BEFORE GETTING STARTED
----------------------

This patch is only for SFRAC 5.0 MP1 on AIX 5.2 or AIX 5.3. Ensure that you
are running one of these supported configurations before applying this
patch.

FIXES AND ENHANCEMENTS INCLUDED IN THIS SFRAC PATCH
---------------------------------------------------

e997770         In one of the senario IPC was leaving request handler in
                the queue even after Oracle calls skgxpdis() for the connection.
                This cause ORA-0600 since after skgxp24.h Oracle expects us to
                remove all request handler associated with a connection from the
                done queue when skgxpdis() is called.

e1044590        Oracle crash on one node leads to Oracle crash on another. The fix
                is to suppress connection failure by not propogating it to Oracle.
                The membership module will do the needful.


This patch supplies the required SKGXP libraries Oracle 9i, 10gR1 and 10gR2
in a SFRAC environment on AIX.

COPYING FILES TO THEIR LOCATION 
-------------------------------
On each node of your cluster (as "root" user),

1. Backup the SKGXP libraries under /opt/VRTSvcs/ops/lib
	# cd /opt/VRTSvcs/ops/lib
	# for file in libskgxp*
	> do
	> cp $file $file.bak
	> done

2. Change directory to the patch location.
       # cd <patch_location>/lib

3. Copy all the libraries to /opt/VRTSvcs/ops/lib
	# cp * /opt/VRTSvcs/ops/lib

RELINKING ORACLE WITH THE NEWLY COPIED LIBRARY
----------------------------------------------

1. If you"ve already installed Oracle, you must relink Oracle with the newly installed SKGXP library (from the installsfrac menu). 

2. If Oracle has not been installed yet, follow the instructions in the SFRAC ICG to install and relink Oracle.
