  • CPU patch July 2010 on Oracle 11.1.0.7 database

    Hi,
    I want to install the July2010 CPU patch (9655014) on a 11.1.0.7 database which was initially created with version 11.1.0.6.
    The README file of the patch states the following about recompiling views:
    3.2.2.2 Recompiling Views in the Database
    You may skip this section if you have recompiled views for this database during the installation of a previous CPU or if the database was created with Release 11.1.0.6 or later.
    So I assumed that I do not need to recompile the views but a little further in the README file I read:
    If you want to check whether view recompilation has already been performed for the database, execute the following statement.
    SELECT * FROM registry$history where ID = '6452863';
    If the view recompilation has been performed, this statement returns one or more rows. If the view recompilation has not been performed, this statement returns no rows.
    When I execute the select it returns no rows. So this is confusing. Should I perform a view recompilation or not?
    And when I execute recompile_precheck_jan2008cpu.sql (strange name for a July 2010 CPU) it says:
    SQL> @recompile_precheck_jan2008cpu.sql
    Running precheck.sql...
    Number of views to be recompiled :1969
    Number of objects to be recompiled :4019
    Please follow the README.txt instructions for running viewrecomp.sql
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    thanks in advance.
    regards,
    Ivan

    Short answer: you dont need to run view_recompile_jan2008cpu.sql
    Long answer:
    >
    SELECT * FROM registry$history where ID = '6452863';
    If the view recompilation has been performed, this statement returns one or more rows. If the view recompilation has not been performed, this statement returns no rows.
    When I execute the select it returns no rows. So this is confusing. Should I perform a view recompilation or not?
    >
    You will only get an entry in registry$history if you had a database that you had actually run the view_recompile_jan2008cpu.sql script which inserts a row into the table at the end of the script:
    view_recompile_jan2008cpu.sql
    Rem =======================================================================
    Rem Insert values for patch into registry.
    Rem =======================================================================
    INSERT INTO registry$history (action_time, action, id, comments)
            values ( SYSTIMESTAMP, 'CPU', &&PATCH_NUMBER, '&&PATCH_DESC' );
    COMMIT; In your case, you will get no entries in the table BUT you do not have to run the view recompilation so long as the database was created using a patched Oracle home of a release where Oracle says the view recompilation is not required.
    >
    SQL> @recompile_precheck_jan2008cpu.sql
    Running precheck.sql...
    Number of views to be recompiled :1969
    >
    This script has a very simple logic that just generates count of views and dependant objects that would need recompilation. The selection criteria does not include actually checking whether you actually need to apply the view recompilation script.
    You can test this yourself:
    Case#1: Run the recompile_precheck_jan2008cpu.sql on a database where you have applied the view recompilation script. You will find the count shows a non-zero value.
    SQL> col action_time format a32
    SQL> col version format a15
    SQL> col version format a15
    SQL> select action_time, version, id from registry$history where ID=6452863;
    ACTION_TIME                      VERSION                 ID
    24-JUL-10 12.52.15.390000 PM                        6452863
    SQL> @recompile_precheck_jan2008cpu.sql
    Running precheck.sql...
    Number of views to be recompiled :1637
    Number of objects to be recompiled :3487
    Please follow the README.txt instructions for running viewrecomp.sql
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.Case#2: Create a new database using a version that does not require the view recompilation patch. Run the recompile_precheck_jan2008cpu.sql. You will find the view count shows a non-zero value even though you do not need to recompile the views as mentioned in the Oracle patch notes.

  • APR 2010 CPU - Patch 9032412 fails error code 73

    I am trying to install the apr 2010 cpu updates for apps and db servers. As indicated in doc 985896.1 I am attempting to install patch 9032412 prior to installing the 9352191 cpu patch. When I try to install this on the DB using the latest version of OPatch I get the following error:
    ===========================================================================================
    Running make for target ioracle
    ApplySession adding interim patch '9032412' to inventory
    Verifying the update...
    Inventory check failed: Patch ID 9032412 is NOT registered in Oracle Home inventory.
    Files check OK: Files from Patch ID 9032412 are present in Oracle Home.
    ApplySession failed: ApplySession failed in system modification phase... 'Verification of patch failed: Patch is not found in the Inventory. '

    Checking if OPatch needs to invoke 'make' to restore some binaries...
    OPatch was able to restore your system. Look at log file and timestamp of each file to make sure your system is in the state prior to applying the patch.
    The following warnings have occurred during OPatch execution:
    1) OUI-67620:Interim patch 9032412 is a superset of the patch(es) [  6600051 ] in the Oracle Home
    2) OUI-67124:Inventory check failed: Patch ID 9032412 is NOT registered in Oracle Home inventory.
    OPatch failed with error code 73
    ===========================================================================================
    opatch lsinventory -all & -detail are successful.
    I performed the detach home and attach home steps successfully and this made no difference.
    Anyone out there that can shed some light on this perhaps? Thanks

