Yes, test went smoothly. I upgraded and then applied the CPU patches
for Jan2009. Nary a glitch. Of course now I'm afraid of Prod and Dev
because you know it will go horribly wrong.......
ciao,
Brian

Been there. Done that. rehearsals on dev and qa environments from 8i to
9i went perfectly. When we went to production, if it could go wrong it
did. We told the microsoft support guys to disable automatic updates on
pc's involved in the operation. They forgot. PC's were bounced while
running catupgrd. it went down hill from there. An operation that took
less than 4 hours in test and qa took 36 hours in production. Might
have helped if the boss had listened to me when I told him we need to
abort, rollback, and reschedule.

someone who went thru this and can just give me the
freakin cliff notes
on it? I tired to follow the scripts but it keeps
getting confusing.
And remember: this is one of the latest releases.
May your Gods spare you from a full upgrade from
older releases...
But it all runs fine in Powerpoint
