No STAR_TRANSFORMATION hint after patch upgrading

Question

Hello! After upgrading patches
SAPKA64016 -> SAPKA64019
SAPKB64016 -> SAPKB64019
SAPKIPYJ66 -> SAPKIPYJ69
SAPKW35016 -> SAPKW35019
we have problems with STAR_TRANSFORMATION hint. For example, in this SQL query we've got no STAR_TRANSFORMATION, and have greate problems with performance.
SELECT   /*+ FACT( T_00 )  */
         t_01."SID_0CALDAY" "S____012", t_02."SID_X_CLSACT" "S____635",
         t_03."SID_X_NPACC" "S____997", t_04."SID_X_CODEAC" "S____1866",
         t_05."SID_X_SSTATUS" "S____1873", COUNT (*) "1ROWCOUNT"
    FROM "/BIC/FX_CARDS02" t_00,
         "/BIC/DX_CARDS02T" t_01,
         "/BIC/DX_CARDS029" t_02,
         "/BIC/DX_CARDS022" t_03,
         "/BIC/DX_CARDS028" t_04,
         "/BIC/DX_CARDS025" t_05,
         "/BIC/DX_CARDS02P" t_06
   WHERE (t_00."KEY_X_CARDS02T" = t_01."DIMID")
     AND (t_00."KEY_X_CARDS029" = t_02."DIMID")
     AND (t_00."KEY_X_CARDS022" = t_03."DIMID")
     AND (t_00."KEY_X_CARDS028" = t_04."DIMID")
     AND (t_00."KEY_X_CARDS025" = t_05."DIMID")
     AND (t_00."KEY_X_CARDS02P" = t_06."DIMID")
     AND t_06."SID_0RECORDTP" = 0
     AND t_06."SID_0REQUID" <= 22090
GROUP BY t_01."SID_0CALDAY",
         t_02."SID_X_CLSACT",
         t_03."SID_X_NPACC",
         t_04."SID_X_CODEAC",
         t_05."SID_X_SSTATUS"

Hi,
sorry didn't see it before... it looks good.
[hope you aren't deactivating the optimizer in RSRT...]
Do you have your parameter maintained in the INIT<SID>.ORA file?
Are you using this file by the way or a server file to apply the ORA paramters (check this with your ORADBA group)?
Verify the optimizer parameters; this is what I have if it can help...:
OPTIMIZER_FEATURES_ENABLE                   9.2.0  
OPTIMIZER_MAX_PERMUTATIONS                  2000   
OPTIMIZER_MODE                              choose 
_OPTIMIZER_JOIN_SEL_SANITY_CHECK            true   
_OPTIMIZER_OR_EXPANSION                     DEPTH  
hope this helps...
Olivier.