    I have not opened an SR yet, looks like I am going to have to do so.
    I have run the detach home and rebuilt the inventory and attached home using the command
    runInstaller -silent -invPtrLoc “/oracle10/oracle/oraInst.loc” -attachHome ORACLE_HOME=”/oracle10/oracle” ORACLE_HOME_NAME=”Ora10gHome”
    Now inventory is there, but it shows no intermediate patches listed. When I try to apply the 9032412 patch I still get the same error "Inventory check failed: Patch ID 9032412 is NOT registered in Oracle Home inventory." and there is no mention of the 6600051 patch anymore so I don't think it is the issue. For some reason it can't seem to update the inventory.
    There is now a 9032412 directory in the $ORACLE_HOME/.patch_directory however. The etc/oraInventory & $ORACLE_HOME/inventory have write permissions. What else have I missed?
    Thanks again for your help.

    Since 10.2.0.4 has been release much before the CPU patch you're talking about, the patchset does not include it. You'll have to install the CPU separately.
    By the way, why stopped on CPUOCT2009 and not go for the latest one CPUJAN2009 ?
    Since CPU are cumulatives, you could install only the latest one.

  • Oracle cpu patch apr/july/oct/jan

    Hi Guys,
    Need you advise here.
    Do you guys always apply the cpu patch upon released by oracle? Is it a good practise to do so?
    Does CPU patch only consist of security fix or also bug fix?
    thanks

    It is recommended to apply CPU patches as soon as possible. CPU patches only fix security issues, they do not contain other bug fixes.

  • CPU Patches to EBS

    Hello :
    I have successfully upgraded the system to latest patchsets. The database is already on 11g. The only thing which is pending now is the CPU Patches.
    I know that the Database and the Application tier CPU patch is cumulative where as the EBS suite patch is not cumulative.
    For me to apply the EBS suite CPU's I need to know the current CPU patch applied to it. If I know this then I can probably list all the CPU patches that needs to be applied to the system.Is there any way or query that I can use to get this information.
    Please advice any good reference material to carry out this patching. I want to merge all the EBS patches together and then apply it in one shot.
    Regards,
    Bala

  • Oracle 10g CPU patch

    Oracle 10g on Windows server 2003. I need to do CPU patch. I follow the patch instructions, but I have some questions:
    1. back up %oracle_home% directory. Is this just to copy whole directory to different disk?
    2. clean shutdown all Oracle services: I know this includes db, listener, db control, anything else?
    3. The Db has ASP application on the top. How to shutdown application? what components should I look at?
    Webserver that uses Oracle client in the mid-tier?
    4. What does ODBC application mean?
    5.What does this mean? "make sure no applications are using the driver sqora32.dll"
    6.What does "Oracle Instant Client" mean? Is this regular Oracle client tool installed on application server? I guess not.
    Appreciate any help.

    My question: Is this just to copy to different disk OR you have other way to do it?It is a suggestion that will allow you to recover. In some cases (non-production) I will skip this step.
    In production, I will ask the Backup team to make an extra backup of the entire ORACLE_HOME so they can do a quick restore if I mess up. (Then I'll be extra careful not to mess up.)
    And yes, if you are comfortable that a disk copy will be sufficient to do a complete restore, then that should be OK as well.

    I don't have ASM or ClusterwareThe you probably don't need to worry about it.
    If you have any other Oracle stuff (BI Suite, SOA Suite, etc) that tries to log on to the database, these must be made aware of the outage - usually by shutting them down. Even if they are not on the same server.

    3.What does this mean? "make sure no applications are using the driver sqora32.dll"
    My question is where and how can I find this DDL?
    Are you seriously saying you do not have access to an OS file-search tool?
    At least one copy is in ORACLE_HOME/bin

    4. What does "Oracle Instant Client" mean? Is this regular Oracle client tool installed on application server? I guess not.
    My question is that is this tool to get installed on Oracle server or application server? My vendor installed the Oracle server for us, how do I know if this tool got installed or not?It is a completely separate download. It is usually installed at the client, not on the server. However, since you have a vendor install, you may want to discuss this with the vendor.
    The big challenge with Instant Client is that it is not an 'install' . It is just an unzip into an arbitrary directory, and does not get recorded in the registry. So almost impossible to find without the SysAdmin's install notes.
