Which version to use: 8.1.7.3 or 8.1.6.2 ??

What is the recommended version for production level databases 8.1.6.2 or 8.1.7.3 ??
We have a enterprise DB systems running on Solaris 7 and Solaris 8 (SPARC) with lots of JDBC interfaces.
Any pointers ??

the most current release for either 8.1.6 or 8.1.7 is recommended to maximixe bug fixes so you don't "rediscover" them.
First, install the base version (8.1.6.0 or 8.1.7.0)and immediately go to the metalink web site to download the rdbms patchset to get the rdbms as current as possible.
the metalink web site is :
(http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_gui.startup)
Also 8.1.7 has more features and bug fixes than any 8.1.6 version.
some of the new java related 8.1.7 features include :
1) an apache jserv front end with the oracle jsp engine in it. it supports servlets 2.0 and jsp 1.1 code.
2) an oracle servlet engine inside the jvm which supports servlets 2.2 and jsp 1.1
3) the ejb 1.1 spec requiring entity beans be supported while rdbms 816 supports ejb 1.0 spec which only required session beans to be supported.
4) also i recall seeing that the terminal version 8.1.7 will be supported for a much longer time period than an intermediate version like 8.1.6 - so you might delay another rdbms migration by using 8.1.7 now.
while downloading the patchset for your rdbms, you might want to check the metalink "product lifecycle" section for when 8.1.6 goes out of support for your o/s platform.
I believe that rdbms patchset 8.1.7.1 is starting to become available and that rdbms patchset 8.1.6.2 or maybe 8.1.6.3 may be available. (i work mainly with 8.1.7 so i'm not sure about 8.1.6.x)
However, the current patchset version definitely depends on your o/s platform and can be accessed at the metalink web site referred to above.
i hope this helps ...

  • What has happened to my Firefox? No matter which version I use, from 3.0.1 to current, it has become a nightmare to use. Is it me? Or does Firefox now suck as a browser?

    I once thought that nothing compared to Firefox. I hated IE8 and still hate and curse Microsoft. But now, no matter which version I install of Firefox I found myself calling the same names I call IE8. I have currently uninstalled Firefox. And have gone back to Chrome. Firefox is performing that poorly, crash after crash, hang after hang. Just drives me nuts. Can't handle it anymore. If you know how to fix it, I will reinstall it. Otherwise, I may have uninstalled Firefox for the last time.

    Firefox 6 should run well on Windows 7, but in some cases old settings become corrupted during an upgrade. Whether you choose version 6.0.2 or 3.6.22, try starting up to the Profile Manager and create a new blank profile. Then import your old bookmarks and see whether the browser works correctly. If so, you can rebuild your collection of add-ons and re-apply settings. If not, perhaps something else on your PC is interfering with Firefox (or the web sites you visit are unusually challenging).

    Read "Your First Cup of Java":
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/cupojava/
    It will show you how to get everything installed correctly and how to run your first program.
    At some point you will run into problems trying to set your "classpath", so bookmark this:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/win32/classpath.html
    Good luck. Getting everything setup on your pc correctly and learning how to compile and execute programs is a big barrier to entry with Java.

  • RDF - Which version was it created in?

    Is there any way of telling which version of report builder a particular RDF was created in?
    I am using 6i Reports and when I open a particular module, I get the 'REP-20129' error (Warning: Opening a report saved with a newer version of Report Builder. Functionality may be lost. Continue?).
    I can open the module in 9.0.4 and 10g but would like to know for sure which version was used.

    I get the same error, though I don't remember "upgrading". How can we get the version that the RDF file was generated by?

  • How to Specify Which Version of Rsync on Server Side

    I have installed rsync 3.0.6 on both client and server side and know how to specify which version to use on the client side but am I right in assuming that if I don't specify some how on the server side it will use the version stored in /usr/bin/rsync?

  • Which adobe to use, I was told to down load the newer version and the add/remove folder says I have 10.1.82.76, is tehis the one I need?

    The latest update from Firefox said I HAD to update Adobe or there would be a security problem. I replied to the answer about the edit bar, but have not received a reply:
    This is what I wrote:
    Thank you for helping me. I had no idea how to do that. Now if you can tell me about the adobe issue I would so appreciate it. I do use Firefox and I went to add/remove to see which version and could not find the Adobe 10.1.82.76 it said I had??? Then I just went back and it is there. I was told I HAD to update the Adobe because of a security issue, but when I went to add it, it said warning the program I was about to add might be dangerous????? So I have it on the down load thing, I have not told it to run, but it shows up in my add/remove folder and I am SO confused??? Do I need to run it? I went to the adobe site and found it when I could not find the "edit" button. I am not sure if I have the right version. It said certain versions would not run with Firefox and I do not want to mess up my computer.
    Please advise

    I have my personal music (not purchased from Itunes) stored in two locations, on my PC and on an external HD. How can I find out which directory itunes uses to access this music? I am using Itunes version 11.4.0.18. Thanks

    Many thanks JEM24 for your help.  Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone  the actual cost of each additional  gigabyte of storage  to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.

