You do not need to run the Oracle Config Manager "live" you can run it disconnected so that it gathers the config information required to get an SR moving and then you can feed in the output.

Since you can gather the information disconnected you are free to look at all this information before you ship it into Oracle.
As long as Oracle support makes up the rules about "necessary" information ... well there's not much we can do if we need them to work on an SR.
You can try going up the support foodchain without supplying it. Received on Wed Mar 03 2010 - 12:23:19 CST
