9.2.0.3 Patching Woes

All,
Couple of patching problems with 9.2.0.3 integrated patchset on AIX 5L
1. The patch was successfully applied to the Infrastructure. After the patch, however, the DAS UIX images where all *$%@ up. EmWebsite did not have that problem. I checked the DISPLAY variable and it was set.
2. When I applied the patch to the middle-tier (it is on the same box as the infra), it did not ask me for the Portal, or sys password. The log says patch was successfully applied. But, when I try to login to Portal, it says the the partner application has expired.
I cannot find any notes or tips on Metalink or Forums.
Please help !!

I've never done an upgrade on a multi-master setup, but I would be pretty confident that an usual upgrade (with the replication stopped) should work, especially if the new features introduced and bugs fixed don't touch replication (which I suspect is the case from 9.2.0.3 to 9.2.0.8, but this should be verified). The replication could be restarted after the upgrade. Do you have an environment to test this out?

Patch Tool Woes....

Tell me I'm the only one who saw the Patch Tool go straight to Hell.
Nothing about it works like it did in CS3, and I might be breathing vapours but I think I've seen changes in the Clone Stamp too.
Patch tool used to do a perfect patch, you couldn't tell it WAS patched.
Now it leaves all kinds of sloppy evidence in MOST of the patches I try to do.
It's like the perfect tool destroyed. I'm not the only on online that's moaning about this....
Why do I need to see SAMPLES in the Clone Stamp Brush? AHHHH!
Help me ObiWan Kenobee... you're my only hope.