  • Which version of iPhoto should I use?

    When I picked up my repaired MacBook (Intel Core Duo) the person at the Apple Store showed me how to restore all of its data using my Time Machine backup.  He told me that during the repair they had installed Snow Leopard.  He had forgotten that I had told him when the MacBook first died we were told it was not worth repairing and we purchased a new MacBook Pro running Lion.  The TM backup was from that machine.  The intent was to have two machines with the same Apps & data so each of two users could take either machine and go forward from that point.  Each machine would then have its own TM Backup.
    After many discussions with tech support, almost everything except iPhoto (and incoming Apple Mail) on the MacBook works OK.  That's probably because during the restore, iPhoto 9.1.5 was installed.  It does not open because of a Frameworks conflict of some sort.  Earlier versions of iPhoto say the Library was created with a newer version.  (I temporarily moved the iPhoto Library out of my User>Pictures Folder, opened iPhoto 7.x and imported some photo's to create a new Library.  That worked.  My original Library is 35 GB so each attempt to fix anything in it has been time consuming.  That's why I'm asking the real experts.
    I've seen a suggestion from Terrance Devlin to "rebuild" the Library using the iPhoto Library Manager and others by Terrance, Neil, Old Toad, and Kappy to drag a different version of Frameworks into System>Library>?  (Apparently, some OS X 10.7 support files were loaded onto the MacBook.)  Which ones and which version?
    Which version of iPhoto should I use on the MacBook?  Which version does OS X 10.6.8 support?  Eventually, we'd also like to merge some of the individual Libraries into a shared Library.  Is iPhoto Library Manager the best way to do that?  (Speaking of that, I understand Apple does not support backup of non-Lion Mac's via Wi-Fi, except if using Time Capsule.  Seagate sells an external 2 TB Hard Drive that connects via ethernet to your Router, for that purpose.  Does it work well?)

    Terence,
    Below is a copy of the Problem Report I get after I double click the iPhoto (9.1.5) icon in my Applications folder.  Both iPhoto 6 and iPhoto 7 open but cannot read my iPhoto Library that was restored from a Lion TM backup.  I tried moving my iPhoto Library out of the Pictures folder and was able to create a new one using iPhoto 7.1.5.
    Inside of System>Library, there are two copies of the following folders:
    Frameworks
    PodcastProducer
    Keychains
    Java
    In each case, the name of the second folder includes "(from old Mac)" without the quotes after the folder name.  I believe my issue is being caused by the System using Frameworks instead of Frameworks (from old Mac), but I have not been able to switch them easily and, as you said, do not want to do serious damage.
    The only other thing that does not work properly is incoming IMAP mail via AOL and Google.  Outgoing works on those two plus Incoming and Outgoing work on the Verizon POP account.

    We are facing issue to open a static form PDF in Chrome Browser
    , which is loaded using Adobe FormService.
    Able to open in other browsers but not able to open the static
    forms in chrome with LC 11.0 version
    Below error message:
    The document you are trying to load
    requires Adobe Reader 8 or higher. You may not have the Adobe Reader installed
    or your viewing environment may not be properly configured to use Adobe Reader.
    For information on how to install Adobe Reader and configure your viewing

    Please let us know do we have any option for disabling
    <NoXFA/> tag by calling formService. RenderPDF() method on adobe service
    For dynamic forms its working by adding <NOXFA/> in

    assembler service for this forms.
    Please let us know how we can disable XFA in static forms??????????????????

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • How can I know which version of Firefox I'm using?

    I tried to download an EOB from my insurance company's website, and it won't allow me to view the EOB. I talked to their web support and was told that I have to use the same version of Firefox that they support, which is Firefox 26 or 27. I don't know how to find out which version I am using. If I am not using their version of Firefox (26 or 27), how can I download that version. I don't know which version is on my PC now and I don't know how to find it on Firefox. Thank you
    I just tried installing below this box on Troubleshooting Information, and Firefox would not allow me to install. What is going on?

    Is the EOB a PDF document?
    Firefox updates every 6 weeks and the current version is 31.0. Rolling back almost 6 months is not recommended for security reasons. If that's their best answer, I suggest we either figure out a workaround for getting the document, or you just use a different browser for their site.
