Re: Patch #2189751 (8.1.7.3) questions

Word of warning to the group. If you run Java and XML be very careful as this is a particularly ugly patch. As with all previous 8.1.7 patches the read me and installation instructions are incomplete and there are required steps missing..

I strongly recommend you consult with Oracle support before applying this patch to verify if the issues are relevant to your installation.

John
