Yes. when you unzip the cpu, all the patches underneath form their own directories. Those patches look the same as previous cpu's. When I try and search for them individually in metalink, I can't find them to see if maybe they had been updated, hence the generic question to the list. ciao, Brian Brian J. Zelli, Ed.M.

I am not sure which Oracle product you are referring to but I know with E-Business Suite the same patch has been listed in a couple of releases. Which product and OS is it in your case?

Are they the same patches? Can I skip those? ciao, Brian This email message may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
