2 Critical Patch Updates in January 2012

hi
we've got CPUs on
January 17th, 2012, January 31st, 2012
is it necessary to apply both of the CPUs or just the latest?
I have Oracle RAC 11.2.0.3 on Windows 2008 R2.
OK, I've found eventually a section about this:
2 Patch Information
Bundle patches are cumulative, which means fixes from previous Oracle security alerts and Bundle patch updates are included. It is not required to have previous security patches applied before applying the Bundle patches. However, you must be on the stated patch set level for a given product home before applying the Bundle patches for that release

Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory - January 2013

Hi all,
11.2.0.3
Oracle Critical Patch Update - January 2013
I am confused about CPU, PSU, SPU, USP. I am reading the docs and it seems they are same thing being rambled?
Which of them is the most important to apply?
Thanks,
PetraK

Thanks gotti and fahd
I already ask the support and he gave me docs to follow. But the more I am confused with lots of added process.
Can you validate if the process is correct? My Goal is just to comply with our IT Sec Auditor to apply the latest patch. The auditor does not even know what is the name of the patch as long as it the current updates. So I think he is referring to PSU or SPU or CPU.
This is the process I got from support:
1 Appy Oracle Database Patch Set Update (11.2.0.3.8)
    1.1 Download and install latest RDA and run and send the output.
    1.2 Download and install latest OPatch and list the current inventory.
    1.3 Check java version
    1.4 Check and Resolve PSU conflict
    1.5 Backup the current OracleHome as "root"
    1.6 Stop Listener, EM, and all DB Instances
    1.7 Apply PSU
    1.8 Resolve errors if any.
End.
So It seems I only need to apply PSU? which is 11.2.0.3.8?

Long term release of CriticaL Patch Updates: which database version to use?

Hello,
The company i work for ask me to mak a plan to stay up-to-date with each quarterly released CPU's (Critical patch update)
We have 11.1.0.7 databases and 11.2.0.2 databases.
When i look at the latest CPU, docid 1455387.1 , i notice that for each final RDBMS release, a CPU is relased for a very long time, but for recent releases it is not.
For exampe for release 11.1.7.0 a CPU is relased until July 2015, but for 11.2.0.2 final CPU ends already at January 2013.
For 10.2.0.5 i noticed the same behaviour.
This makes me think....
In my opinion i would never upgrade from 11.1 to release 11.2, until the final 11.2. release come out, if i want to stat up-to-date with the cpu's.
Am i right?
And does this mean that if new applications neeed in our company need an 11g daatbase, i better install 11.1.0.7 rather then 11.2?
(if the application does not need 11.2 funtionality of course)
Any comment is appreciated.
Regards,
Harry

Pl see support policies on pages 2 thru 4 in this doc - http://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/lifetime-support-technology-069183.pdf. CPU patches are available only during Premier and Extended Support.
Details are in this MOS Doc
Lifetime Support and Support Policies - Oracle Database Overview [ID 1351163.1]
Release and support schedule is published - see this MOS Doc
Release Schedule of Current Database Releases [ID 742060.1]
It is always recommended to upgrade to the latest database version available, even if you do not need the features. A possible option is to perform upgrades on a yearly basis to whatever is the latest version available and apply CPUs/PSUs for four quarters until the next upgrade cycle

Error when try to install CPU - Critical Patch Update with OPatch

Hello gurus,
I´m faccing with a problem... After I update the patch set to 10.2.0.4 and install the interim patches for Linux X86_64 now I´m trying to import/install the Oracle Critical Patch Update - Oracle CPU patch!!
I´m trying to import it with OPatch, and I already update this OPatch tool for the last version even before proceeding with installation of Oracle CPU!
I've tried to import it by two methods. The first I tried to apply as described in the relevant README file inside of CPU patch directory, and I used in this case the following command:
redhatsap:orajmd> unzip p9119226_10204_<platform>.zip
redhatsap:orajmd> cd 9119226
redhatsap:orajmd> opatch napply -skip_subset -skip_duplicate
opatch: Command not found
After that previous error, I tried again but now with other method that is described in note 839182 (Installing patches using OPatch) with the following command:
redhatsap:orajmd> cd 9119226
redhatsap:orajmd> $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch apply

Hello again Joe Bo... and all of others,
I´m with a doubt after installing the CPU patch, which is related to post-installation tasks. I´m in this momment install the SAP System and it was during this installation that sapinst asked me to install the database and all other activities after this installation that are related to the database, for example, the updating of database patches.
At README file in chapter 3.3.2 Post Installation Instructions is described the following:
After installing the patch, perform the following actions:
1.Load modified .sql files into the database, as explained in Section 3.3.2.1.
2.Recompile views in the database, if necessary, as explained in Section 3.3.2.2.
In this momment, as you certainly know, I still don´t have a database because the sap system isn´t yet totally installed (I´m in phase 8 of sapinst wizard).
I only have to do this "Post Installation Tasks" when I have a database, this database will be created after that phase 8 - so now I don´t need to perform the post steps... am I right?
Thanks in advance,
João Dimas - Portugal

Not receiving Critical Patch Update E-mail Notification Alerts - used to

I am no longer receiving the Security Alert Email Notifications for the Oracle Critical Patch Updates. Also, the instructions on the OTN web page are no longer valid (no longer a Opt-In category).
