CP5 for 10.1.2.3 released

Just wanted to let you know that Oracle has just released CP5 for 10.1.2.3. You will find it on MetaLink as patch number 8354043. When compared to CP4, 28 bugs have been fixed.

So far this cumulative patch has been released for the following platforms:

Micrpsoft Windows 32-bit
Linux x86 (works for both 32 bit and 64 bit)
Sun Solaris SPARC (32-bit)

If you are upgrading to CP5 from any patch level other than CP4 then JDBC patch patch p4398431_10105_GENERIC.zip for bug 4398431(release 10.1.0.5) needs to be installed before you apply CP5.

This patch needs to be applied to all Oracle Homes, i.e. Infrastructure home as well as all related midtier homes.

Anonymous said...: Hi

I am using Oracle9i Discoverer Desktop - version 9.0.2.0.0.

I am trying to create 2 parameters for a report that I have created by selecting a EUL folder.

Parameter 1: set to today's date whenever the report is run.

Parameter 2: set the parameter to the current instance of the database being used.

Is there a way of doing this from the desktop side?

Thanks; 11:24 PM
