Hi All,

Under Aix 5.2, Oracle 9.2.0.4.0 (local database), we've used the manual copy 
method to install ARServer 6.3 Patch 21.  We are using a script to execute 
this, so the manual install has been identical on all three servers.  This 
worked fine on DEV and QC.  On PROD, we see the following lines echoed to CON 
when trying to run "arsystem start" after the patch has been applied:
         (ARNOTE 0)
           Server indicates that it's up.

         (ARNOTE 0)
           Server (pid:18403474) died with 0.

        Tried 4 restarts in 30 seconds. I give up...

The pid varies, and the ARError.Log does not indicate why the Server dies.  9 
out of 10 times, it is actually dead.  The other 1 of 10 restarts, the CON 
indicates it's death, but it's still running, and able to be connected to by 
clients.

If the patch is backed out, the previous unpatched 6.3 works fine.

We've patched and unpatched this several times, with the same results.

Our Unix Admins and DBAs have verified that the JDKs, DB, and OS are all 
patched to the same levels no all three servers.

We've compared the files paths, sizes, permissions, and ownerships of the 
patched files on all three servers and they match.  We've also compared the 
ar.conf, armonitor.conf, etc...

We initially thought this may be an issue with TSM, as we backup the file 
system on PROD, but not DEV or QC.  We had Production Control kill off the 
backups, and tried it again.  Same results.

If anyone has any thoughts on this, we'd much appreciate them.

Eric Cleereman
