Critical Patch update directories collected on the server.

Hello Friends
I had a quick question to you all. I have few directories of old critical patches unzipped on the server which were to be applied. They were applied as usual process and the activity was successfull.
My question is, is it OK to remove all those patch folders which were unzipped from the zip file. Say of CPUJan2008, CPUApr2008 ..... and even older than them.
All views and answeres are welcome.
Thanks
Shiva

The path would look like this
$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/<patchnumber> <patchnumber -> 4562807>
$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/<patchnumber> <patchnumber -> 6864068>
The folders I want to remove are the ones as patch numbers. I think this makes things clear as to what I am looking at. This directories with numbers as there name I want to remove. This is so as they are no longer required, they have been unzipped and already applied.
Thanks
Shiva

Problem in applying Jul05 Critical Patch Update(4445852) for win200 server

Hi,
Anyone know the below problem, recently oracle had released the Jul05 Critical Patch Updates. I managed to download the patch (4445852) and latest Opatch version from the oracle metalink website. When i tried to run %ORACLE_HOME\OPatch\opatch apply, i encountered the below error message. Anyone encountered the below message, please let me know the resolution. Any comments and advise are welcome.
Thank You..

Whenever I've encountered this problem, I've renamed the dll that had errors to dll.o. Not a good idea for rolling back, BUT for me there is no going back. :)
However, I found the following on MetaLink, you may want to give this a try.
The best way I have found to avoid these cannot write to DLL errors is:
1. Download listdlls.exe from:
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/listdlls.shtml
2. Shutdown all Oracle services in services panel
3. reboot machine
4. listdlls > todaysdll.txt
5. grep -i "ora" todaysdll.txt
(If you do not have a grep utility [i.e. GNU web site] you can search the file with a text editor)
6. If there are any hits, shutdown whatever program/service that owns it and repeat steps 4 & 5.

Hi,
I have some doubts reg CPU patches.In CPU patches we need to apply three patches
1)Oracle E-Business Suite Database Homes
ebiz-database
2)Oracle E-Business Suite Oracle Fusion Middleware and Developer Suite Homes
Forms and reports homes i mean...10.1.2 and 10.1.3(web server) homes
3)Patches to Apply to Oracle E-Business Suite
In this i dont understand for which component in ebiz?

Hi,
1)Oracle E-Business Suite Database Homes
ebiz-databaseThese patches are usually applied using opatch to the $RDBMS_ORACLE_HOME.
2)Oracle E-Business Suite Oracle Fusion Middleware and Developer Suite Homes
Forms and reports homes i mean...10.1.2 and 10.1.3(web server) homesThese patches are applied to $8.0.6_ORACLE_HOME and $IAS_ORACLE_HOME
3)Patches to Apply to Oracle E-Business SuiteThese patches are applied using adpatch.
Please make sure you follow the steps in the patches README files before applying any of the patches.
In this i dont understand for which component in ebiz?All the components above are included in Oracle E-Business Suite installation.

Oracle Critical Patch Update July 2009 for Oracle BEA Releases

Hi All,
Researching in metalink about CPU's for WLS 9.1 I found Oracle Support Note #835668.1. Table 9 of this document
lists minimum product requirements for WebLogic server.
According to this table WLS 9.1 should have a minimum version of 9.2MP3.
I am confident that WLS 9.1 and WLS 9.2 are completely different WLS versions and there is no upgrade path from WLS 9.1 to WLS 9.2.
Is this table misprinted or is it required to replace all WLS 9.1 installations with WLS 9.2 installations?
What is this table trying to indicate?
Please assist.
It would be very helpful.
Thanks.

Thanks

All,
I am trying to download:

The July 2012 Patch informational notes are at:

And I am trying to download the Fusion Middleware patch (as JRockit is included in Fusion Middleware, it seems like).
I go to download from the following URL, as stated in the July Patch Release:

Installing Critical Patch Update

Hi All,
I need to Install Critical Patch Update Jan 2005 on my database server. I had never Installed it earlier so need to know what are the steps to be followed for the same. I checked with the readme available with the patch but nothing much is there about installation procedure.
Also can it be installed on Oracle 9.2.0.5.0 ?
Thanks in Advanced
Bhupinder

Follow these steps:
Find your OS version & make, 32/64 bit architecture?
Find your Oracle DB version.
Based on that find out which patches to be downloaded from Metalink.
With patch comes the readme, which provides step by step guide for patching. I don't understand why you said "..nothing much is there about installation procedure.." as it contains all steps in detail.
Mainly using opatch, you have 3 steps:
1. Check with lsinventory about any previous patch implementation.
2. Use "opatch apply" .. to apply the patch.
3. You can rollback patches.. in case of any error.
Also check any Pre-requisites for a particular patch.
If you didn't use it before, you have to download latest opatch utility, which is available in Metalink.