Hp Warranty Woes & Hard Drive Heartache

HP – Warranties Woes & Hard Drive Headaches.
Dear Internet Community (I.C)
I need your help.
I would like to know if I’m being unreasonable in my expectations or is Hewlett Packard (HP) not living up to its both moral & legal obligations as a good corporate citizen & what it alleges to be – a Customer Focused Global Computer Services company.
Apologies if this is a little long winded but in the interests of fairness I need to put as many HP comments in as possible – to give you a clear picture.
So bear with me, you will not be disappointed & there are a couple of questions you might like to answer & feedback to the appropriate parties.
Keep in mind at all times we are talking about approximately a $200 (NZD) fix – less than the lost profit on one lost sale for an HP PC ( you might think twice about HP products after reading this).
There are two parts to this problem :
Part 1 :
I purchased an HP Touch Smart a few years ago, I registered the product & warranty with them & over the years have received have received numerous emails stating “buy this, upgrade now”.
But I don’t recall ever receiving an “WARNING – Critical Failure Issue (CFI) apply attached patch immediately” email while under warranty. Why is this relevant?
Ø Seagate makes Hard Drives – in this case a Barracuda 7200.11
Ø HP buys said HD’s from Seagate
Ø Seagate finds a problem with firmware in HD’s & advises HP & supplies a fix
Ø HP knows which Customers have these HD’s, because you know what goes into your machines – right ? - see below
Ø HP FAILS to send email to Customers with the fix (a simple email with attachment would solve problem) or issue recall.
Ø HP even offers previously to fix problem FOC & puts fix on its Website - but only if the Customer knows somehow of the problem.
Ø Should the Customer intuitively& telepathically know of problems in HP Products in advance before it fails, because of course HP is not telling their Customers.
Problem or Outcome: My HD has bricked itself & will not operate as I never received notice of the firmware fix at any time either in or out of warranty.
Paul Boshoff - G M -Personal Systems Group- HP NZ (PB- GMPSG) says
“It would be very difficult, if not impossible, for any computer vendor to proactively notify it’s customers of component-level updates”
“Failures of the kind you’ve experienced are usually related to a specific batch of serial numbers and often those component serial numbers aren’t available when the user is registering that particular computer.”
Now let me know if you think I’m wrong, but it sounds like HP does not know what goes into its machines or at the very minimum does not keep track of this.
HP, a Global Computer Services company cannot possibly be expected to track what goes into its machines. HP apparently does not record or match the serial number of the HD with the machine it goes into.
If Ford & Toyota can track & record what tyres go on which make & model of their cars which are in the millions each year & can recall cars dating back 8-10 years just case of a manufacturers component malfunction why can’t HP link & record the HD details.
I can just hear it now “I’m sorry we don’t know which engine we put in your car”.
And let’s be real clear here – we are not talking about some small screw at the back of a PC – Along with the CPU & the RAM, the Hard Drive is pretty much up there in the top 3 of important components of any computer.
I.C – Do you feel
ü That fills you with confidence in HP products & services ?
ü Should HP be required to tell its customer of CFI’s with its products – particularly while under warranty?
ü Has HP tried to limit their liability & cost by directly NOT telling Customers of CFI’s while under warranty?
Part 2 :
When your HD bricks itself – apparently all is not lost – some very clever person has found a solution so you can get the HD going long enough to apply the firmware fix & then your HD is a good as new – Here is the link that spells it out with pics http://www.overclock.net/t/457286/seagate-bricked-firmware-drive-fix-with-pics)
You’ll see the relevance of this shortly.
After much messing about I received the following email from PB- GMPSG : “I have escalated your issue and have just received the go-ahead to repair your unit at our cost. We will be utilizing our own, authorized service provider to re-install the original hard-drive and to run the software fix on that unit.” (This guy most likely earns a six figure salary & isn’t able to sign off $200 fix).
NOTE : it does not limit or restrict what type of fixes will be used & also at this time HP was aware of both the Seagate fix & above fix.
I delivered the PC & bricked HD into the HP Authorised Repair Centre (ARC) as requested –their ticket instructions read “do firmware update…HP to incur costs. NO COST to customer”.
Obviously it’s not rocket science but you need the HD going before you can apply any firmware fix including this one – HP knew that to get the HD going they would need a special fix to enable them to apply the Seagate fix.
After all this is not an isolated case & I did point out to HP that they would need the fix I supplied (or something similar HP approved or designed if that made them more comfortable) prior to their offer of fixing the HD.
HP said their ARC’s had all the right software for fixing their machines. In addition I have been told on several occasions, the ARC’s are the bee’s knees, the cat pajamas, the whiz kids of the PC service world “The first port of call for the repair centre agent is to download all the latest service advisory notices and updates. This is a very fundamental part of the repair process and one that we spend a great deal of time emphasizing with our authorised repair centres” Keep this in mind.
A week later I received a call from Peter Gasporaratos, HP CS Melbourne (poor guy – caught in the middle) & stated “there is nothing else we can do for you”. When I asked if they had applied the fix he said “its not our responsibility.. its not part of our guidelines.. the ARC does not practice unauthorised methods..& this ARC will not go down this path”
Ironically the day before, Barry from the ARC said “we can attempt it, but we will charge you too”. So HP’s own ARC will do it, but there will be a cost – but hang on a minute, didn’t PB- GMPSG say “to repair your unit at our cost. We will be utilizing our own, authorized service provider to re-install the original hard-drive and to run the software fix on that unit” & HP CS put on the instructions “HP to incur costs. NO COST to customer”.
I.C – Do you feel
ü HP have said they will fix it at NO COST to me, regardless of what the fix entails ?
ü Should HP honour this commitment ?
ü Would you do business with a company that says one thing & does another & does not honour its commitment ?
ü That given the bricking fault did not need to happen if HP had been proactive in letting their customers know of the firmware issue & this is not an isolated case– shouldn’t they then be responsible in finding or developing a fix for getting the HD going long enough to apply the firmware fix if they are not going to use other recognised fixes.
Abstract
So that’s it – what do you think I.C. ?
Would you want HP computers & servers controlling the Traffic Lights, Air Traffic Control, Patient records & Medications at Hospitals knowing that HP will not tell these organisations that there is CFI with their products & they could suddenly lose everything. All dead while they try to find a back up computer with all the data – god forbid if President Obama’s “football” is powered by an HP – Nuclear War before we know it.
But seriously – I would love your feedback – Am I being unreasonable in asking them to honour their commitment for a $200 fix ?
And of course HP being a Customer Focused Global Computer Services company, would welcome your feedback.
Here are a couple of the players contact details who would love to hear from you :
ü Keith Watson – CEO –HP NZ -I initially contacted him & he thanked me for bringing it to his attention, then nothing.
Email : [email protected]
ü Paul Boshoff - G M -Personal Systems Group- HP NZ – well of course you now know who he is now – he would love feedback.
Email : [email protected]
ü Jessica Rangi – She’s the Spokes person/PR/Marketing for HP NZ & has just help launch HP new PC range in NZ – She would love your feedback as it might impact on her marketing & she is quoted as having helped out in warranty situations before & has worked at HP head office.
Email : [email protected]
ü Meg Whitman - President and Chief Executive Officer of HP Global
Email : [email protected]
They would all like to hear from you J
I.C
J Thanks for being patience & reading through to the end – now it’s up to you
L buy HP Products & Services or not.
L Do HP deserve your hard earned money if you now believe they aren’t going tell you about problems with their Product & Services.
Be kind to one another & take care.

