That might be the answer.... I'm going to open another separate ticket. It failed verification based on failure to replace one file. -----Original Message----- From: Mercadante, Thomas F (LABOR) [mailto:Thomas.Mercadante@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, May 12, 2006 8:03 AM To: dofreeman@xxxxxxxxxxx; oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: April Security Patches on Windows 2003 Don, I applied the patch to AIX/9.2.0.7 with no problems other than making sure to: export OPATCH_SKIP_VERIFY=TRUE This skips the patch verification step (last step). Doesn't work on AIX. And Oracle support said to skip it.

We've tried them twice on two different servers and the each install fails with different errors. We've opened up a ticket but aren't making much progress. It feels like Oracle is kind of winging it. By the time we get this solved, if we do, it will be time for the June patches. Don Freeman Database Administrator 1 Bureau of Information Technology Pennsylvania Department of Health (717) 703-5782
