Never tangled with Oracle and it must be awful to make Notes look good.
The Notes calls I get on the laptops either take a few minutes to fix or the installation and patch has to be blown away a couple of times and reinstalled if the fixes I’ve learned the hard way don’t work.
90% of everyone else uses Notes in Citrix and is a very straight forward setup.
My main notes headache is one of my remote users with a laptop less than a year old. Notes takes about 20 minutes or so to load up last I heard from him. It did it before. I did the uninstall/reinstall thing since the guy was around only a couple of hours.
Even with the cheat sheet, I could not see this person installing notes again in another part of the country.
I was pretty much just a Notes user but I worked pretty closely with a programmer to set up a few databases. No real issues but Oracle had us tearing our hair out. Everything broke after release from testing.
