#    - [IBM AIX O/S & Java patches for Oracle 9.2]
#      In order to apply java class updates to IBM AIX based systems using
#      java_131, you must update your java if you are running a version prior
#      to Service Refresh build date 20030630a. This is 
#      necessary to fix IBM Defect#60472. 
#
#      To identify which java build date you are on, enter the following 
#      command ;
#      
#      > $ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin/java -fullversion
#      ... example response ...
#      java full version "J2RE 1.3.1 IBM AIX build ca1311-20011123a"
#
#      The string ends in the date format YYYYMMDDb where 'b' is the build
#      amendment. You should always apply the latest AIX Java SDK 1.3.1 
#      Service Update available from IBM.
#      As a minimum, the above service refresh can be found under 
#      APAR IY47055. The signature for the updated JVM is ca131-20030630a.
#      
#      If you are running AIX 5L, please ignore any comment aginst the 
#      APAR that says (AIXV43 only) - we have been advised that this is 
#      a documentation error and will soon be fixed by IBM. The APAR is 
#      applicable to both AIX 4.3 and AIX 5L.
#
#      Once you have updated your java installation you need to copy these 
#      updated files to Oracle's copies in $ORACLE_HOME/jdk.
#      As the Oracle owner, simply issue the following commands;
# 
#      > cd /usr/java131   (or wherever you have installed the update)
#      > cp -fpR * $ORACLE_HOME/jdk
#      
#
#  If you do NOT meet these requirements, or are not certain that you meet
#  these requirements, please log an iTAR requesting assistance with this
#  patch and Support will make a determination about whether you should
#  apply this patch.
