RE: hrs to run catpatch.sql

I have been testing the Oracle 9.2.0.4 patch on HP/UX dev box and have a open TAR.

I ran into a bunch of problems relinking after applying the 9.2.0.4 patch on HP/UX.

Oracle had me run RDA and gave me a list of missing OS patches, I still had the same errors they had me run RDA again and gave me another list of OS patches...finally escalated the issue and got some help getting the relink done but now...
The catpatch.sql exits sqlplus or the connection would get broken. And the script would continue running saying, NOT CONNECTED TO ORACLE.....a gazillion times...So its a mess right now. And SMON generates ORA-600's every five minutes until it shuts the intance down. With Arguemt [51] that is unpublished at this time and the stack trace offers zero info....and Oracle is suddenly very quiet in my TAR...

Make sure you test that patch COMPLETELY before doing anything to a production server....

I am probably going to unistall the whole mess and start over....

This has been the most problematic patch that I have seen....(I suppose I was due)
