It's Friday, that means its patch release time. Why do we do this to ourselves, 'we'll release on Friday!' It might 11.59 on Friday but by golly we'll have released on Friday. I can remember a release of BIP years ago that for some reason we went for 12/31 as a release date ... were we mad? I seem to remember we made it but talk about ridiculous pressure!
The latest 10g rollup is out in the wild and available from Oracle support. A bug fixing rollup but worth getting to and know that support will want you to get to it and re-test before going forward on an SR. One simple but very useful fix or enhancement:
[Cause of the bug]@ ==================
@ Customer reports that despite the clock being shown, end users are clicking
@ on the View button repeatedly as the initial generation is taking some time.
@ If the button were to be grayed out then this would prevent the users
@ requesting the report more than once. Repeated requests are causing a
@ system overload and as this is their Production instance this is extremely
@ important to the customer.
@ .
@ [The Fix]
@ =========
@ Added the logic to disable the button after the user clicks on the "view"
@ button and re-enable it when the report is loaded.
I told a group of customers once that they have a headache and we have a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, alright, I actually said 'aspirin'. This little gem of a fix helps relieve another little headache that our aspirin was causing. The patch number for all this BIP pain killing is 13399232, enjoy!