Smithie
P.S - I sent this blog to HP for fact & quote checking prior to uploading (I gave them over a week to reply) – the silence was deafening from HP.

When requesting assistance, please provide the complete model name and product number of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq makes thousands of models of computers. Without this information it may be difficult or impossible to assist you in resolving your issue.
The above requested information can be found on the bottom of your computer or inside the battery compartment. Please do not include your serial number. Please enter the model/product information into HP's Online Consumer Support page and post it here for our review.
I doubt the hard drive would be covered by buying an extended warranty after the fact. There is also no reason to buy a new hard drive from HP. Almost any 2.5" hard drive on the market will work in your computer. You will need your personal HP Recovery Disc set to return the computer to a factory like state. If you didn't create these discs, you will need to order a set.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Will Apple still provide security updates\patches to iOS 5.1.1?

Can someone please confirm if will Apple still provide security updates and patches to iOS 5 (5.1.1)?
I really really hope the answer is YES because iOS 5 was released less then a year ago (October 12, 2011)... So I truly hope Apple is not throwing us under the bus here? I mean even Microsoft provides OS security patch support for 10 years so please NO fanboys or Apple defenders... just be real.

iOS 6 works perfectly fine for me.
Regarding your maps issue,
Apple is constantly working on improving their new Maps service, but until it reaches the level of finesse necessary to be usable, take a look at some alternatives.
If you would like to send a suggestion to Apple, please go to http://www.apple.com/feedback or you can Report a Problem via the Maps app by tapping the bottom right.
Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.

External (Dell) display woes

Hi I just bought a Dell ST2420L monitor and connected it via DVI to my new mid 2012 Macbook Air, the mirrored image is appalling, expecially with text, nothing is sharp blacks are poor, looks like I'm viewing it under water. While this model Dell is not exactly top of the line it is full HD and considered to be do-able for the price and I'm sure its capable of a better performance than I am getting though I've not tried it with other machines. I have read another multi-page thread on here about similar woes with MBA's and HDMI connections.
Then I noticed that there was a MacBook Air (Mid 2012) Software Update 1.0 released that mentions fixes for external display support, so I downloaded it and tried to install it but it says its only compatable with Lion and I have since upgraded to ML! I'm wondering if my woes would have been sorted by that update and will Apple make it availabel to machines running ML or will its contents have been bunded with ML itself though that seems unlikley given that it was a model specific software patch?
Any other ideas about why the MBA is not playing nice with this monitor?
cheers
S

I have a MacBook Pro late 2011 and connected it to a Dell U2713hm. After a first hour or so, it stopped working and would not wake-up. I read many blogs and used various DVI connectors without success. In each case, the monitor would work for a few minutes and then go black. Now, it would even not stay on long enough to allow me to play with its settings.
I connected an old IBM to the monitor and it works, of course without the sharpness.
So it seems to be an Apple problem. Does anyone know if there is a fix? I have a few days left before shipping it back.
Thanks

Questions on Patch Deployment - From older post.

Almost a year ago I had a post with questions on the patch scan process.
https://forums.novell.com/novell-pro...s-updates.html
I have been reviewing my patch process again due to Student laptop's getting re-imaged this summer. I am hoping I can get some additional information based off the replies from that post.
1. It was stated that monthly patch bundles were created and deployed. I am unsure how that is best accomplished. If I create an all Microsoft (Windows 7 for example) Patch bundle for each month, yet the workstations it is deployed to may not require the patch, would this not cause the bundle to fail? If it just fails on that section will the remaining patch's continue to deploy?
What is the best way to deploy a monthly patch bundle? In the past I would create a patch bundle through the Patch Management area for Windows 7 but assign to only a single workstation and then go back and assign to the Windows 7 group as a "run on ref" option. Is it better to assign the patch bundle to all nonpatched devices? If this is done will a system that is reimaged and no longer has the patch or a new system created after the bundle create be automatically assigned said bundle?
Any other good strategies for patching systems? I create custom bundles for Adobe, Java, and Quicktime to ensure I control how they are deployed. Java seems to be one that works better when older versions are not installed. This method seems to be working well for those products. It is my MS Windows updates that are way off the mark. I have most of my systems with 60 to 80 patches reported ready. No matter how many times I deploy the patches they never seem to report as patched on the devices (Even tho the bundle reports back as successful). I am getting ready to start an SR since I think this is an issue with the server since so many of my systems are doing this. Good deployment procedures would be nice since I really hate to mess with my Universal WIndows image since it is working so well. Recreating it just to patch it with the latest Windows Updates would be pain.
Thanks
Richard

Hello Bhaskar,
is the transport already approved?
If not approve it and try it again. (also it is a local one)
If not check the objects and unlock them manually the following way:
SE03 => Unlock Objects (Expert Tool)
But if you approve your transport... the objects should be unlocked.

