Applying security patch to Oracle 10G on Linux

Hello,
I'm new to Oracle DBA world, need to apply security patch to Oracle 10G on Linux server, any tips and notes would be appreciated.
thanks
Sam

Manish,
1. I have to upgrade the database version from 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.4 on Linux, Is there any proper documentation which will help me out?Please refer to the following document.
Note: 454750.1 - Oracle Apps Release 12 with Oracle Database 10.2.0 interoperability notes
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=454750.1
2. What are the types of oracle database patches? what is the proper procedure to apply those kind of patches to Oracle 10g on Linux?
Most of the patches in this upgrade are database patches (which should be applied using opatch). The main upgrade patch (Patch 6810189 - 10.2.0.4 patch set) should be applied using Oracle Universal Installer (runInstaller).
Always follow the steps in the patch README file before applying any patch.
Regards,
Hussein

After installing oracle 10g on linux im getting this error

Hi,
Can any one give me any solution on i getting an error after installing oracle 10g on linux.
ERROR:-
/oraeng/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/bin/clscfg: error while loading shared libraries: libclntsh.so.10.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Failed to initialize Oracle Cluster Registry for cluster

Hi, please ensure that both 'libclntsh.so.10.1' and 'libttsh10.so' has 755 permission and owned by Oracle.
That is the critical step.
After re-execute the root.sh file
Has been known to reset the permissions from the previous step - bug in some patch releases.
Suggest OP records permissions for those two files before running root.sh Or run root.sh before setting the permissions.

How can i install oracle 10g on linux cluster

Dear all:
please advice How can i install oracle 10g on linux cluster service ..
thanks ,,

Without RAC, you can only have one instance manage the database. One instance = one set of processes communicating via IPC.
Unless you know of a way to have processes use memory-based IPC across nodes, you need to pick a node and install & run the database software on that node.

Loading data by sql loader in oracle 10g on linux

I am trying to load data in Oracle 10g on linux by using sql loader, but getting error
Problem in log showing that field length of SURNAME field is more than table field size.
Following is the error in log file of sql loader
Record 21: Rejected - Error on table TABLE1, column
SURNAME.
ORA-12899: value too large for column SURNAME (actual: 65, maximum: 64)
and it is evident from following controlfile that i am using trim to discard any space then why it is giving an error.
LOAD DATA
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE TABLE1
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
ID INTEGER EXTERNAL,
OPTION1 CHAR,
REF1 CHAR,

TITLE "TRIM(:TITLE)",
FORENAME "TRIM(:FORENAME)",
SURNAME "TRIM(:SURNAME)",
JOINT_TITLE "TRIM(:JOINT_TITLE)",
JOINT_FORENAME "TRIM(:JOINT_FORENAME)",
JOINT_SURNAME "TRIM(:JOINT_SURNAME)",
I checked the bad file and count number of characters, they are 64 characters.
When i am inserting individual record from bad file by sql loader, it is loading

Probably your database character set is multi-byte. That is %UTF8 or AL16UTF16%
Post your NLS Database Parameters value
select * from nls_database_parameters;
In General varchar2(65) by default means 65 BYTES unless
you have changed your Defalut NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS parameter from BYTE to CHAR.

Applying interim patches to Oracle 10.2.0.2

Hi,
After the CRM upgrade to CRM 2007 on oracle 10.2.0.2 on soalris 10, I need to apply interim patches to oracle 10.2.0.2.
As I am new to it, please any one send me the step by step procedure to do so. I have already taken a backup.
Regards
M Kumar

Hi,
You should read the notes, all is explained on them.
First you MUST download all the patches from SAP note 871096
Then you also read the note, where is explained how to install the patches:
Patch installation with OPatch
To install Oracle patches for Oracle Release 10.2.0.2 or 10.2.0.4, use
the Opatch version of patch 4898608 only. This is available on SAP
Service Marketplace.
The use of the OPatch version of patch 6880880 (particularly in
connection with MOPatch) is currently not released.
In this case, see OPatch Note 839182.
Patch installation with MOPatch
You must apply a relatively large number of patches for Oracle Release
10.2.0.2. Information about the patch installation using MOPatch, see
Note 1027012.
Of course, this little excerpt of the note point to other notes that you should read to get more details.

How to reconfigure Oracle-xe (Oracle 10g for linux)?

Hello!
I found this article (seems useful since I use Mandriva 2010.2):
[http://www.e-angel.net/index.php?tg=articles&idx=Print&topics=195&article=912|http://www.e-angel.net/index.php?tg=articles&idx=Print&topics=195&article=912]
I installed Oracle 10g from the file "oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm".
Then, when run ./oracle-xe start and then ./oracle-xe status I get:
LSNRCTL for Linux: Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on 29-JUL-2011 23:39:49

It does not seem ok to me.
I would love to truy to reconfigure it but if I try the command:
./oracle-xe configure
...I get:
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition is already configured
Does any body know how to reset and reconfigure Oracle 10g for Linux?
Best regards
Fredrik

it seems to be "PLSExtProc" bu default.Nope, the ORACLE_SID is taken from the environment variable when the database is started on a *nix host, windows its set up in the database service. If you want to change the ORACLE_SID, set it. See the environment setup script in OH/bin appropriate for your shell. (OH short for $ORACLE_HOME)
how to create a databaseYou mean tablespace?

Uninstall oracle 10g from Linux Red hat

is any body know the standard procedure to uninstall oracle 10g from linux red hat.

The correct answer is "Undo the changes you made during the install"
By this I mean:
Stop all of the processes
Delete the ORACLE_BASE directory (usually the one one level up from ORACLE_HOME)
Delete the oraInventory directory if it isn't inside ORACLE_BASE
Delete /etc/oratab, /etc/oraInst.loc
Delete /user/local/bin/coraenv, /user/local/bin/oraenv, /user/local/bin/dbhome
Undo any environment settings you may have modified (in .bash_profile and bashrc)
That should be just about it. That's how I usually clean out my system between installs.

What's the latest patch for oracle 10g client?

what's the latest patch for oracle 10g client? 6810189?

The same as the patch for the Oracle database of the same version and operating system. Since you didn't specify the operating system or the particular Oracle version (10g could mean 10.1 or 10.2), it's hard to be more specific.

What is the expected downtime duration ?
What is the database size ?
For a "small" database with no downtime constraint you could use Data Pump to move data.
For a "large" database with minimum downtime you could use Oracle Streams (with Enterprise Edition) or Golden Gate (separate product: needs new licensing).
You can find detailed migration/upgrade recommendations and scenarios on OTN database upgrade page:
