Hi all,

Thanks in advance for reading and any posts.

We have just recently upgraded/patched our way to 11.5.10 on Oracle
Financials with a 10g database on the background. Anyhow I was
wondering if anyone knows of a quick way to work out if there are any
new family packs / large patches that need applying which doesn't
require me to scower metalink.

Thanks in again for reading and any help,

B14,,, aka Marky mark...

I am not sure what "to scower" is but Oracle support ( and metalink the
online support area ) is how you work with oracle.

If you don't want to use the web then you can make a phone call.

Hi,

Sorry for being cryptic, am having a slow day. What I meant was, is
there a software way something we could run that would tell us what
patches are available for your system rather than manually working what
patches we have on our boxes and then searching metalink to see what
there is available, since this can be very time consuming.

I hope that makes sense,

thanks,

B14... aka... Marky Mark...

1. Please do not top post. Be courteous and scroll to the bottom before
replying.

2. The Grid Control does this.

My appologies, I am not used to a forum working in this way. I
normally work with Tech tips and the likes.

Thanks for the reply,

Leaving out that Grid Control is an extra cost item.
