Can i install 10.2.0.4 patch set 14 on my client when SERVER is at 10.2.0.4

======================================================
Can i install 10.2.0.4 patch set 14 on my client when SERVER is at 10.2.0.4 patchset 5?
======================================================
We have a customer with DB on windows-2003 64 bit with following homes.
At Server version:-
DB version is 10.2.0.4 patchset 5,
client1 is at 10.2.0.1.(patchset i am not sure)
Client2 is at 10.2.0.4 patchset 5.
Customer running some sqls which are taking more time from CLIENT2(10.2.0.4 patchset5) than CLIENT1(10.2.0.1). offcourse both CLIENTS connecting
same DB. we identified a bug(6350579). This bug was resolved in 10.2.0.4 patch 14(7677781).
Now my question is Can i apply this patch only at client side with out applying at DB level?
I mean i will create one more new client called CLINET3 (with 10.2.0.4 and i will install 10.2.0.4 patchset14) and then run the SQLs from new client CLIENT3. is this supported method or not?
Reason being customer does not want to install 10.2.0.4 patchset14 at DB since Customer is happy with DB performance.
We are getting problem only when we connect to DB from cleint 10.2.0.4 patchset5. if we connect to DB from Client 10.2.0.1, SQL performance is very good.
Please advise me on this.
Regards
Nagendra.

You can upgrade your client with the latest patchset/bug fix (if you have tested it on some other machine and found that your issue has been resolved) but be prepared to handle any unusual errors that might arise due to this combination.
Personally, I never prefer having a client running at a higher version than the server but there are some situations where we need to and we need to make sure that, even though Oracle must have tested certain scenarios, we do not run into errors. So test, test and test before changing anything in production.

  • Can any one tell me how to install flash player on powerbookg4.i actully uninstall it to upgrade it but now i can not install new one.it always says get flash player for powerpc when i try to install it after downloading.it is 10.5.8 version

    can any one tell me how to install flash player on powerbookg4.i actully uninstall it to upgrade it but now i can not install new one.it always says get flash player for powerpc when i try to install it after downloading.it is 10.5.8 version

    Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
    The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • HT4759 I can not install app's from the app store on my phone,and when i try, i get a message tells me (cannot connect to itunes store) that happened after i updated it to "IOS6" . it's a "IPhone4 S"

    I can not install app's from the app store on my phone,and when i try, i get a message tells me (cannot connect to itunes store) that happened after i updated it to "IOS6" . it's a "IPhone4 S"

    Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it.  So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID).  If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

  • Problem installing 9.2.0.8 patch set noninteractively

    I am attempting to automate the installation of the Oracle 9i client on a Windows XP platform. The client will include the 9.2.0.1 base client with the 9.2.0.8 patch set applied to it. The silent installation of the base client works as it should. Then I initiate the installation of the Patch Set with the command
    z:\Patches\Server9208\Disk1\Install\Setup.exe -silent -waitforcompletion -responsefile z:\rspfiles\patch9208.rsp
    where patch9208.rsp is a copy of the response file distributed with the patch set and modified for our organization. The OUI opens properly and transfers control to the background task. All requested products are installed. However, at the end of the installation, I am presented with a request to “Please press Enter to exit…”. Is there any way to automate the response to this message or suppress the message. We do not want to require any user response when we distribute the Oracle client to the
    PC’s.

    Hm, can you try adding the -nowait option?

  • Can't install addon after i update patch

    Hi..
    a month ago i have basic SAP B1 2005B (SP 0, PL 0)
    and my addon run normal.
    because SAP not running stable, we decide to update our SAP to PL 35 (SP 0), the CD come from our vendor.
    But when SAP updated, SAP can run stable. But i cant use the addons.
    We try to reinstall the addons (fixedasset and copy express), but didn't work..
    If we reinstall Copy Express, the error like :
    "Copy express addon can only be installed in SAP Business One"
    and if we reinstall fixedasset, the install succed, but when we start the addon, sound like this:
    "this application has failed to start because BFFramework.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem".
    We try reinstall, but still cant start.
    we try contact our vendor, but until now they cant give us the answer.
    thanks for help us

    Dony,
    If you have upgraded SBO 2005 B to Patch 35 it is quite possible that the AddOn is a older version that came with the CD.  Please make sure you get the latest version of the AddOn for both fixedasset and copy express.
    You should ask you vendor to download the latest version of the Addon (if available) from the SAP portal.
    Suda

  • Enterprise Manager not working after installed 10.2.0.4 Patch Set 6810189

    I installed the 6810189 patch for Windows 32-bit and now I can't bring up Enterprise Manager (I don't have Grid Control, just plain jane EM). Any ideas on why this would be?
    Thanks,
    ivalum21

    Haha, yeah it was running. I did the EMCTL STATUS DBCONSOLE command, and it gave me the web address for EM, so I used that and it is working.
    Apparently it uses "https" now and not "http."
    Does anyone know, did Oracle change that for 10.2.x? I didn't realize EM used a secure connection...

  • Can I install Oracle XE on a system that has the Instant Client installed?

    Hello,
    After installing Oracle XE (Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 for Windows x64) on my Windows 8.1 64-bit system, I can not connect to the "Get started" url (http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950).
    The output of "Start database" shows:
    The OracleXETNSListener-service is being started.
    The OracleServiceXE-service is being started.
    The OracleServiceXE-service has been started.
    The OracleXETNSListener service refuses to start. Could the presence of the Instant Client have something to do with this?
    The Instant Client is installed in C:\Apps\Oracle, with a tnsnames.ora in C:\Apps\Oracle\network\admin.
    Oracle XE is installed in C:\Apps\OracleXE.
    There is a system wide environment variable ORACLE_HOME, pointing to C:\Apps\Oracle.
    In the registry under HKLM\Oracle there are keys KEY_odac, KEY_ORACLE_HOME, KEY_XE, ODP.NET and OracleMTSRecoveryService.
    HKLM\Oracle\KEY_ORACLE_HOME\ORACLE_HOME = C:\Apps\Oracle
    HKLM\Oracle\KEY_XE\ORACLE_HOME = C:\Apps\OracleXE\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server
    Thanks,
    George

    XE was the last installed Oracle product. I installed it on my development laptop, so I can use an Oracle database when not connected to the company network.
    The instant client was broken by the XE install. Uninstalling Xe fixes this, even without a reboot.
    The output of tnsping is:

  • I can't install the new software 8.2 wireless from the phone only when I connect to my laptop

    need help to install the new software 8.2 wireless from my phone

    Howdy Punya,
    It sounds like you are unable to get your phone updated by downloading it directly to the device, and it only works when you connect it to iTunes. I would recommend you use the troubleshooting in the following article with different troubleshooting depending on the issue that it is having:
    Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update
    If that does not resolve, or doesn't address the issue, can you elaborate on what is happening when you try?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    Sterling

  • Can't install the second DVD applications - no set up icon

    I have Creative Suites CS4 for Mac. First DVD installed perfectly. But the second DVD only has two folders, Extensions and Payloads, and no set up icon/function. I have contacted technical support and their solution was to send me a whole new set of DVDs, but it's still the same problem. Their other solutions did not work either. Help! How do I install my second set of applications on the Mac without the set-up icon?

    I have a MacBook MacOSX 10.5.8  - 2 GB memory.
    I put in the first DVD and clicked setup for easy install. The applications that were listed on that DVD (Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Acrobat) installed. When it finished installing, it said Thanks and ejected the disk. But I was still missing InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Flash. I then put in the second DVD. Nothing happened.
    I called technical suppoirt and they were no help both times.
    Thanks for any help.
