That said, I'd strongly consider waiting until January and then going straight to 11x assuming they've patched it by then.<BR/><BR/>While Oracle won't force you (for a long time, at least) to go to 11x, keep in mind that since 11x is out, 9.3.1 is already an obsolete product. Who wants to upgrade to a product that's already out-of-date?Edward Roskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04386477801237753018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610245918564732307.post-39490736262796746372008-08-08T13:44:00.000-05:002008-08-08T13:44:00.000-05:00Dear Ed, We are a $1Bn+ company.

Is there a chance that Oracle/Hyperion will ask us to de-support System 9 and ask us (read force us) to migrate to this newer version (Fusion) starting the second day after going on to System 9.3.1.<BR/><BR/>Please advise.Rajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14814276225100208734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610245918564732307.post-56403014732172932162008-07-15T07:36:00.000-05:002008-07-15T07:36:00.000-05:00The download finally finished.

I really wish these were available as separate downloads, because I'm not exactly in the mood to install provider services right now.
