Computrition, thy name is working.
Well it took us 6 tries, but we finally have a totally together and functioning Oracle 10g server. It’s patched, it’s tweaked – just have backup to setup (there’s currently nothing on it, so no fear).
We learned alot. Primarily, the issue is a bug in the 10.1.0.2 & 10.1.0.4 oracle rdbms software that DOES NOT exist in 10.2.0.*
I don’t know if oracle knows the bug exists – probably nobody cares since R2 (10.2.0.*) is out now, and THAT version doesn’t have this goofy little problem. Interesting. Apparently sometimes progress DOES actually solve things.
Anyway, we’re feeling smart and today we did all the tweaks (successfully I might add) to get the db running ‘our’ way. We got it figure out, but Alex and I (probably just me) owe Bill lunch 🙂
After Karen and I test out the new version of CI (Computrition) on my laptop and all her new stuff is there, we can schedule the migration for everyone over to 15.5
This is one big project that’s coming to a close!
