So I'm deploying the CPU2005july patchset (10.1.0.4 patch 3) on an internal system running w2k3 server. Everything goes well with opatch and I get to the section where java classes need to be loaded. I execute the loadjava routine ... and nothing is returned. Am I spoiled to think that a return code of "0" is too much to ask for? I'd also settle for "Statement processed." or "yep - got it" or even "ok". crossing my fingers thinking wishfully ... Paul -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
