Access to patch sets

I need some patches for my database because the listener dies.
The link to the patchsets http://www.oracle.com/technology/support/patches.htm at
http://www.oracle.com/de/support/index.html is dead.
Metalink doesn't exist anymore. I get redirected to support.oracle.com.
support.oracle.com asks me for "Oracle Support Identifiers", but doesn't accept any of my CSIs for registration.
Give me a place to download patches hassle-free for my professional database.
The alternative, and I'll start research today: Running towards the next GPL'ed database (MaxDB, whatever) as fast as I can.
(I thought about that a lot the last year, with Oracle pathetically failing to see customer needs for years now. This situation is starting to make it a business necessity.)

Thanks for your help, schavali. I somehow doubt that a phone support can help me get at patches, but I'll try. I still maintain that we should have easy, hassle-free access to patches for a database we paid a reasonable amount of money for. But I also acknowledge that this forum is the wrong place to vent my anger, and I'll go venting at some support person which is equally helpless. I'll try my best to make clear it's nothing personal.
Also thanks, damorgan. I agree with the notion that offering a slow and unresponsive flash access when you usually are in trouble with a malfunctioning database and most of the time not on a computer with all patches and plugins installed and just want a very basic, robust access to files and information is at least questionable. A word like "braindead" just urges itself onto me.
But I must also disagree: The Metalink redirects to just that support.oracle.com, where my credentials aren't welcome anymore and my CSIs won't get accepted, and the non-flash-link (thanks for that) behaves exactly the same: "This Support Identifier does not allow new users registration". Therefore: No access to patch sets. Which is intolerable. I still try to work my way around here for the installations in use here, but for many of those MaxDB is a very fine alternative, and obviously the hassle of changing is so much less now than the hassle of putting up with Oracle support...
Again, thanks for your hints and help.

Do I need a patch set?

I am working to install OAM 10.1.4.0.1 to accomplish an IIS SSO integration. I have installed the 10.1.4.0.1 Idendity Server and WebPass on a windows install of OID. Looks like I now need to install Policy Manager and Access Server as well. Finally I will be able to install and configure the IIS WebGate to get SSO functionality. It is my impression I need the 10.1.4.2.0 patch set for this to all work. I am looking at the download page and see the "Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 10g (10.1.4.2.0)" and the "Oracle Virtual Directory 10.1.4.2 Patchset". I do not see an OIS 10.1.4.2 patchset. Can someone please provide some guidance on this.
Thanks,
John

IIS SSO will work on OAM 10.1.4.0.1.
10.1.4.2.0. is a full patch set that you can apply to all components. Many folks are running 10.1.4.0.1 in production today.
You don't need to touch OVD or OAAM based on your stated goal.

