Applying the Patch:

    1a) If installing on a Unix system:

        FTP the 2.0-ORA-0008.tar file to your machine. Place the
        2.0-ORA-0008.tar file into a scratch directory. For the
        purpose of this release note, assume that the symbol
        $PATCH points to this directory.

        > . /etc/Tivoli/setup_env.sh
        > cd $PATCH
        > tar xvf 2.0-ORA-0008.tar

    1b) If installing on a Windows NT system:

        Extract the contents into a scratch directory. For the
        purpose of this release note, assume that the symbol
        %PATCH% points to this directory.

        > %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\Tivoli\setup_env
        > X:
          ^-- 'X' is drive letter where %PATCH% is found
        > cd %PATCH%
        > tar xvf 2.0-ORA-0008.tar

        NOTE: If you are extracting the tar image on a Windows NT
