Patch Installation issue !

titu — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:20:40 GMT

Hello all ,

I have installed one patch in my system PHCO_38918 but some of the fileset are corrupt.

Please suggest should I reinstall this patch with this reinstall=true and autoreboot=false option.

Thanks in advance.

Shalom,

No, I do not recommend this.

swremove the patch

swinstall it anew.

I, on the other hand, feel that reinstalling would be the way to go. The only reservation is that some "line in the sand" patches can make a mess of your system if re-installed, but you should be able to discern from the patch notes whether this is the case or not.

Hi Titu:

We just had this discussion a few days ago here:

Pete summarizes it aptly. As for downloading again, this shouldn't matter. The analysis phase of the 'swinstall' session should handle the detection and rejection of any checksum errors, etc.

I suggest that you read the aforementioned thread, particularly the note by Bob Campbell.

Regards!

Hi,

You can reinstall this patch with reinstall=true option its a Command Cumulative Patch
I suggest you that re-download the fresh patch and then go for install.