Oracle 9.2.0.3.0 patch set for windows - questions

Hi!
I have for that some questions. I have oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on a windows 2003 server running with one local database - no real apllication cluster.
I don't understand which instructions I have to make for oracle upgrade?
Must I also make the 3. instruction? Connect to databse prior and drop?
Must I also make the post install action for my database?
(startup migrate ...)
what means at post install actions the following:
'execute these post install actions only if you have one or more databases associated to the upgraded $oracle_homee.
My database path is e:\oracle\oradata\database my oracle path is e:\oracle\ora92 have I in my case make the post install actions?
Thanks for help!
1. When applying this patchset on Windows NT, XP or Windows 2000, you must log onto the system as a user with Administrative privileges
(e.g. as a user which is a member of the local Administrators group).
2. Unzip the downloaded patch set file into a new directory.
3. Drop the xmlconcat function by running the following commands:
drop public synonym xmlconcat;
drop function xmlconcat;
4. Shut down any existing Oracle Server instances in the ORACLE_HOME to be patched with normal or immediate priority. i.e.: Shutdown all instances (cleanly). Stop the database services, and stop all listener, agent and other Oracle processes running in or against the ORACLE_HOME to be installed into.
5. Perform the following pre-install steps for Real Application Clusters (RAC) enviroments only:
IN ADDITION TO STOPPING ALL ORACLE SERVICES IN THE ORACLE_HOME TO BE UPGRADED:
If you are running in a RAC enviroment, stop the following Windows service(s)/devices(s) using the Net Stop command:
Stop the Windows service named "OracleGSDService"
Stop the Windows service named "OracleCMService9i".
Stop the Windows device named "OraFenceService" (This Device does NOT show up as a Service in the Control Panel).
For Example:
C:\>net stop OracleGSDService
C:\>net stop OracleCMService9i
C:\>net stop OraFenceService
Once the above steps have been performed on all the nodes of the cluster, you should then be able to upgrade the OSD components to the 9.2.0.3 versions. This can be accomplished by...
xcopy all the files in the \Disk1\preinstall_rac\osd\*.* directory to the directory in which the OSD components were originally installed on all nodes(typically %SystemRoot%\system32\osd9i).
Note: You may also be able to look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle\OSD9i registry key to determine the directory in which the original OSD components were installed. Now the OSD components can be restarted on all the nodes in the cluster.
C:\>net start OraFenceService
C:\>net start OracleCMService9i
C:\>net start OracleGSDService
After all of the above steps have been completed on all the nodes of the cluster, you are now ready to proceed with the Oracle 9.2.0.3.0 patchset installation.
6. Start the installer:
If the current Installer version is less than 2.2.0.18.0 then download the Installer 2.2.0.18.0 from Oracle Metalink where it can be accessed with the bug number 2878462 and choosing the MS Windows NT/2000 Server platform, then run the setup.exe 2.2.0.18.0 from the C:\Program Files\Oracle\oui\install directory .
7. You may install the Patch Set through either an interactive or a silent installation.
To perform an interactive installation using the Oracle Universal Installer graphical interface:
1. Start the installer from the newly installed OUI 2.2.0.18.0 by running the version of setup.exe located at C:\Program Files\Oracle\oui\install and verify
that the version of the OUI GUI is 2.2.0.18.0 before proceeding.
2. Follow the steps given below within the installer:
1. On the Welcome screen, click the Next button. This will display the File Locations screen.
2. Click the Browse button for the Source... entry field and navigate to the stage directory where you unpacked
the Patch Set tar file.
3. Select the products.jar file. Click the Next button
The products file will be read and the installer will load the product definitions.
The products to be loaded will be displayed (verify ORACLE_HOME setting for this first).
4. Verify the products listed and then click on the Install button.
5. Once the installation has completed successfully, it will display End of Installation. Click on Exit and confirm
to exit the installer.
To perform a silent installation requiring no user intervention:
1. Copy the response file template provided in the response directory where you unpacked the Patch
Set tar file.
2. Edit the values for all fields labeled as "<Value Required>" according to the comments and examples
in the template.
3. From the unzipped patchset installation area, start the installer by running the setup executable passing
as the last argument the full path of the response file template you have edited locally with your own
value of ORACLE_HOME and FROM_LOCATION:
setup.exe -silent -responseFile <full_path_to_your_response_file>
Post Install Actions
Execute these "Post Install Actions" only if you have one or more databases associated to the upgraded $ORACLE_HOME.
Important Notes
1: Java VM and XML DB Requirements
Users who have JVM (Java enabled) or JVM and XDB installed on their 9.2.0.1 databases should make sure that the init.ora parameters shared_pool_size and java_pool_size are each 150 MB or more before running the catpatch.sql upgrade script. Failure to do so could result in an unrecoverable memory failure during running of the script. Please note that JVM and XML DB was shipped as part of the default 9.2.0.1 seed database and will be present unless the user explicitly installed a 9.2.0.1 instance without them.
2: SYSTEM table space
If you have JServer installed in the database, you should check to be sure there is at least 10M of free space in the SYSTEM table space before running these actions.
3: Installing on Cluster Databases
If you are applying this patch set to a cluster database, then set the CLUSTER_DATABASE initialization parameter to false. After the post-install actions are completed, you must set this initialization parameter back to true.
To complete the installation of this patch set, you need to start up each database associated with the upgraded $ORACLE_HOME, start the database listener (e.g., lsnrctl start), login using SQL*Plus (e.g., sqlplus "/ as sysdba"), and run the following commands/scripts in order from $ORACLE_HOME within a MIGRATE session. If you are using the OLAP option, make sure that the database listener is up.
startup migrate
spool patch.log
@rdbms/admin/catpatch.sql
spool off
Review the patch.log file for errors and re-run the catpatch script after correcting any problems
shutdown
startup
This step is optional - it will recompile all invalid PL/SQL packages now rather than when accessed for the first time - you can also use utlrcmp.sql to parallelize this in multiprocessor machines:
@rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
Execute the following if you use Oracle OLAP option:
alter user olapsys identified by <password> account unlock
connect olapsys/<password>
@cwmlite/admin/cwm2awmd.sql
exit
Execute the following script only if you have version 9.2.0.1.0 of Oracle Internet Directory installed in your ORACLE_HOME. Make sure that the database and database listener are running and that all parameters are specified prior to running the script:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/oidpatchca.bat
-connect <Connect String>
-lsnrport <Listener Port>
-systempwd <SYSTEM Password>
-odspwd <ODS Password>
-sudn <Super-User DN>
-supwd <Super-User Password>
-dippwd <Password to register DIP Server>
Where:
connect - Database connect string
lsnrport - Database Listener port
systempwd - Password of the database 'SYSTEM' user
odspwd - Password of the database 'ODS' user
sudn - Super-user DN
supwd - Super-user Password
dippwd - New password to register Directory Integration Server. This password must conform to the password policy in the OID server
Execute the following steps only is you are using the RMAN catalog.:
rman catalog <user/passwd@alias>
upgrade catalog;
upgrade catalog;

