Turns out
what the client was
@referring to was the "Hole" where the head goes.... Seems
client (who was an
@Oracle Consultant) tried to patch that hole because he was
getting wet when it
@rained.

@would like to add request for oracle fleece-pants with
which to cover our
@backsides over Y2K.
- LCOHN 12/17/99 07:27 am ***
@ I'm concerned as to the Y2K readiness of this issue and to
what
@ technical library I need to link this to in MetaLink.
Surely, the customer
@ needs to know if a hole, or patch or backport is going to
work on
@ January 1 2000. This could turn into a show stopper if
the customer
@ puts this on, and the world has indeed come to an end. My
primary
@ concern is if they are warm enough or is fashion sense
version 01.01.2000
@ being adhered to.
- MMOTZ 12/17/99 07:40 am ***
@This is becoming a showstopper due to precipitate issues at
the
@customer site. Reviewing suitability of ct's business
case, escalation
@pending. Will engage BDE as necessary to address issue.
- MCASALGR 12/17/99 08:19 am ***
@
@ BDE. Cannot escalate. There is no business case
provided.
@ Also reasonable workarounds exist: a. wear another
sweather; b. stay home;
@ c. wear a jacket on top of the sweather; d. use
hum-bra-lla v1.04 with
@ patchset TZWY(rev.3) applied; e. move to Sahara desert

@Customer has changed his support to Gold! A GOSAM will be
provided to
@instruct the customer on how to use the product correctly.
In the meantime, I
@suggest we move to have to have the product upgraded. It
has been open for 5
@years, surely we can just upgrade the jacket instead of
simply patching it.
- DSHELLIT 12/17/99 10:57 am ***
@Was just notified that there is no stock for the upgraded
jacket. Customer
@can not upgrade. The last release of the jacket is the
current one the
@customer has. Patching it through for the Y2K issues is
the only way to keep
@the customer up and running through the next Millenium.
Suggest that if the
@customer wants to upgrade that they move to a suit.

@I also have a very irrate customer, in Finland, with a
similar problem
@but with another Oracle product: OraPants v6.6.6
@Customer has checked OraPants for dump files and for broken
threads,
@but has found nothing of any significance.
@A simple workaround was to emmigrate from Finland to a
warmer climate,
@and therefore was no need for OraPants.
@I don't know if this workaround would work for OracleWare.
@need to get customer to try out.

@Help! One of our Dutch customers used Raw Iron V1.0 with
his OraPants product
@and now experiences lots of holes! OraPants seems to be
beyond repair.
@Can someone indicate how to solve this situation?
- PKRABBEN 01/07/00 10:07 am *** (CHG: Sta->92)
- PKRABBEN 01/07/00 10:07 am ***
@ FYI: the product name Raw Iron was chosen for the analogy
with raw devices
@ on Unix, required when running Oracle in parallel server
mode.
@ Now, when using Raw Iron it is mandatory that you iron the
object, in this
@ case OraPants, from two sides at the same time.
@ This is documented in the Raw Iron Instruction Manual.
- BSCHWARZ 01/12/00 06:39 am ***
@A customer of mine has heard of a new Raw Iron version
called Steam Iron. When
@will this version be available? It's supposed to reduce the
OraPants leak hole
@problem dramatically. Is this true?
- USHET 01/28/00 04:40 am ***
@Ct. wants to escalate the issue. Ct doesn't want to bring
down OraPants to
@apply the sol.
- JXDAVIS 01/28/00 06:54 am ***
@ The number of holes should be reduced if Damp Cloth v2.0
is applied before Raw
@ Iron v1.0.
- SOKHAI 01/28/00 09:40 am ***
@Raw Iron v1.0 is not Y2K compliant. Cust must use Raw Iron
v2.2 or higher.
@This is a workaround because the problem does seem to
re-appear in later
@versions the more it is used.
@.
@This is a priorty 1 for my customer, as he has not applied
any underwear
@patches and is waiting for this problem to be fixed so that
he can upgrade to
@the latest version. He is having a hairy day down under.
@.
@Please help customer is getting impatiant and may go to
other company products.

@ Yeah right, as if they would be more comfortable with
MicroPants...

@ Problem :A customer in Tampa is in need to use his
OraPants to go out for
@ supplies and saw this bug in Metalink.
@ He looked for holes but can't find any.
@ Weather forecast for today says is going to rain.
@ Because Today is Leap Day y2 the customer asks that if he
gets water on his
@ OraPants would that be this same bug or a new Y2k Bug.
@ Please respond quicly because his cat is in need of food
and could die of
@ starvation.

