EM has had a bunch of rework in 11.1 and with 11.2 being just around the corner ( Sept 1st or shortly thereafter ) I am sure that it has had even more fixes.
My experiences with 10.2.x on hpux EM were very mixed. Lots of problems and bugs with stuff that Oracle would admit were problems on hpux but just didn't get fixed.
On linux both the 10.2 and 11 experiences are much improved in EM at least from what I have seen. Received on Fri Jun 26 2009 - 12:21:17 CDT
