patrice, we have applied this patch to number of 8i (8.1.7 & 8.1.7.4) without adversly affecting the listener (both AIX & Solaris) good luck, steve "Boivin, Patrice J" <BoivinP@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent by: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 09/30/2004 11:20 AM Please respond to BoivinP To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx cc: Subject: Tns listener problems after applying alert68 patches Have any of you run into listener problems after applying the alert68 patches? We ran into connectivity problems for 8i (unix) - lsnrctl start fails - and for as10g infrastructure tier (win32) - cannot connect to infra db - , I am wondering if they could both be due to the patch.
