I have downloaded all of the individual files. (We like to patch with files instead of the installers.) I have read the docs in the download. However there is an "extra file" that looks ... well ... important...
specifically /smbu_patches//ars/6.3/patch022/server/solaris/syb_db/arupsyb I this file is only mentioned once in the "Server-ReadMe.doc" as a "file that was updated. No instructions on how to use it, or where to put it. So ... I grabbed the installer for Solaris and looked at the ar_install file. It looks like this is actually a program that is used to "upgrade the DB". So... my question(s) become... Should I do nothing with this file? (What does not happen because of that choice?) Should I apply the files, start the Server and run the arupsyb script manually? (Run it before I apply the files?) FWIW: All DB's appear to have an arup[syb|ora|inf|db2] file. So I really only need to hear from someone who has applied patch 22 via the "By Files" method. I hope that someone out there has manually applied patch 22 to a server and already has an answer for this. If not then I guess I will have to ask Tech Support. -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