Hussein,
One thing which I noticed now is in the apps Tier the
tnsnames.ora under $TNS_ADMIN
shows entry like this:
PROD=
        (DESCRIPTION=
                (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<appsServerName>)(PORT=1521))
                (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<dbServer>)(PORT=1521))
            (CONNECT_DATA=
                (SID=PROD)
        )Actually *(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<appsIPaddress>)(PORT=1521))* this line in the tnsnames.ora is not correct. In fact the appsServerName should be replaced with dbServerName
I deleted the tnsnames.ora and reran autoconfig but it is again recreating the same entry.
Any clue how this can be fixed?
Thanks

Hi All,
There is the issue with newly relased jdeveloper patch for 12.1. We have raised an SR with Oracle and they have responded back saying : Set profile "Sign-On:Notification" to "No" at site level, which resloves the issue.

Continual Mac woes (no question, just a rant)

It's Tuesday, and I am having terrible problems with my Mac. But then, why should Tuesday be different from any other day of the week.
Here is a typical day for me. The computer appears to be working OK. I need to watch a DVD for my work. I turn on DVD player, and put one in. The machine can't read the disc. It clicks and whirls, but the icon does not show up on the desktop. Meanwhile, so distressed is the machine that it freaks out. What was up until now was a fluidly operating machine suddenly reverts back to its old ways (i.e., its ways of two days ago). The hold ups and spinning pinwheels begin to eat of hours of my work day. (Remember the old days when computers made life easier?) The machine becomes sticky, gummy. Oh, I can move the curser and it seems to work for a second but then gets stuck in the dock, which explodes in icons and then freezes for five minutes. Yes. Five minutes.
Would love to use Force Quit, but the cursor is spinning, and nothing is responding. Funny about that old Mac. You can't force quit Force Quit. I guess I need to leave it open all the time.
Of course, FQ usually works on Safari. I have never just "quit" Safari. It always requires Force Quit, otherwise I can't turn off my computer. It stalls shut down.
Now I have a DVD trapped in there and can't get it out. [But I just got an answer from another posting.]
In the old macs, there used to be a pin hole you could stick a needle into ... can't find one on my flatpanel iMac.
I bought my Apple flat panel iMac in August of 2002. Yes, I know that that is a long time to have a computer, but I am not rich nor attached to a corporation that can splurge on computers. The first weekend I had the machine, I had three kernal panics.
Among the other problems I have documented are the following: the dock hiding itself unbidden and other features checking and unchecking themselves (Aug 2002); bus errors connected with OS 9 (Sept); some problems that inspired the tech person (Eric)) to talk me through deleting my user i.d., resulting in the loss of two months worth of e-mail (Thursday, 12 September); Preview problems (September); a bizarre box with an unmovable and undeletable red stop sign in it that no tech person or other Mac user I know had ever hear of (Monday 30 September); printing problems; computer won't shut down, numerous disconnection errors, which turned out to be caused by an OS X update (beginning December, 2002, or later); Kernel panics (Feb); computer won't shut down (March); Faxstexx problems, program won't allow me to set it up, finally just deleted the software (April); keys like "V" freeze and repeat endlessly (May 21); DVD Player freezes (May); Safari and Mail begin quitting unexpectedly (May); cursor begins to blink and fade out, plus odd sounds come out of the speakers, a constant error beeping (Sept 9); DVD Player problems (Oct 4).
I called AppleCare while I had it about once a week (the total between August 2002 and the time it ran out was about 155 calls). Naturally, some of these calls are motivated by user error. On the other hand, many of the issues I have called about were unprecedented as far as the Tech person was concerned, such as the blinking mouse, the red stop sign, and the DVD Player woes.
Things improved with Panther, but in Tiger many of the same old issues have returned.
I have been having so many problems with my Mac that I once wrote a letter to the company asking when do I qualify for a new replacement machine. I never received an answer, but I felt better for about a day. Then I turned on my Mac again.

