Could development please provide iron-on. *** EKAARTO 11/21/94 10:23 pm *** @ Question -- @ Is Oracle-WARE, HardWARE, firmWARE, softWARE, or underWARE ?? @ depending on where the hole is in the product, the patch will either be stiched @ or ironed on patch. *** PGREENWA 11/22/94 10:32 am *** (CHG: Sta->32) *** PGREENWA 11/22/94 10:32 am *** @ Sorry, iron-on is currently not a supported feature. Please file an @ enhancement request. *** VKHACHAD 11/28/94 09:58 am *** (CHG: Sta->92) *** SPILLAI 12/01/94 10:45 am *** @Since no one can "close" this bug @ This is not a bug but a feature. It was used in the wrong "environment". It is @ to be used in summer when it would let the air in and keep your body cool. *** BUG 05/01/95 10:56 am *** (CHG: Prod->510) *** BUG 05/01/95 01:51 pm *** (CHG: Prod->5) *** DSHELLIT 12/23/97 02:07 pm *** @ This can not be backported. Only applicable to current releases. *** DHAYTER 06/11/99 07:40 am *** @ Surely this bug was filed under the wrong port. @ JACKET was only ever available on Alpha - along with TIE and VEST @ (check it out!) *** GHAYDEN 06/11/99 08:03 am *** @ To add a cautionary note... if ironed on patch does become supported, @ remember to REMORACLEWARE prior to applying patch. *** HBERGH 07/02/99 03:12 pm *** (CHG: Sta->30) *** HBERGH 07/02/99 03:12 pm *** (CHG: Confirmed Flag->N) *** HBERGH 07/02/99 03:12 pm *** @Are there any traces of a file on the jacket? If there are, then this is most @likely caused by incorrect installation of the jacket. Do not open the package @using a nail file. User error. @If no file traces are found, then this should be changed to a documentation @bug. *** AMOHAMED 08/16/99 09:19 am *** @ Is it possible for customer to obtain a plug-in to solve the current problem? @ The theory being that a plug-in would make the jacket compatible with use @ during winter time and removing the plug-in would make the jacket compatible @ during summer time. @ A possible plug-in would be dependent on the size of the problem whereby a @ range of options starting from 1st finger upto whole fist could be used. @ Hope this helps towards fixing the bug. *** ETLEWIS 08/25/99 03:20 pm *** @After many hours of research and testing, I think this bug can be closed. The @documentation does not state there should be a "hole" in the back. The @documentation does not address holes at all. Turns out what the client was @referring to was the "Hole" where the head goes.... Seems client (who was an @Oracle Consultant) tried to patch that hole because he was getting wet when it @rained. @. @Some people don't know enough to come in out of the rain... *** ETLEWIS 08/25/99 03:20 pm *** (CHG: Sta->11) *** ALAKSHMI 08/25/99 04:28 pm *** (CHG: Sta->92) *** RBUSK 12/17/99 06:37 am *** @would like to add request for oracle fleece-pants with which to cover our @backsides over Y2K. *** LCOHN 12/17/99 07:27 am *** @ I'm concerned as to the Y2K readiness of this issue and to what @ technical library I need to link this to in MetaLink. Surely, the customer @ needs to know if a hole, or patch or backport is going to work on @ January 1 2000. This could turn into a show stopper if the customer @ puts this on, and the world has indeed come to an end. My primary @ concern is if they are warm enough or is fashion sense version 01.01.2000 @ being adhered to. *** MMOTZ 12/17/99 07:40 am *** @This is becoming a showstopper due to precipitate issues at the @customer site. Reviewing suitability of ct's business case, escalation @pending. Will engage BDE as necessary to address issue. *** MCASALGR 12/17/99 08:19 am *** @ @ BDE. Cannot escalate. There is no business case provided. @ Also reasonable workarounds exist: a. wear another sweather; b. stay home; @ c. wear a jacket on top of the sweather; d. use hum-bra-lla v1.04 with @ patchset TZWY(rev.3) applied; e. move to Sahara desert @ *** MJRODRIG 12/17/99 08:47 am *** @Customer has changed his support to Gold! A GOSAM will be provided to @instruct the customer on how to use the product correctly. In the meantime, I @suggest we move to have to have the product upgraded. It has been open for 5 @years, surely we can just upgrade the jacket instead of simply patching it. *** DSHELLIT 12/17/99 10:57 am *** @Was just notified that there is no stock for the upgraded jacket. Customer @can not upgrade. The last release of the jacket is the current one the @customer has. Patching it through for the Y2K issues is the only way to keep @the customer up and running through the next Millenium. Suggest that if the @customer wants to upgrade that they move to a suit. *** ASUARDI 01/03/00 08:42 am *** (CHG: Sta->44) *** ASUARDI 01/03/00 08:42 am *** @ I actually peeked at the sweater in bug$ and the hole (after 5 years) looks @ broken beyond any hope of patching it. Setting to status 44, which seems @ the most appropriate here. *** ASULEMAN 01/05/00 06:55 am *** (CHG: Sta->35) *** ASULEMAN 01/05/00 06:55 am *** (CHG: Fixed->6.6.6) *** ASULEMAN 01/05/00 06:55 am *** @I also have a very irrate customer, in Finland, with a similar problem @but with another Oracle product: OraPants v6.6.6 @Customer has checked OraPants for dump files and for broken threads, @but has found nothing of any significance. @A simple workaround was to emmigrate from Finland to a warmer climate, @and therefore was no need for OraPants. @I don't know if this workaround would work for OracleWare. @need to get customer to try out. @setting status to 35. *** MVERHEIJ 01/07/00 05:14 am *** (CHG: Sta->11) *** MVERHEIJ 01/07/00 05:14 am *** @Help! One of our Dutch customers used Raw Iron V1.0 with his OraPants product @and now experiences lots of holes! OraPants seems to be beyond repair. @Can someone indicate how to solve this situation? *** PKRABBEN 01/07/00 10:07 am *** (CHG: Sta->92) *** PKRABBEN 01/07/00 10:07 am *** @ FYI: the product name Raw Iron was chosen for the analogy with raw devices @ on Unix, required when running Oracle in parallel server mode. @ Now, when using Raw Iron it is mandatory that you iron the object, in this @ case OraPants, from two sides at the same time. @ This is documented in the Raw Iron Instruction Manual. *** BSCHWARZ 01/12/00 06:39 am *** @A customer of mine has heard of a new Raw Iron version called Steam Iron. When @will this version be available? It's supposed to reduce the OraPants leak hole @problem dramatically. Is this true? *** USHET 01/28/00 04:40 am *** @Ct. wants to escalate the issue. Ct doesn't want to bring down OraPants to @apply the sol. *** JXDAVIS 01/28/00 06:54 am *** @ The number of holes should be reduced if Damp Cloth v2.0 is applied before Raw @ Iron v1.0. *** SOKHAI 01/28/00 09:40 am *** @Raw Iron v1.0 is not Y2K compliant. Cust must use Raw Iron v2.2 or higher. @This is a workaround because the problem does seem to re-appear in later @versions the more it is used. @. @This is a priorty 1 for my customer, as he has not applied any underwear @patches and is waiting for this problem to be fixed so that he can upgrade to @the latest version. He is having a hairy day down under. @. @Please help customer is getting impatiant and may go to other company products. *** PKRABBEN 01/28/00 01:57 pm *** @ Yeah right, as if they would be more comfortable with MicroPants... *** AMACIAS 02/29/00 04:49 am *** @ Problem :A customer in Tampa is in need to use his OraPants to go out for @ supplies and saw this bug in Metalink. @ He looked for holes but can't find any. @ Weather forecast for today says is going to rain. @ Because Today is Leap Day y2 the customer asks that if he gets water on his @ OraPants would that be this same bug or a new Y2k Bug. @ Please respond quicly because his cat is in need of food and could die of @ starvation. *** AMACIAS 02/29/00 04:49 am *** (CHG: Sta->16) *** MMATAGRA 02/29/00 02:28 pm *** (CHG: Sta->11) *** SJHALA 02/29/00 04:02 pm *** (CHG: Sta->44 Asg->SJHALA) *** SJHALA 02/29/00 04:02 pm *** @ for new OracleWear, please log a new bug .. using the bug filing template. *** MHALLIDA 03/01/00 05:07 pm *** (CHG: Sta->11) *** MHALLIDA 03/01/00 05:07 pm *** @ It seems we have an NLS Translation Bug. I have a customer in the UK who @ purchased OraPants and is currently experiencing a similar bug. On receiving @ his latest OraPants he was alarmed to find they had 32" legs. @ After further investigation I found out that he was under the impression that @ OraPants were infact the much acclaimed OraUNDERWEAR! (or OraBoxers). @ Requesting NLS Translation to update product description to avoid similar @ mistakes. *** RFDAVIS 03/04/00 10:17 pm *** @With OraPants ver 10 there is a utility called zipper 4.5. If the hole is in @the front only...the standard Oracle functionality is to winzip it up....if @customer would like to restore from a zipup he can PKUNZIP it. If ct is not @ sure what the flag has been set to, have them do the following: @Select zipper @from zipper_OraPants @where zipper = up @ . @ . @There is a Minipack 10.1.newzipper.G but I believe it needs to be ported for @OraWear. If the Hole is in the back have the ct do the following: @ . @select New_Pants @from K_Mart @where Blue_Light_Special = yes @ . *** MWALLENK 05/05/00 03:35 am *** @ I had a customer with a similar problem, he discovered the hole in the back of @ his OraPants. @ After careful investigation from support we discovered that customer had @ installed the product incorrectly, maybe the installation procedure isn't @ documented customer-proof. Uninstalling OraPants, turning for 180 degrees and @ reinstalling solved the problem and made a customer happy. *** SJHALA 05/08/00 07:34 pm *** (CHG: Sta->92) *** CCOBBOLD 06/28/00 08:33 am *** @ I also had an extremely unhappy customer in the UK who purchased OraPants. @ He had to call in a P1 as his OraPants had NO HOLE in them ! @ Unfortunately we couldn't offer him a quick workaround before the pants @ were saturated ! @ I'm told he has now installed a new product called SAP Siphon to remove @ the fluids and he will not be purchasing OraPants again !! *** GTHORLAK 06/29/00 08:33 am *** @ Per Mr Ellison, "the internet changes everything".....please have the client @ contact client relations to get a copy of Pants v501i (This is totally y2k @ compliant. To confirm this check the zipper for the YKK logo) Sweater8i and @ Jacket11i. Prior to upgrade client will have to make sure they install a fresh @ version of underwear6.0 to insure we have a clean instance to run the @ Sweater,Jacket, and Pants. All of these can be run on the same server but the @ sweater and jacket must be run on the same partition, whereas the pants must @ be run in dedicted area with a direct path to underwear defined. @ . @ With this upgrade the client will no longer have to leave the house so a hood @ will not be needed, and the individual with the starving cat can use SSP5 to @ order food/litter/cat toys from pets.com *** BLOWENST 06/30/00 12:13 pm *** @ GSAM (for Great Modeling Agency) @ ===================================== @ . @ As the GSAM for this account, I'm surprised that this BUG is still being @ worked on after 6 years. The client (Great Modeling Agency) went out of @ business 5 years ago, because the models got so thin that they slipped through @ the holes in their OracleWare and were promptly arrested for indecent @ exposure. (As you may know, models do not install OracleUnderWare since it @ does not run on a thin client.) @ . *** JENNOR2 07/11/00 03:14 pm *** @ The modeling agency that's bust was in the OraWear with many others. @ Some of the other customers are unhappy that no upgrades to OraWear are @ forthcoming, saying that the Internet should have changed everything by now. @ Could we develop an InterNet patch (like Velcro?) to solve the hole problem? *** RXKRISHN 02/23/01 08:51 am *** . . @The reason for the hole is finally apparent ... Turns out that plans for the @NC was laid out a while back, and now that the market is mature, we can use @this hole to build in a network interconnect. Hence the opening. It is @actually planned functionality as an API. This is not a bug, and there is no @need to reproduce it. This is indeed intended functionality, just not in this @the version of the product. . . @The opening was intended was several purposes, but right now it is being @debated if it should be used as an iConnect portal or if it should be @used as a worm hole for interfacing to other heterogeneous services. @Currently this is being reviewed for inclusion in the Messaging framework @by the Transparent Gateway Group, the Oracle Message Broker Group and @the Java Messaging Group. The problem with the original NC connect proposal @was that the market was never really ready for the technology, which is @obvious from the fact that someone actually logged this bug !!! . *** DPAL 07/11/01 08:59 pm *** @ Sanjeev : @ . @ BDE - we need to escalate this Bug as the hole is getting bigger and the s___ @ is falling out spreading the stink. @ . @ Why is this closed as not a bug ? *** SUSIVASU 07/13/01 07:26 am *** (CHG: Asg->MREID) *** SUSIVASU 07/13/01 07:26 am *** @ Performance of buffering of the OraPants has severly de-graded and data is @ leaking rapidly, leaving the customers breathless. @ Performance should be addressed immediatley to avoid further messes. @ . @ Can cache be used for effecient discharge of unwanted data? *** KKOH 07/13/01 07:36 am *** @Customer EX LAX is reporting a similar hot ISSUE. @Requesting we reopen the bug. @I thought this bug had been resolved !!!! @Why have you closed the bug if the initial customer @is reporting that they are not RUNNING smoothly? *** BOVARGHE 02/14/02 11:08 am *** @ Had a customer reporting a very similar problem. @ The only difference in his case is that the hole is in front of the jacket and @ not the back. @ Explained to him that this was our 'Valentine's special' collection, which had @ holes positioned in front of the heart, especially for cusotmers who have lost @ their hearts. The hole was deliberately provided to ease the process of @ putting your heart back in place, once you have found it. @ The customer said that he would first need to lose his heart to find it. @ However he seemed convinced with the explaination and is fine with the hole in @ the front. *** AOLGREN 03/04/02 12:54 pm *** @ Support has tested and replicated the issue for OraWear products. It is @ supports determination that upgrading Orawear resolves most of existing bugs. @ If clients have not experienced the stated bugs listed here, they can update @ storage devices to cedar version to prolong life. @ . @ When upgrading, as mentioned before, all modules will need to be updated at @ the same time to the latest versions. A new bug should be logged for any @ issues that arise from the upgrade. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
