Critical Patch Update Jan 2005

Hi,
We have Oracle 9.2.0.5. We have applied the patches for Security Alert #68. If we don't apply the CPU Jan 2005, will our Oracle system be vulnerable to any known security issues? Because of other issues, we are planning skip this CPU and apply the next one that is due in April.
Thanks,
Sanjeev

You should have 3 Oracle homes with a 9iAS R1 installation. The default database is based on 8i and that is what the 8.1.7.4 patch is about. If you use a newer database with 9iAS, then you need to install the appropiate db patch.
806 is where you have Forms and Reports.
iSuites is where Apache and mod_plsql live.

Critical Patch Update - July 2005

Is there someone tell me the features of this new patch????
Which is the reason of this update???
My Oracle release is 9.2.1.0.1
Sorry for my english!!!!

Hi,
Are you sure about your Oracle version 9.2.1.0.1 ?
By the way, all doc about this critical patch are on metalink, see note 311034.1.

Need to confirm to apply critical patch update - Jan 2006

Hi all,
I've oracle 10g release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) installed, and i would like to apply the critical path on it. Is that possible if I go head apply the critical path on it or I have to install the Oracle 10g R2 Companion CD first and then apply the critical path?
thanks in advance?

Hello,
To install the CPU you only need opatch and perl.
In 10g R2 both are installed with the database.
You can find Opatch on your $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch.
Perl ( at least in my Linux Box ) is in $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/
It is not necessary to install the companion CD.

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.

Critical Patch Update to EM Repository DB

The document titled, 'Oracle Critical Patch Update April 2005 Pre-Installation Note for Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control' (Doc ID: 301049.1) lists repository DB patches by repository DB version in Table 2. This table starts with version 9.2.0.5. However, the Grid Control product installs, by default, with a 9.0.1.5 database. I'm not sure if I'm understanding correctly but the table does not list 9.0.1.5 so I don't know which databases patches need applied to a 9.0.1.5 DB.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Never mind, the authors revised the document and accounted for the omission. This issue has been resolved.

Jan 2008 Critical Patch Update

Is the Jan 2008 Critical Patch Update required for 9206?
Thanks,
JerryMander

Patches require the most recent or terminal release, so 9.2.0.8
You should verify whether you can install the CPU against 9.2.0.6 by reading the installation instructions.

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

Can you help me please?

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

Not receiving Critical Patch Update E-mail Notification Alerts - used to

I am no longer receiving the Security Alert Email Notifications for the Oracle Critical Patch Updates. Also, the instructions on the OTN web page are no longer valid (no longer a Opt-In category). I have the box checked to receive the emails, but for some reason they are no longer being sent. I have checked my "Junk and SPAM" mail folders - not there and they are not being filtered by our company email program. I have a non-technical SR opened with support, but they are not understanding the issue.

Thanks for any assistance.

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

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.

Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory - January 2013

Hi all,
11.2.0.3
Oracle Critical Patch Update - January 2013
I am confused about CPU, PSU, SPU, USP. I am reading the docs and it seems they are same thing being rambled?
Which of them is the most important to apply?
Thanks,
PetraK

Thanks gotti and fahd
I already ask the support and he gave me docs to follow. But the more I am confused with lots of added process.
Can you validate if the process is correct? My Goal is just to comply with our IT Sec Auditor to apply the latest patch. The auditor does not even know what is the name of the patch as long as it the current updates. So I think he is referring to PSU or SPU or CPU.
This is the process I got from support:
1 Appy Oracle Database Patch Set Update (11.2.0.3.8)
    1.1 Download and install latest RDA and run and send the output.
    1.2 Download and install latest OPatch and list the current inventory.
    1.3 Check java version
    1.4 Check and Resolve PSU conflict
    1.5 Backup the current OracleHome as "root"
    1.6 Stop Listener, EM, and all DB Instances
    1.7 Apply PSU
    1.8 Resolve errors if any.
End.
So It seems I only need to apply PSU? which is 11.2.0.3.8?

There are no CPUs for XE edition and the downloadable version is not patched either.
If security is an issue, you'll need to pay up for Standard Edition.
If it was the Windows-only issue from that CPU that is your concern, the other option is to go to XE on Linux.