I don't understand which instructions I have to make for oracle upgrade?
-- You have to follow all the instructions mentioned
(Just check for few if's for Cluster enabled, OID and OLAP databases. Perform these steps only if they apply)
Must I also make the 3. instruction? Connect to databse prior and drop?
-- Yes you should do
Must I also make the post install action for my database?
(startup migrate ...)
-- Yes. Do run catpatch.sql .
what means at post install actions the following:
'execute these post install actions only if you have one or more databases associated to the upgraded $oracle_homee.
-- In this step make sure you do step 1
1: Java VM and XML DB Requirements
Otherwise catpatch.sql will fail.
Do 2 and 3 only if applicable

My database path is e:\oracle\oradata\database my oracle path is e:\oracle\ora92 have I in my case make the post install actions?

Error when installing 9.0.1.4.0 patch set for the Oracle Database Server.

Hi to all.
Currently, i am trying to install patches for portal server.
The server OS is Sun Solaris 8.
We are using Oracle9iAS.
Now, we are installing 9.0.1.4.0 patch set for the Oracle Database Server.
We managed to install the patch, but have problem with the Post Install Action.
We managed to run
-ALTER SYSTEM ENABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
-@rdbms/admin/catpatch.sql
-ALTER SYSTEM DISABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
-CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
-update obj$ set status=5 where type#=29 and owner#!=0;
-commit;
But, when we come to the next command, which is to shutdown, it gives us like
this..
SQL> update obj$ set status=5 where type#=29 and owner#!=0;
1402 rows updated.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01219: database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only
We tried to startup the database..it gives us this error..
SQL> startup
ORA-01081: cannot start already-running ORACLE - shut it down first
So, we tried to shutdown again..
SQL> shutdown immediate
ORA-01089: immediate shutdown in progress - no operations are permitted
I been informed that this is maybe a Database problem related. Any ideas?
Best Wishes,
Rushdan Md Saad.

Patchsets could be obtained (only) from http://metalink.oracle.com
You need to have valid CSI for access.
P.S: Sorry Werner, I didn't see you post.

Error while appying patch set 4 (10.1.3.4.0) to oracle home (10.1.3.1.0 )

Hi,
I am trying to apply patch set 10g Release 3 (10.1.3) Patch Set 4 (10.1.3.4.0) to 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) oracle home. As the pre - installation steps describes I have run the script ‘upgrade_10131_10134_oracle.sql’ for both ESB and BPEL. Also we need to delete the line <data id="java-bin" value="/myhost/jdk1.4.2/bin/java" />from the ‘ORACLE_HOME/opmn/conf/opmn.xml’ file. But when I have checked that file, the line was not present there.
But when I am running the installer, it is showing error like
Error
--> Process (index=1,uid=418288051,pid=30220)
failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit
Log:
C:\Oracle\Soa_OFMPractice\SOATESTING\opmn\logs\\HTTP_Server~1.log
Configuration assistant "OPMN Configuration Assistant" failed.
When I checked the log I got the error message like

