FIXES AND ENHANCEMENTS INCLUDED IN THE PATCH:
--------------------------------------------
Etrack Incidents: 1718459

SDR's of Fixed Symantec Incidents:
---------------------------------
Symantec Incident : 1718459
Symptom:
	When you set an error corresponding to an ORA error in the 
	"oraerror.dat" file, the agent does not honor the corresponding  
	action. Instead, the agent fails over the resource.
Defect Description:
	This happens because the function call for parsing 
	the ORA errors and taking the corresponding action was missing.
Resolution:
	The ORA errors are populated in the VCSAgStartUp() function.
	Once the ORA errors and its corresponding actions are populated,
	the agent will start performing action to the corresponding error.
