I asked this question before on OTN and Metalink. The answer I received was "NO"
the only support for XE is the OTN and no patchsets, CPU's for XE by Metalink.

  • Sapstart fails after installation of CPU-Patch April2009 on Oracle 10.2.0.4

    Hi Experts,
    after installing the CPU-Patch April2009 for Oracle 10.2.0.4, startsap fails with error code 12.
    Starting everything manually works (lsnrctl start, sqlplus and do startup, after that startsap works).
    When the listener and the database are running, things like R3trans -x also work without errors.
    I found a SAP-Note 97953 but I don't know if this is the solution. Some of the oracle-executables in the bin-directory have been modified. So there is a "oracle" and a "oracle0" . The timestamp indicates to me that these files were modified while implementing the CPU-Patch.
    I also checked SAP-Note 583861but with no success.
    regards
    Dirk

    Hi Markus,
    if the database ist down and I execute "R3trans -d" I'll get the following error.
    R3trans -d
    This is R3trans version 6.18 (release 710 - 08.10.07 - 13:37:00).
    unicode enabled version

    and trans.log looks like:

    If the database is up everything works. Here is the output of "R3trans -d"
    R3trans -d
    This is R3trans version 6.18 (release 710 - 08.10.07 - 13:37:00).
    unicode enabled version
    R3trans finished (0000).
    For me this all looks o.k. when the database is down R3trans won't be able to reach it and if the database is up it works. But why I can't then just execute "sapstart" ?

  • Determinating CPU patch version in 8.1.7.4. database

    How can I determinate currently installed CPU patch version in oracle 8.1.7.4 database (HP True64UNIX). (some alternativ for "opatch inventory" from higher versions of databases)
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    It's a great question about 8i...
    With Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA Tools) you can see all dll & all files which were updated (date and version, make a checkcross with CPU doc).

  • Query regarding CPU patches

    Hi,
    As per my understanding CPU patches are released every quarter for each version & realease of oracle database.
    I am using Oracle 10.2.0.3 on IBM-AIX 5.3 (64 bit).
    I checked on below link of metalink.
    Patches & Updates -> Oracle Server/Tools -> Latest Patchsets -> Latest Oracle Server/Tools Patchsets -> Then selected oracle database and OS version -> Patch Type selected as Any -> Classification selected as High/Security -> Go
    But the above gives me no CPU patch list!!!!
    So is it no mandatory that each & every quarted we will get a new CPU patch from oracle? Or am I doing any mistake in selection above?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,
    oratest

    Hi Srini,
    Thanks for your reply.
    As per the link doc, the primary support for 10.2 has been ended on July-2010, and the extended support will end on July-2013.
    And as you mentioned that CPU patches are released in extended support as well, so as of now I must see CPU patch in metalink for my database release (10.2.0.3). But I can not see any CPU patch for my version, release??
    One more thing: As per my understanding CPU patches comes under High/Security patch classification, am I right?
    Best Regards,

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 :

  • 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.