Syntax error on line 278 of c:/oracle/soa_ofmpractice/soatesting/apache/apache/conf/httpd.conf:

Does anybody know how to fix this problem?
Thanks & Regards,
Anju

There is a quick fix for this
There are 2 lines you need to comment form the c:/oracle/soa_ofmpractice/soatesting/apache/apache/conf/httpd.conf
A comment is done with a #
If you look in the C:\Oracle\Soa_OFMPractice\SOATESTING\opmn\logs\HTTP_Server~1.log file it will tell you.
Find the line that has apachemoduleossl in it. When you try and restart it will fail again the C:\Oracle\Soa_OFMPractice\SOATESTING\opmn\logs\HTTP_Server~1.log should tell you what line to comment
sorry can't be of much more help but dont have access to an environement at the moment.
cheers

10.2.0.2 Patch set noninteractively , OUI-10133

Dear all,
I tried to install the 10.2.0.2 Patch Set Noninteractively,
I ran runInstaller:
./runInstaller -silent -responseFile /app/patch/p45478
17_10202_LINUX/Disk1/response/patchset.rsp
and then I received:
SEVERE: OUI-10133:Invalid staging area. There are no top level components for Linux available for installation in this staging area.
INFO: User Selected: Yes/OK
INFO: Performing operation for OUI Shiphome access setup
SEVERE:OUI-10133:Invalid staging area. There are no top level components for Linux available for installation in this staging area.
What does it mean?
Regards,
Maria

Yes, you can. Choose a plateform where the 10.2.0.4 patchset version is the based released (MacOSX, Vista or Windows 2008), install it, create a new db, then export your source 10.2.0.1 db, and import into this new one.
Nicolas.
PS: of course, if you want only the patchset to upgrade your db in place, then the answer is shorter : no.

Install the latest patch set for Oracle 10.2.0.4.0

I install SAP PI 7.1 EHP1 on Windows Server 2008 (RC1).
I already installed Oracle DB software 10.2.0.4.0
Now I would like to install the latest set for Oracle 10.2.0.4.0
I downloaded the following files from Service Marketplace:
- p8559467_10204_MS_WINX8664.zip
-p7592030_10204_WIN_GENERIC.zip
- Opatch_10204_Generic_v5.zip
- and 3 Patchset files (Patchset_10204MSWINX8664aa.bin, Patchset_10204MSWINX8664ab.bin, Patchset_10204MSWINX8664ac.bin )
Question:
1) What is the procedure/order to install the patch set?
2) Where (in which directory) should I put the 3 Patchset files and which commando should be used here (opathc apply)?
Thank you!

> - p8559467_10204_MS_WINX8664.zip

That one is for updates 10.2.0.<4 to 10.2.0.4. Since you are already on 10.2.0.4 that one is no more necessary.
> 1) What is the procedure/order to install the patch set?

See Note 1137346 - Oracle 10.2.0: Patches/patch collections for Oracle 10.2.0.4
Basically you will
- patch Opatch
- unzip the patch to a directory where <sid>adm has access
- stop all Oracle Services
- then execute opatch apply

Installing Patch Set 16

I've completed the installation of Oracle Forms developer and forms server 6i Patch Set 16, on top of an older version of forms developer . I was hoping that I could verify that the patch was correctly applied.
Is it safe to assume that patch set 16 has been completely applied, if the installation completed successfully and the version within "ifrun60.exe" is 6.0.8.25? Is there anywhere else that I should check?
I was confident that the patch set had been correctly applied, until I took a look at the release notes that lived in ....
start --> all programs --> Oracle forms 6i --> release note - PDF format
these release notes read to the effect of patch set 15, not patch set 16.
Thank you in advance for your help....

