Hi,
There are no extra requirements for 8.1.7.3 (when you're already compliant for 8.1.7.0).

Regards,
Tom

Hello,

Thank you for a fast reply.

Mr. Clemens van Everdingen
===========================
Quite a few patches mentioned on the links you directed me into. ;)
But i already have 8.1.7.0 and the doc is about 8.1.5. Do you think that i should still apply patches?

There are no extra requirements for 8.1.7.3 (when you're already compliant for 8.1.7.0).

You are perfectly right. Still based on the list of patches i have listed above, do you still believe i should not apply any new patch?

Where do i get this information? Metalink or HP? Please post the shortcut? Thanks

Thank you very much for your time and replies.
Still interested to know what others think too

Hi,

I think you should not directly need to apply any patch.
If you are ready installing oracle, you could use the custom patch manager to check if you need additional patches on your system, or need to install any latetst patches.

But as your system is working fine, I would not recommend agressive patching at all.

This is the link to the page with the custom patch manager on it.
You will need to have a basic software contract with HP to use it.

Hi,
I added the 8.1.7 release notes ... and the verdict is (on first view) not good. It would indeed seem that you're missing some of the basic patches (excuse me for not looking at your patchlist in my earlier reply, I just assumed you were compliant).
It could however be that you've got the patches that replaced those mentioned in this document. I did not look into that.
If not, I would advise to install the patches mentioned in the relaese notes.

Regards,
Tom
