APPLYING CPU PATCHES

Hi Hussein:
I am planning to apply the CPU patches for my EBS instance. I know that the application server and the Database server patchsets are cumulative. So I can apply the latest CPU.But the EBS patchsets are not cumulative. In order to get the list of all the patches that needs to be applied since April 2006,I need to query AD_APPLIED_PATCHES with the EBS patch numbers since April 2006 right? Is this the right approach.
Regards,
Bala

Bala,
If your instance release is 11i then you are correct. You need to query AD_APPLIED_PATCHES (I would prefer querying AD_BUGS table) to get the list of applied patches.
In R12, CPU patches are cumulative.

  • Steps to apply cpu patch on RAC

    Hi All,
    I am applying cpu patch to rac environment first time.It is a 2 node rac.Kindly let me know the methods and how to apply cpu patch on 2 node RAC.
    Regards
    Raj

    Hi user8884603,
    as Rajesh has mentioned, all info is in the readme file, but lookout specifically:
    If you can apply the patch while the DB is open or CRS is started.
    If you must apply the patch on all nodes in the cluster or only from 1 node.
    As which user specific tasks must be done.
    Hope this is helpful.
    Regards.

  • Listener not stoping while apply CPU(patch)

    Any body know the effect if i dont stop listener while apply CPU(Patch), i dont want to stop listener which is serving 30more dbs also....

    You are heading for a train wreck.
    If the CPU is going to patch the listener code (did you read the docs to see if it is?) then it is going to affect all 30 instances.
    But then 30 instances on a single server is, by definition, a train wreck waiting to happen.
    If you are the junior DBA I'd suggest you talk to the senior DBA immediately. If you are the only DBA it is time you either called in a consultant or had a long talk with management about the concept of consolidation as you are presiding over lunacy.

  • How to apply CPU patch

    Hi...guys...
    I want to apply the CPU patch for 2-NODE RAC Database..
    Actually I never applied patches..plz can any one guide me how to apply the CPU patches for RAC...
    As per as my knowledge..
    1.apply the patch for clusterware.
    2.apply the patch for database level...
    is its right...
    Another thing is how to upgrade the 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.4 for RAC ...
    plz help me..

    Hi,
    you are right, clusterware always has to be on the same or higher patchlevel as/than the database so you will patch it first. Generally, the hardest part is finding the patch on metalink, once you have found it, there is a readme with every patch that has very detailed instructions on what to do. For CPUs and other patches, you will generally bring down services on one node, then run opatch on that node. Once it is done patching, it will tell you to restart all services on that first node and shut down services on the other node(s). Once you hit OK opatch will continue to patch the remote hosts.
    The upgrade to 10.2.0.4 will be a bit more complicated. AFAIR there is a real installer with that one and once you are done patching the software you also have to patch the database itself which means downtime.

  • Basic Steps for applying CPU Patch

    Hello,
    I'm asking for someone to please post a basic step-by-step procedure for appling an oracle cpu patch. Nothing too detailed, but something I can use as an outline.
    Thank you

    If you look in the readme.txt it will have all the steps needed and what to do if it is rac or not; but very high level:
    - shutdown the database
    - cd into the patch directory
    - issue $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch napply -skip_subset -skip_duplicate -local
    - Startup
    - run from sqlplus: catbundle.sql cpu apply
    - run utlrp.sql
    checking logs along the way

  • Database rolling upgrade cpu patch with minimal service outage

    Oracle 11gR2 Primary Instance
    Oracle 11gR2 Active Physical Standby
    Requirement of applying CPU and CVE patches with minimal downtime. I believe that I've been able to apply CPU patch to Active Standby after deferring redo transport and applying patch to active physical standby first and then performing a manual switchover to have the standby become the primary and former-primary become the standby and they apply CPU Patch there and then perform another role transition to its original role.
    Appreciate your experience with primary and active physical standby rolling upgrades/patches. Thanks

    Hello;
    I believe you are over thinking this. All you have to do on the Standby is install the patch. No switchover, no SQL. No nothing.
    The SQL will move from the Primary to the Standby.
    Check the readme for the patch closely or post the patch number if you want to confirm.
    OR
    How do you apply a Patchset,PSU or CPU in a Data Guard Physical Standby configuration [ID 278641.1]
    ( If it helps I had the same thoughts after my first Data Guard setup !! )
    If you are trying to avoid downtime entirely the switchover will take about as long as the patch.
    If you have RAC this is interesting :

    as per your reference while applying the 6880880 patch i am facing above error.Pls suggest me..
    Edited by: 982726 on Jan 18, 2013 10:08 AMYou should ALWAYS read the installation instructions that come with EVERY patch. If you had done so in this case, you would have seen that 6880880 is a patch for OPatch itself, and is NOT installed by using opatch.

  • Cpu patch step

    hi i am fresh graguate using my friend account and just got jog as dba.i am told to apply cpu patch on aix 5.3lL. I need to apply CPU July on Oracle database version 10.2.0.4. I do not have metalink access and I'm not to good in using OTN. Could someone help me with steps to apply CPU patch.
    Thank You!
    Lakshmi

    To be able to download the CPU, you need your metalink credentials. No one here can send you the patch.
    Steps for applying the patch are documented in the readme file bundled in the patch itself.

  • CPU patch for 10.2.0.4.0

    I am using oracle 10gr2.4.0,
    platform: hp-ux itanium 11.31
    i would like to apply CPU patch or PSU.
    cpu patch :8836308
    PSU patch 8833280
    will you please clarify...

    A PSU (or PatchSet Update) include the CPUs (or Critical Patch Update) and several individual patches (one off-patched) which are not included into a single CPU.
    Depending of your shop policies, PSU could be more appropriate.
    Nicolas.

  • CPU Patch Jan 08 rollback

    Hello,
    We attempted to apply CPU Patch Jan 08 to our 10.1.0.5 database and the optach hang for a over an hour. So we did a control c and got our of the opatch. Then we rollback the opatch.
    After the rollback the databases startup without errors. Now we like to know if the oracle binary is corrupted or not corrupted when we cancelled the opatch. How to check if the Oracle binary is not corrupted? Thank you.

    There are not a lot of situations where you would end up with a corrupted Oracle binary from patching. Opatch relinks with make, which moves the new binary into place with mv. If opatch rolled back successfully, then you should be back on the original version.
    This kind of extended downtime tryng to apply a patch is the reason I developed my method for staging patched Oracle binaries. It requires some work with a CPU patch, but it is not impossible, and it can save you serious sweat if downtime is intrusive at your site.
    The method is outlined on page 7 of this document:
