Difference between patch and upgrade

hi,
i need to know the exact difference between the patch that is available online and the upgradation of oracle. there is a patch 14 available for oracle 11.5.9 available. what does it do. is it similar to upgrading the oracle installation to a higher version.
please reply as soon as possible.
thank you in advance.

Would you please elaborate more. What do you mean by the patch this is available only? What is patch 14?
If you are running on 11.5.9 and want to upgrade to 11.5.10.2, then you need to apply 11.5.10.2 maintenance pack. Maintenance pack is a consolidation of all the mini packs for all products and all the family packs for the entire oracle applications.
Have a look at the following link for Oracle Applications Patch Types:

1. A service pack (in short SP) is a collection of updates, fixes and/or enhancements to a software program delivered in the form of a single installable package. Service packs are usually numbered, and thus shortly referred to as SP1, SP2, etc. It is notable that they may bring, besides bug fixes, entirely new features.

For the ABAP parts of usage type PI, this is the implementation of support packages. For the Java parts, the deployment with the Java Support Package Manager (JSPM) is used.
You can find currently available support packages on SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/sp-stacks.
A description of how to apply support packages is available in SAP Note 879289.

Difference between Hot Pack and Support Pack

Hello,
Can anyone throw some light on difference between Hot Pack and Support Pack(if there is any) and what is Tax Update Bulletins, do we need to configure for TUBs or what is the SAP HR consultants role is Tubs.
Thanks
Charlene

Hi,
I believe both (hot pack and support pack) are one and the same.
For TUBS, you can find more information in:
Service Marketplace -> SAP ERP Human Capital Management -> Country Info -> North America -> United States -> Tax Update Bulletins -> Tax Factory 8 -> Tub Downloads
Hope this helps,

Difference between Rollup patch and family pack

Hi all,
thanks in advance to you all who helps me out with this question
can any one differentiate between Rollup patch and Family pack patch.
thanks,
Vamshi.D

In addition to the above ...
Rollup Patch (RUP): An aggregation of patches that may be at the functional level, or at a specific product/family release level. For example, a Flexfields rollup patch contains all the latest patches related to Flexfields at the time the patch was created. A Marketing Family 11.5.10 rollup patch contains all the latest Marketing patches released since, and applicable to 11.5.10
Family Pack: An aggregation of patches at the product family level. Family product codes always end in "_PF" and family packs are given alphabetical sequence such as 11i.HR_PF.B, 11i.HR_PF.C, and 11i.HR_PF.D. Family packs are cumulative. In other words, Discrete Manufacturing Family Pack G (11i.DMF_PF.G) contains everything in 11i.DMF_PF.F, which contains everything in 11i.DMF_PF.E, and so on.
If you search the rollup patch thru Metalink, it would tell you whether it is included in any other patchset (i.e. Family Pack) or not.

What is the difference between Never and Not supported

What is the difference between Never and Not supported?
Also I want to know what are all the transaction attibutes are supported by MDB and why?

Never- If the bean is called in an existing trasaction an exception is thrown.
NotSupported - Methods always execute outside the transaction context. If a transaction is started when this method is called, this method is executed outside the transaction. The initial transaction is continued after the method exits.

Office 2013 installed with KB2817430, windowsupdate still finds KB2850036. difference between KB2817430 and KB2850036

Hi,
I've made a silent Office 2013 installer with /admin and put SP1 MSP's in the updates folder.
After deployment under installed updates it shows: Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Office 2013 (KB2817430) 32-Bit Edition
But when I check for new updates, "ServicePack 1 for Microsoft Office 2013 (KB2850036) 32-Bit Edition" is ready for download and install.
What is the difference between KB2817430 and KB2850036?
It seems that I cannot download KB2850036 and also integrate it in the silent installation.
Another question: Is the updates folder from Office only for servicepacks? or can I put also updates and patches MSP files in here? If yes then i've got a lot of files with the same name and different files sizes. For example After extracting SP1 I've got
the file "proofsp-en-us.msp" which is 10MB and when extracting another patch also i've got a proof-en-us.msp and is 8MB.
So which one need to go in the updates folder?
Can anyone help me out?
thanks

