The obvious one would be "More Oracle....<fill in the blank>".
Sorry about this in advance... just getting very frustrated. If we go down, we
pay a fine.

Just as a wild shot in the dark, and after reading about several people losing
access to SRs submitted by them, it looks to me like they are having problems
with the way they are linking MOS sign-ons to email addresses. Considering
that they were requiring the SSO email address, I think this agrees with what
we already know. You have to wonder why they didn't do some testing prior to
the day of conversion...Or even have some sort of mass update to fill in the
missing information when the day came..

It seems in our organization metalink is used to show management that they’re
working with oracle to have oracle fix the problem rather than trying to
troubleshoot and fix the problem themselves. I’ve only opened up a handful of
tars in 10 years. It’s not a badge of honor, we have a good crew who don’t
believe their code is carved in stone. If we run into a bug we fix it. We tend
to try to keep the code nice and simple because we all know how much fun it
would be to file a bux fix request.

I tend to agree with you on this point. I'm one the admins for our CSI, so I
can see the SR's various people in our organization submit. Quite a few of them
even a novice DBA or Developer could easily figure out, but our organization is
so disorganized there is no tru collaboration or placing of the best person in
the job (this is government work). I might file a couple SR's each year, but
most of my 'Support" (Metalink, et al), is merely researching or finding
patches.