@ It seems we have an NLS Translation Bug. I have a customer
in the UK who
@ purchased OraPants and is currently experiencing a similar
bug. On receiving
@ his latest OraPants he was alarmed to find they had 32"
legs.
@ After further investigation I found out that he was under
the impression that
@ OraPants were infact the much acclaimed OraUNDERWEAR! (or
OraBoxers).
@ Requesting NLS Translation to update product description
to avoid similar
@ mistakes.
- RFDAVIS 03/04/00 10:17 pm ***
@With OraPants ver 10 there is a utility called zipper 4.5.
If the hole is in
@the front only...the standard Oracle functionality is to
winzip it up....if
@customer would like to restore from a zipup he can PKUNZIP
it. If ct is not
@ sure what the flag has been set to, have them do the
following:
@Select zipper
@from zipper_OraPants
@where zipper = up
@ .
@ .
@There is a Minipack 10.1.newzipper.G but I believe it needs
to be ported for
@OraWear. If the Hole is in the back have the ct do the
following:
@ .
@select New_Pants
@from K_Mart
@where Blue_Light_Special = yes
@ .
- MWALLENK 05/05/00 03:35 am ***
@ I had a customer with a similar problem, he discovered the
hole in the back of
@ his OraPants.
@ After careful investigation from support we discovered
that customer had
@ installed the product incorrectly, maybe the installation
procedure isn't
@ documented customer-proof. Uninstalling OraPants, turning
for 180 degrees and
@ reinstalling solved the problem and made a customer happy.

@ I also had an extremely unhappy customer in the UK who
purchased OraPants.
@ He had to call in a P1 as his OraPants had NO HOLE in them
!
@ Unfortunately we couldn't offer him a quick workaround
before the pants
@ were saturated !
@ I'm told he has now installed a new product called SAP
Siphon to remove
@ the fluids and he will not be purchasing OraPants again !!
- GTHORLAK 06/29/00 08:33 am ***
@ Per Mr Ellison, "the internet changes
everything".....please have the client
@ contact client relations to get a copy of Pants v501i
(This is totally y2k
@ compliant. To confirm this check the zipper for the YKK
logo) Sweater8i and
@ Jacket11i. Prior to upgrade client will have to make sure
they install a fresh
@ version of underwear6.0 to insure we have a clean instance
to run the
@ Sweater,Jacket, and Pants. All of these can be run on the
same server but the
@ sweater and jacket must be run on the same partition,
whereas the pants must
@ be run in dedicted area with a direct path to underwear
defined.
@ .
@ With this upgrade the client will no longer have to leave
the house so a hood
@ will not be needed, and the individual with the starving
cat can use SSP5 to
@ order food/litter/cat toys from pets.com

@ GSAM (for Great Modeling Agency)
@ =====================================
@ .
@ As the GSAM for this account, I'm surprised that this BUG
is still being
@ worked on after 6 years. The client (Great Modeling
Agency) went out of
@ business 5 years ago, because the models got so thin that
they slipped through
@ the holes in their OracleWare and were promptly arrested
for indecent
@ exposure. (As you may know, models do not install
OracleUnderWare since it
@ does not run on a thin client.)
@ .
- JENNOR2 07/11/00 03:14 pm ***
@ The modeling agency that's bust was in the OraWear with
many others.
@ Some of the other customers are unhappy that no upgrades
to OraWear are
@ forthcoming, saying that the Internet should have changed
everything by now.
@ Could we develop an InterNet patch (like Velcro?) to solve
the hole problem?
- RXKRISHN 02/23/01 08:51 am ***
.
.
@The reason for the hole is finally apparent ... Turns out
that plans for the
@NC was laid out a while back, and now that the market is
mature, we can use
@this hole to build in a network interconnect. Hence the
opening. It is
@actually planned functionality as an API. This is not a
bug, and there is no
@need to reproduce it. This is indeed intended
functionality, just not in this
@the version of the product.
.
.
@The opening was intended was several purposes, but right
now it is being
@debated if it should be used as an iConnect portal or if it
should be
@used as a worm hole for interfacing to other heterogeneous
services.
@Currently this is being reviewed for inclusion in the
Messaging framework
@by the Transparent Gateway Group, the Oracle Message Broker
Group and
@the Java Messaging Group. The problem with the original NC
connect proposal
@was that the market was never really ready for the
technology, which is
@obvious from the fact that someone actually logged this bug
!!!

@Customer EX LAX is reporting a similar hot ISSUE.
@Requesting we reopen the bug.
@I thought this bug had been resolved !!!!
@Why have you closed the bug if the initial customer
@is reporting that they are not RUNNING smoothly?
- BOVARGHE 02/14/02 11:08 am ***
@ Had a customer reporting a very similar problem.
@ The only difference in his case is that the hole is in
front of the jacket and
@ not the back.
@ Explained to him that this was our 'Valentine's special'
collection, which had
@ holes positioned in front of the heart, especially for
cusotmers who have lost
@ their hearts. The hole was deliberately provided to ease
the process of
@ putting your heart back in place, once you have found it.
@ The customer said that he would first need to lose his
heart to find it.
@ However he seemed convinced with the explaination and is
fine with the hole in
@ the front.
- AOLGREN 03/04/02 12:54 pm ***
@ Support has tested and replicated the issue for OraWear
products. It is
@ supports determination that upgrading Orawear resolves
most of existing bugs.
@ If clients have not experienced the stated bugs listed
here, they can update
@ storage devices to cedar version to prolong life.
@ .
@ When upgrading, as mentioned before, all modules will need
to be updated at
@ the same time to the latest versions. A new bug should be
logged for any
@ issues that arise from the upgrade.
