CP10 for Discoverer 10.1.2.3

Just wanted to let you know that on April 18, 2011, Oracle has released CP10 for 10.1.2.3. You will find it on MetaLink as patch number 11674847. When compared to CP9, 10 bugs have been fixed.

Note: when you download the readme from MyOracle, from CP9 Oracle has placed the new bug fixes at the top of the list.

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

IBM AIX on POWER systems (64-bit)
Linux x86
Microsoft Windows 32-bit
Oracle Solaris on SPARC (64-bit)

If you are upgrading to CP10 from any patch level prior to 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.

Note: please take a look at the comments posted below and if anyone has any experience of CP10, good or bad, please let me know.

I did notice that someone has posted an issue with CP10 and needed to roll back to CP9

"According to the last discussion with the BDE team, a few NLS (locale Japanese) problems are preventing the final release of CP10."

And a bit of detail on persisting we needed to use it;
"
1. Plus is always geting launched in English irrespective of localy (Japanese) chosen
2. Excel export hangs when a workbook name has a leading spaces
"

hope this helps others.; 8:14 AM