How to check amsilent file in Sun Access manager patch or redeploying WAR's

h1. How to check amsilent file in Sun Access manager patch or redeploying WAR's
I had a hard time getting all the passwords correct, so I wrote a shell (bash) script that uses most passwords and other parameters in searches and queries. It let's you know before you start if a value is wrong. It does not change anything, only queries.
h2. One pitfall I found ...
during the postinstall of patch 05. I told Sun about it, but I suspect it was too late and is also an issue with patch 06:
Look at the documentation regarding amconfig and the amsilent file:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2137/adsav?l=en&q=amconfig&a=view
Two problems that are clear to me now:
1. ADMINPASSWD in practice, this password is used for cn=puser, not amadmin as it says. Perhaps there is something that makes them the same. It was the same for me, so it probably does not matter.
2. AS81_ADMINPASSWD is not the same as ADMINPASSWD using either my definition or the document's definition. However, in the amsilent template, it is set like this, which I found is incorrect and the cause of my recent hair loss:
<blockquote>AS81_ADMINPASSWD="$ADMINPASSWD"</blockquote>
Also, this one if you use the web server:
<blockquote>WL8_PASSWORD="$ADMINPASSWD"</blockquote>
Delete the $ADMINPASSWD and replace it with the password for the app/web server.
h2. The Script.
It tests for the above problem, but I just realized it does not check $ADMINPASSWD. If that is set incorrectly in your amsilent, you'll get errors immediately from amconfig, so no big deal. If you make improvements, please post a reply!
Paste this into a file named checkamsilent. LDAP and appserver must be running. It reads /opt/SUNWam/amsilent. Run it as root or use sudo:
sudo ./checkamsilent
#!/usr/bin/bash
        echo "This will test several important parameters of the amsilent file "
        echo "run this as root."

Installing patch set 9.0.4.2

I'm trying to install the patch set 9.0.4.2 over our single-box installation of 9.0.4.1. I launch the installer with:
/mnt/cdrom/runInstaller
But I get this error:
There are no patches that need to be applied from the patchset Oracle Collaboration Suite patch set 9.0.4.2.
Do I have to do something special when it's a single-box installation ? I didn't saw any special instructions in the documentation.
Thanks.

Installation of Patch Set 9.2.0.7 on Windows XP Pro SP2 fails

When I tried to apply patch set 9.2.0.7 to my 9.2.0.5 installation on a computer with MS Windows XP Pro SP2, shortly after the selection of the target Oracle home directory the installer told me to shut down a large number of Windows processes (like RAS, RPC, etc., about 30 in total) that are not related at all to the installation.
Am I getting anything wrong? Or is this a bug (as I would suspect)?

You are facing an annoying problem with Oracle installation on Windows.
It seems, some files are locked by
other processes than the Installer process.
The following workaround worked (for me):
Temporarily remove the reference to the Oracle Home at system startup
1. Rename the Oracle Home \bin directory to \bin_save
2. Reboot the system
3. Rename the bin_save directory back to bin again
4. Start patch installation again

We just applied the patch set 4.0.2.00.07 on our TEST environment APEX4.0.
Now I can't run the sample application. When I run the application, login using either the admin or the demo user with the #lower_case_workspace_name#", the browser is generating below error message:
ORA-06550: line 2, column 8: PLS-00201: identifier 'CUSTOM_AUTH' must be declared ORA-06550: line 2, column 1: PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Error ERR-10460 Unable to run authentication credential check function.
The sample application works fine on our DEV environment APEX 4.0.0.00.46 *without* the patch set 4.0.2.00.07.
Does anyone have an idea how to resolve this
Thanks

Varad -
I see that these functions are missing on the TEST environment parsing schema. I will have our DBA rectify the issue.
Thanks,
DP

Oracle Application Server 10g R3 with patch set 10.1.3.5.0

Hi All,
Can anyone help me on this, When I install Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) and patch set 10.1.3.5.0 on Linux. I am not able to find forms and reports container.
This version doesn't support forms and reports or I have go OAS 10g R2 (10.1.2.0.2) with patch set 3 (10.1.2.3.0). What is the difference between these two releases.
Please help me.
Regards,

Hi James,
1)Yes it supports IE 8 .Please review the below link for certification details on browers :-
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/as-certification-r2-101202-095871.html#BAJGCBEA
     Note: Oracle Application Server supports only those browsers.
2)Forms only support Windows 7 32 bit only.
    Please refer to the note:1292919.1 "Certification of Oracle Developer Suite 10g (10.1.2) on Windows 7 (32-bit)"
3)Could you provide more information of JVM because when you install 10gR2 it has JDK and JRE present in it.
Regards,
Prakash.