Hi,
As can be seen from below KB articles, KB2817430 only contains Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Office 2013, whereas KB2850036 also contains Service Pack 1 (SP1) updates for other Office 2013 related desktop products. For example, Microsoft Office 2013
Language Pack, Project 2013, SharePoint Designer 2013, Office Proofing Tools 2013, etc.:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2850036
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2817430
So if you have any of these products on your computer, Windows Update might offer related updates to you.
Regarding the Updates folder issue, you can put any Office software updates in it during the initial installation, such as service packs or hotfixes. A newer patch might make changes to a specific file, you can check the version number of that file, and keep
the newer one in the folder.
Here is the reference you will need:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_resource_kit/archive/2011/05/05/using-the-updates-folder-to-deploy-software-updates-with-an-office-2010-installation.aspx
(Note, it was created against Office 2010, however the steps should hold good for Office 2013)

Functional differences between OBISE1 and OBIEE

Hello,
beside the licensing restrictions, there are some funtional differences between OBISE1 and OBIEE. I have seen some very neat features in OBIEE which are not implemented in OBISE1, e. g. generating powerpoint or the assistants for bi publisher in word. The actual release of EE is 10.1.3.4.0 and it is 10.1.3.2.1 for SE1. Does anyone know, if SE1 will be upgraded to 10.1.3.4.0? And if yes, will Interactive Dashboards, Answers and BI Publisher in this relaese have the functional range of EE?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Thomas

Balaa,
This question has been posted a number of times. Yes, Server, Answers, Dashboards and Publisher are functionally identical in BISE1 and BIEE. You can use BIEE 10.1.3.4.1 to upgrade your BISE1 10.1.3.2.1 (Oracle trust you not to use the stuff you are not licensed to use such as Delivers).
See my oracle support note document id 743916.1 on metalink3 ...
Oracle BI SE1: Patch to 10.1.3.4
Upgrading Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition One to higher versions of the underlying components
"Customers may upgrade to the latest 10.1.3.x versions of the BI components by running the BI Enterprise Edition 10.1.3.x Installer. They will be alerted that there is an installation already present and prompted to preserve the existing configuration. They should choose that option and the installer will leave the existing configuration (to include Repository, Web Catalog, etc) in tact and install the newer versions of the components. Note that when upgrading, all BI components must be upgraded to the same version. Customers may upgrade to the latest versions of Oracle Database 10g or Oracle Warehouse Builder 10g by applying the supported appropriate patches as needed. A note on platform support -- Oracle BI SE One is available for Windows platforms only. Oracle does not support Oracle BI SE One on other platforms. A note on licensing -- By license, customers are restricted to using BI Server, BI Answers, BI Dashboards, BI Publisher, BI Administration Tool, Oracle RDBMS, Oracle Warehouse Builder Core ETL functionality. Note that the BI SE One installation installs all of the BI components -- those listed above as well as Delivers, Office Plug-in, etc. If customers wish to use those additional components they are required to upgrade to a BI Enterprise Edition license."

Doubt about Rollup Patches and Family Packs

Hi All,
What is the difference between Rollup patches and family packs?And also applying family packs will increase the codelvel?Please specify the naming convention of both the pacthes also.
Thanks
Rajasekar

