Oracle Agent 10.2.0.5 – Funny ideas some people have
3 July , 2009 | 
Author I am installing the 10.2.0.5 Agent for Oracle Grid Control and found the following as just a little humorous. You see the one off patch is showing as optional. Now that would be good if I had been given a chance to choose to install the “Optional” one off patch, but at no time leading up to this little screen showing up was I informed that a one off patch existed and it was in fact optional to install it. Now I am not sure about you but Oracle has decided that a one off patch needs to be installed in the process of installing the Agent or any other software, then I am not likely to finish the installation and then first thing go and remove that patch as it is “Optional”. Ok it must have been a slow morning to find it funny
. Enjoy the thought that you can have optional when its not really. I guess I can now run OPatch and find out as the the merits and remove it if I want however that might mean other issues down the track so I think I will just leave the

It’s optional to succeed. I.e. if that steps fail you will still have a working setup.
PS: Related web-sites on your blogs and related ways to take actions – seems to be absolutely unrelated and, personally, annoying.
And so CNN top stories on the side-bar. Obviously, that’s your personal choice. 
I can understand that about the “Optional to succeed”, I thought that it was amusing as others are so pedantic about I cant go if this is not done. I had another look at the page after this post and your comment and yes it doesn’t add up. Time for those plugins to take their leave,