Oracle Critical Patch Update - CPUJul2010

Based on Oracle documentation 'Oracle® Database Server Version 10.2.0.4 Patch 38' CPU for Windows 2008 x64, the following requirements need to be met;
1.1 System Requirements
The following are the system requirements for this bundle patch:
* Hardware requirement: AMD64, or Intel Extended memory (EM64T)
* Operating system requirement:
o Windows Server 2003, Standard x64 Edition
o Windows Server 2003, Enterprise x64 Edition
o Windows Server 2003, Datacenter x64 Edition
o Windows Server 2003 R2, Standard x64 Edition
o Windows Server 2003 R2, Enterprise x64 Edition
o Windows Server 2003 R2, Datacenter x64 Edition
o Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
o Windows Server 2008 Standard x64 Editions
o Windows Server 2008 Enterprise x64 Editions
o Windows Server 2008 Data Center x64 Editions
o Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 or later x64 Edition
Does the Windows Server 2008 x64 Editions imply that R2 is included? Windows Server 2008 R2 was not included in the previous patch.

OCS Critical Patch Update July

We're having a heck of a time figuring out which patches are needed for our recent installation of OCS version 10.1.2.0.0. We've not patched since install, and are required to apply the July Critical Patch Update (CPU). Anyone out there has done this latest patch? If so, could you share what patches were used for a 2 server (infra/mid) install. Thank you.

This is what I've found so far about the patch situation
We are running OCS 10.1.2.0.0 which comes with Database version 10.1.0.4.2 and Application Server 10.1.2.0.2
To fully apply the July OCS CPU, it's requiered to upgrade OCS to 10.1.2.3 (this is a list of about 13 individual patches). Then resume patching for July CPU 93 - 5 patches). A total of about 18 - 20 patches. Does this seem ridiculous to anyone else?

Cpu critical patch update

Please
Can anyone tell me, what is the function of a cpu patch?
I have installed 2 patches one for 9 an other for 9i, but I do not understand why this patch must/should be installed.

Perhaps the description of CPU can help you understand what is CPU about.
Oracle Critical Patch Update - April 2007
Description
A Critical Patch Update is a collection of patches for multiple security vulnerabilities. It also includes non-security fixes that are required (because of interdependencies) by those security patches. Due to the threat posed by a successful attack, Oracle strongly recommends that fixes are applied as soon as possible. This Critical Patch Update contains 36 new security fixes across all products.

Determine which security patch or Critical patch update has been applied

Hi,
Anyone know how to determine which security patch or Critical patch update has been applied to the database? For Unix and also Win 2000k database server..
Thank You

Use the lsinventory command of opatch (Oracle's patch
installation tool) to list the patches installed.
If you have Perl and opatch installed, this is simply
a matter of typing:
opatch lsinventory
from the command line.
For further information on opatch, see metalink note
293369.1
Hope this helps.

Error when try to install CPU - Critical Patch Update with OPatch

Hello gurus,
I´m faccing with a problem... After I update the patch set to 10.2.0.4 and install the interim patches for Linux X86_64 now I´m trying to import/install the Oracle Critical Patch Update - Oracle CPU patch!!
I´m trying to import it with OPatch, and I already update this OPatch tool for the last version even before proceeding with installation of Oracle CPU!
I've tried to import it by two methods. The first I tried to apply as described in the relevant README file inside of CPU patch directory, and I used in this case the following command:
redhatsap:orajmd> unzip p9119226_10204_<platform>.zip
redhatsap:orajmd> cd 9119226
redhatsap:orajmd> opatch napply -skip_subset -skip_duplicate
opatch: Command not found
After that previous error, I tried again but now with other method that is described in note 839182 (Installing patches using OPatch) with the following command:
redhatsap:orajmd> cd 9119226
redhatsap:orajmd> $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch apply

Hello again Joe Bo... and all of others,
I´m with a doubt after installing the CPU patch, which is related to post-installation tasks. I´m in this momment install the SAP System and it was during this installation that sapinst asked me to install the database and all other activities after this installation that are related to the database, for example, the updating of database patches.
At README file in chapter 3.3.2 Post Installation Instructions is described the following:
After installing the patch, perform the following actions:
1.Load modified .sql files into the database, as explained in Section 3.3.2.1.
2.Recompile views in the database, if necessary, as explained in Section 3.3.2.2.
In this momment, as you certainly know, I still don´t have a database because the sap system isn´t yet totally installed (I´m in phase 8 of sapinst wizard).
I only have to do this "Post Installation Tasks" when I have a database, this database will be created after that phase 8 - so now I don´t need to perform the post steps... am I right?
Thanks in advance,
João Dimas - Portugal