Thanks Kashif M &Hussein for your valuable replies.I've read the links. As per the documennt in r12.
Product family release update pack (product family RUP) An aggregation of patches on a given codeline created for all products in specific product family for a specific point release. For example, R12.FIN_PF.A.1.
Release update pack (RUP) A cumulative aggregation of product family release update packs on a given codeline created across Oracle E-Business Suite after the initial release. For example, 12.1.1.
RUP in r12 is similar to family pack(11i) which will change the third digit (12.1.1 to 12.1.2).right?
Product family release update pack(family pack) with new features called rollup patch?
(or)
About rollup patch I read in one apps dba blog
Rollup patces are usually fixes of all issues popped up because of a particular minipack/familypack or maintenance pack. Lets assume you applied a family pack & because of that some issue/bug came into picture or all bugs reported soon after family pack or maintenance pack are fixed and released as Roll Up patch . These are usually denoted as roll up 1 rollup 2 or roll up A roll up B.
So you will see maintenance pack 10 (11.5.10) roll up 1 or roll up2.
How can we identify the roll up level?
Thanks

What is the difference between UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD?

Hi,
What is the difference between UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD?
Best Regards,
Gopal

Hi,
Both upload and ws_upload does the same functionality, that is transfere data from presentation server to application server or from PC to SAP system(to an internal table).
There are very few difference between the two.
1 Upload requires a User Interaction for uploading i.e., user has to respond to the dialog boxes that appear WS_Upload does not. You just need to specify the file location in the function input parameters itself.
2 upload - u can give the file in run time wsupload - u have to give in Function module
3 upload is meant to be used by abappers. ws_upload is meant to be called by SAP. It is not a standard ABAP command.
4 ws_upload is Obsolete : No longer supported by SAP. Use GUI_UPLOAD instead.
The fm WS_UPLOAD was the first version of fm to get a file from presentation server, now from 4.6 it's obsolete, the new fm is GUI_UPLOAD.
The fm UPLOAD is the fm used in several applications, like ABAP editor, to upload the file.
In the some versions (it depends on patch level) UPLOAD can call WS_UPLOAD (or GUI_UPLOAD).
Last but not the least, 'upload' internally calls 'ws_upload', that's the difference.
Hope this would be helpful.
regards,
Varun.

Difference between SPAM and SAINT

hi all,
Can anybody tell me that what is the difference between SPAM and SAINT transactions
and can anybody explain me the senarios in which they are used with examples and step by step guidance
waiting for your reply..........
regards,
Hardik.

SPAM (Support Package application manager)- It is used for applying support packages
(eg. Basis, ABAP or application patches)
SAINT (SAP Add-on installation tool) - It is used to install add-on's (eg. SEM or FINBASIS add-on for BI)

I would like to know the difference between OEL and RHEL

I would like to know the difference between OEL and RHEL, are they same?
If I test any application on RHEL, will it work on OEL too.
Thanks
Edited by: user10685113 on 08-Aug-2012 05:35

The name OEL as such is not used anymore, since the product was renamed from Oracle Enterprise Linux to Oracle Linux with the release of version 5.5 in September 2010.
The main technical difference between Oracle Linux and RHEL is that Oracle Linux ships with an Oracle exclusive and optimized Oracle UEK kernel. It does however still install and provide the original and older RHEL kernel for fallback.
As of Oracle Linux 5.6, the Oracle UEK kernel is the default kernel. The current latest version of Oracle Linux 6.3 uses the Oracle UEK2 kernel, which is based on the Linux 3 kernel (2.6.39).
Oracle Linux is binary compatible with RHEL.
Oracle Linux has several advantages over RHEL, in particular if you plan to use it to install Oracle products.
• The same kernel UEK and UEK2 versions are available for Oracle Linux 5.x and 6.x
You do not necessarily need to perform a complete and unsupported system upgrade to use a newer kernel version and drivers.
• Oracle Pubilc YUM
Oracle provides a public yum repository for installing software packages including the latest patches. RHEL does not and requires a paid subscription for online access.
• Oracle specific drivers and software
Oracle Linux provides additional software and kernel drivers, for Oracle clustering, Dtrace, BtrFS and ASM, which is not available for RHEL 6.
Oracle Linux provides additional packages which trigger the automatic installation of system software prerequisites, including kernel parameters and oracle account setup to install Oracle Database:
oracle-validated (Oracle Linux 5)
oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall (Oracle Linux 6)
And last not least you have just one vendor and support requirement for Oracle products.

