Good morning,
We are finally going to update our 9.2.0.4 installation and we are also going to upgrade AIX from 5.2 to 5.3. Does anyone have any insights as to which version 9.2.0.6 or 9.2.0.7 is better or worse.
I know there have been some problems with 9.2.0.6 but I am not familiary with problems specifie to AIX 5.3. Any insights will be welcome!