The spinning ball of death as we used to call it is often caused by a lack of RAM, it is hard to be sure as I am not working on your machine, but sometimes things can be improved with additional RAM, it makes it seem like a whole new computer.
A lot of your problems sound like stuff that can be fixed easily enough, and although frustrating things happen here and there with updates. It sounds like you are in fairly good spirits with it all, I would suggest just researching a bit more into maintenance you can do to help maintain the computer and educate yourself a bit more (sounds like you already have learned quite a bit along the way) and you will find a lot of these issues take you a few seconds to rid yourself of. I would start by making sure you are repairing permissions regularly and running the most up to date software. If a lot of problems persist, try creating a second user that is a "test" user to see if the problem is replicated on that user (don't delete your other one, but if you do find the problem not on the other user, you might have a corrupt user, however you don't have to lose all your emails there are plenty of ways to back it up and import it in, or even just bring the entire Mail folder from your library over to the new user). Another thing you can do if you find a lot of system problems is archive and install the OS, it takes a bit of time, but doing it overnight shouldn't be an issue, and you won't lose any of your stuff.

How to find out the list of patches applied without using inventory?

Hi,
I have been asked this question once.
How will you find out the list of patches applied to Oracle Database Home without using commands like opatch lsinventory -detal etc...
I think registry$history is a view from where we can find out the list of patches applied.
But I think it will not include all the bug fixes,stand alone or one-off patches.It will mainly list out the CPU patches applied(correct me if I am wrong).
Thanks,
Rushi

Hi;
Thanks Helios,
Your welcome
Could you tell me how do you all senior people manage to find metalink note for almost everything?There is nothing special, For me I just make more search at metalink than googling so after sometimes you started to notice which note could be related wiht issues more clearly.. Just keep searching at metalink and focus what you are searching only.. ;)
If you could guide me I can do it my self and stop bothering you for some silly doubts.You dont bother me and also I belive the other forum users ;) We are also learning new information wiht user questions ;)
Regard
Helios

An alert message observered while appling latest patch MLR 10

Hi Gurus,
While applying latest patch MLR10 we observed an alert message as below
"Creating log file "C:\oracle\midtier\.patch_storage\8404955\Apply_8404955_05-21-
2009_15-44-27.log"
Conflicting patches: 8204237,
Patch(es) 8204237, conflict with the patch currently being installed (8404955).
If you continue, patch(es) 8204237, will be rolled back and the
new patch (8404955) will be installed.
Note: If the patch currently being installed (8404955) is rolled back,
it is recommended that the fixes being rolled back here (8204237, ) are reinstal
led.
If a merge of the new patch (8404955) and the conflicting patch(es)
8204237, is required, contact Oracle Support Services and request
a Merged patch.
Do you want to STOP?
Please respond Y|N
Should we rollback the previous patch before applying MLR10 ? or can i continue with patch application ?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Cema

Please continue the MLR10 patch installation, this message would appear for the all patch installation (of course, patch number would be different though).

ISE 1.2 patch 4 not retrieving groups

Since the update to ISE 1.2 patch 4 it isn't possible anymore to retrieve groups or attributes from the active directory. It keeps loading.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Regards,
Mathieu

The issue you are referring to is documented in the following CDETS:
CSCul84544: Retrieval of AD groups or attributes is failing
This is not yet resolved. May be resolved in a future patch
The workaround given in the CDETS is
Fix the DNS server so that the reverse DNS lookup matches
I believe there are other steps that can be taken to mitigate this but would need intervention from TAC

ISE 1.2.0.899 patch 1,2,3,4 with blackberry 9700

Hi, I'm using ISE 1.2.0.899 patch 1,2,3,4, and I am trying to use guest portal on blackberry 9700.
I verified that I am able to do 802.1x with blackberry.
I associated to ssid, and opened web browser, and I can see the guest portal.
However, when I clicked on "don't have account?" to creating guest ID, I could not go any further.
does anyone know if it's supported or not ? if it's working or not ?
I know in the network compatibility document for 1.2, there is no mention about blackberry.
does anyone know about this ?

Saurav Lodh, I did check the default time profile that is being used the sponsor. I even created a custom time profile to rule out any timeout on the Guest account, but even with the custom profile time the Guest account times out between 7 to 10 minutes and asks to re-authenticate again. I don't know if there is another place to look out for any timeouts, or is it maybe a bug with this version of ISE, but I couldn't find anybody else having this same issue which makes me think that it has to be a setting that is causing this problem.