Difference between *.SAR and *.CAR files

Hi everyone,
What is the difference between *.SAR and *.CAR files?

hi Veera
These are similiar to .zip for SAP components...
.SAR supports version of SAP above 4.6c onwards
whereas .CAR supports version of SAP before 4.6C
whenever you want to download kernel patches basing on the version of SAP these files come either in .SAP extension or .CAR extension...
please awards points if you find this useful

Questions about the differences between Arch and Chakra.

I'm trying to decide whether to install Arch or Chakra on my laptop. Currently, I'm running Arch on my desktop and Windows 7 on my laptop (which I plan to overwrite). My skill level with GNU/Linux is somewhat intermediate – noobs refer to me as an expert, experts refer to me as a noob. If it matters, I'm a KDE user and primarily use my computers for web browsing and python development. Anyway, I just wanted to get an objective opinion on the differences between Arch and Chakra. I have a few points that stand out to me, but I welcome any input.
-Stability
I started my journey into GNU/Linux with Debian back in 2009 due to it's stability. I really disliked Debian's ancient software and considered moving my system to Unstable. While doing some googling about Debian Unstable, I stumbled across Arch – it was love at first sight. I've been an Arch user ever since. I love the bleeding edge software, and haven't had any major problems since I originally installed it. However, every time I run a system update I cringe a little. While Arch hasn't broken on me yet, I've read plenty of horror stories and it makes me uneasy. I understand that Chakra is a mix between a point and rolling release model. Is it any more or less stable than Arch? I know there are other distrobutions out there, but I'm in love with the Arch philosophy.
-Security
Pretty self-explanatory, but is there any difference in security between the two?
-AUR
As much as I love Arch, I wouldn't be able to stand it if it weren't for the massive collection of software available in the AUR. While I'm perfectly capable of compiling software myself, I prefer to use a command like tool like yaourt to manage my software. I understand that Chakra doesn't officially support the AUR and that they have their own user repository. Seeing as Chakra is still relatively new, is it lacking? Will I miss the AUR as a Chakra user?
-Repositories
Is there much difference in the official repositories between the two distrobutions?

My take on Chakra is that it's the same as Arch with different developers. They use pacman. They have a different and rather nice build system for their developers. They're doing a good job, but I'd hate to give up the services of Allan McRae who must work full time keeping the Archlinux core and toolchain up to date. Chakra devs probably piggy-back off his work.
As for "semi" rolling: I don't see Chakra as having a stable core. A stable core sounds attractive, it would be like NetBSD which has a very stable core Unix operating system with apps added via pkgsrc. But Chakra's core and toolchain is at the same version levels as Archlinux most of the time and are no more tested and stabilized than ours. Their core packages are updated piecemeal just like ours; there is no stable core that is released as a unit (afaik). Today Chakra has gcc 4.7 / glibc 2.15 just like ours. Their kernel is a little more stable: they're using udev 181 / linux 3.2.8 while Arch is on udev 182 / linux 3.3.7. They are more conservative in upgrading xorg and the video drivers than Arch. For example, today they're on xorg-server 1.10.4 / intel video 2.17 while Arch is up-to-the-bleeding-edge-minute with xorg-server 1.12.1.902 and intel video 2.19. Yeah, I would consider Chakra to be a little more "stable" than Arch mainly because of their relaxed pace in changing the kernel and the xorg stuff.
Most of the patches that I look at for Arch packages (I build my system entirely from source and try to build monthly releases for myself) are needed because we use more recent core packages like glib2/glibc/gcc than the developers of higher level stuff like qt. Chakra is in the same situation. We're on the front of the wave
The Chakra CCR is compatible with the Arch AUR and mainly draws from AUR (an AUR buildscript will usually work fine on a Chakra system -- they just add one or two additional info fields.) With a little effort you could get any package installed on a Chakra system that is available on Arch.
