For Solaris 32-bit, there are 2 patches to be applied (3811887 and 3835963). Note says: # - Your system configuration (Oracle Server version and patch # level, OS Version) must exactly match those in the bug # database entry - You must have NO OTHER PATCHES installed on # your Oracle Server since the latest patch set (or base release # x.y.z if you have no patch sets installed). So as soon as you apply the 3835963 patch, you've violated the condition of applying your patch. I think it's a catch-22 Barb --- Ron Rogers wrote: > Dwayne, > Read the README file that is associated with the > patch.
