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.

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

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.

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.

Oracle CPU patch for 10.20.4

Hello,
Here is my DB version.
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.4.0 Production
TNS for Solaris: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
I am using SUNOS SPARC 64 bit server. I am going to apply JAN 2010 CPU patch. In the README.html file, i see one step as below.
If CPUOct2009 has not been applied, ensure that MLR (Merge Label Request) bugs 9054847 and 9054851 have been applied.
My question is, how do i ensure that, MLR has been already applied? Any help is highly appreciated.

If patches 9054847 and 9054851 have not been applied, you will need to apply them before proceeding to apply the CPU patch. Pl see the README files of the two patches for install instructions.

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.

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.

CPU Patch related question

Hi all,
We are using Oracle 9.2.0.6 on RHEL4 64 bit
What is the use of CPU patch.Ealier we are using Sun Solaris server but after migrating to rhel, we are getting problem in one of the applicaion module.
but i don't know whether we are haing any cpu patch applied on the sun server.
and which patch should i applied for oracle 9.2.0.6 and how to apply it.
Does the steps to apply the CPU patch is same as it is applying the patchset of 9.2.0.6.
Please suggest me.

As CPU's are security patches (which you can get from Metalink), did you even consider visiting Metalink?
You would have found
https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:10:5691407109246679955::::ALLTEXT,ANYTEXT,EXCTEXT,NONTEXT,KNOWLEDGE,PRODUCT_ID,PLATFORM_ID,SS,ST,NUMHITS,FILTCRIT,FILTCRITVAL:CPU,,,,TRUE,,,0,DR,100,2,Support.CriticalPatchUpdates
Metalink answers all questions on CPU.
You should use available resources, as per the Forums Etiquette post, PRIOR to asking them here, forcing volunteers to summarize or abstract information which IS already on your doorstep.
And you would have noticed you need 9.2.0.8 to apply CPU's.
I also suggest you only ask questions after you have done some research. You shouldn't ask questions like this, and they don't deserve an answer. You can find the answer yourself with little effort.
You seem to think the only thing you need to know to work as a DBA is how to use this forum to ask all of your doc questions. You won't get far this way.

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.

open issues/questions:
Open Issues:
1. What is Oracle's recommendation about upgrading 10.1.3.5 vs 10.1.3.4 (CPU Patch support length). Also CPU Patch support policy for BAM 10.1.3.3.1 and B2B 10.1.2.3.
2. Any MLRs to apply after upgrading SOA/BPEL/WSM/BAM/B2B 10.1.3.5 ?
3. Interoperability of OWSM 10.1.3.4, BAM 10.1.3.3.1, B2B 10.1.2.3 and SOA/BPEL 10.1.3.5. Can they co-exist or must they(one or more) be in same release level?
