Doubt about apply PATCH 10.1.2.3 in middleware tier after apply mrua 10.1.4

Hello Gurus,
Can i apply middle tier patch 10.1.2.3 in PORTAL(middleware) after apply MURA 10.1.4 in Infraestructure tier?
Best regards,
Thiago Leôncio

Thiago,
My first response, although correct, may have caused some confusion. I was under the assumption that you had installed a 10.1.4 SSO repository which for IM 10.1.4.x. This repository ships with 10.1.2.0.2 Portal. But from the information in this thread, it seems that you want to patch a Portal midtier with the 10.1.2.3 patch while the Portal repository is still 10.1.4.0.0.
The AS 10.1.2.3 patch set contains two sorts of patches:
1. Patches for the Oracle 10.1.2.x Application Server binaries and libraries. These are copied to the file system when applying the patch set
2. Patches to upgrade the Portal repository. These PL/SQL packages are installed in the Portal repository database.
In order to patch a 10.1.2.0.2 environment with Portal, the Universal Installer of the patch set needs to be run three times in this specific order :
1. Update the binaries/libraries of the Portal 10.1.2.x midtier
2. Update the binaries/libraries of the Identity Management 10.1.2.x midtier.
3. Upgrade the Portal and Wireless repository to either 10.1.2.3 or 10.1.4.
You can install the binary/libraries to both the Portal midtier and Identity Management midtier without running the repository upgrade immediately. This option is available for large scale deployments where the upgrade of the midtiers / identity management and the repository upgrade is spread over two downtime periods. This should however always be a temporary arrangement, it is not intended for production purposes. So to answer your question :
No, you can upgrade your Portal midtier to 10.1.2.3 without patching the Portal repository to 10.1.4.2 or 10.1.2.3 unless it is a temporary arrangement to accommodate for small downtime windows.
Note :
As mentioned before, the Portal repository upgrade part of the 10.1.2.3 patch set behaves different pending on the repository version :
All 10.1.2.x repositories are upgraded to 10.1.2.3
All 10.1.4.x repositories are upgraded to 10.1.4.2
Hope this helps,
EJ

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

Doubt about Patch

Hi everyone!
I have a doubt about applying patch.
I just applied this patch (using GUI):
Oracle® Database Patch Set Notes
*10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4) Patch Set 3 for Microsoft Windows (32-Bit)*
Initially, there was an error stating that some other process is accessing one particular dll.
I ignored it.
I rerun the patch installation thinking that I need to get that dll as well.
It gave a list of what has been installed and what can be installed.
So, I selected all the remainders and installed.
It was successful. Now, would it have ignored that dll or installed it?
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers!

You can't ignore any dll related errors. If a dll is in use, oracle patching process will not replace that with a newer version of dll. I'll strongly recommend the use of ' Microsoft Process Monitor' utility to monitor, what is running on my server.

Require official Oracle Best Practices about PSU patches

A customer complained about the following
Your company statements are not clear...
On your web page - http://www.oracle.com/security/critical-patch-update.html
The following is stated!
Critical Patch Update
Fixes for security vulnerabilities are released in quarterly Critical Patch Updates (CPU), on dates announced a year in advance and published on the Oracle Technology Network. The patches address significant security vulnerabilities and include other fixes that are prerequisites for the security fixes included in the CPU.
The major products patched are Oracle Database Server, Oracle Application Server, Oracle Enterprise Manager, Oracle Collaboration Suite, Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft Enterprise Tools, PeopleSoft CRM, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, JD Edwards OneWorld XE, Oracle WebLogic Suite, Oracle Communications and Primavera Product Suite.
Oracle recommends that CPUs be the primary means of applying security fixes to all affected products as they are released more frequently than patch sets and new product releases.
BENEFITS
* Maximum Security—Vulnerabilities are addressed through the CPU in order of severity. This process ensures that the most critical security holes are patched first, resulting in a better security posture for the organization.
* Lower Administration Costs—Patch updates are cumulative for many Oracle products. This ensures that the application of the latest CPU resolves all previously addressed vulnerabilities.
* Simplified Patch Management—A fixed CPU schedule takes the guesswork out of patch management. The schedule is also designed to avoid typical "blackout dates" during which customers cannot typically alter their production environments.
PROGRAM FEATURES
* Cumulative versus one-off patches—The Oracle Database Server, Oracle Application Server, Oracle Enterprise Manager, Oracle Collaboration Suite, Oracle Communications Suite and Oracle WebLogic Suite patches are cumulative; each Critical Patch Update contains the security fixes from all previous Critical Patch Updates. In practical terms, the latest Critical Patch Update is the only one that needs to be applied if you are solely using these products, as it contains all required fixes. Fixes for other products, including Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft Enterprise Tools, PeopleSoft CRM, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, and JD Edwards OneWorld XE are released as one-off patches, so it is necessary to refer to previous Critical Patch Update advisories to find all patches that may need to be applied.
* Prioritizing security fixes—Oracle fixes significant security vulnerabilities in severity order, regardless of who found the issue—whether the issue was found by a customer, a third party security researcher or by Oracle.
* Sequence of security fixes—Security vulnerabilities are first fixed in the current code line. This is the code being developed for a future major release of the product. The fixes are scheduled for inclusion in a future Critical Patch Update. However, fixes may be backported for inclusion in future patch sets or product releases that are released before their inclusion in a future Critical Patch Update.
* Communication policy for security fixes—Each Critical Patch Update includes an advisory. This advisory lists the products affected by the Critical Patch Update and contains a risk matrix for each affected product.
* Security alerts—Security alerts provide a notification designed to address a single bug or a small number of bugs. Security Alerts have been replaced by scheduled CPUs since January 2005. Unique or dangerous threats can still generate Security Alert email notifications through MetaLink and the Oracle Technology Network.
Nowhere in that statement is the Patch Set Update even mentioned. If Oracle intends to recommend to all customers that Patch Set Updates are the recommended means of Patching for Security and Functionality then it should be stated so here!
Please clarify!
Where can I find the current information so that I can use to Official Oracle statement as a reference for my Enterprise Practices and Standards document? The individual patch package references you are giving me do not state Oracle recommended Best Practice, they only speak to the specific patch package they describe. These do not help me in making an Enterprise statement of Practices and Standards.
I need to close the process out to capture a window of availability for Practices and Standards approval.
Do we have any Best Practice document about PSU patches available for customers?

Doubts about RAC infraestructure with one disk array

Hello everybody,
I'm writing to you because we have a doubt about the correct infrastructure to implement RAC.
Please, let me first explain the current design we are using for Oracle DB storage. Currently we are running several standalone instances in several servers, all of them connected to a SAN disk storage array. As we know this is a single point of failure we have redundant controlfiles, archiveds and redos both in the array and in the internal disk of each server, so in case array completely fails we “just” need to recover nightly cold backup, apply archs and redos and everything it's ok. This can be done because we have standalone instances and we can assume this 1 hour downtime.
Now we want to use these servers and this array to implement a RAC solution and we know this array is our single point of failure and wonder if it's possible to have a multinode RAC solution (not RAC One Node) with redundant controlfiles/archs/redos in internal disks. Is it possible to have each node writing full RAC controlfiles/archs/redos in internal disks and apply these files consistently when the ASM filesystem used for RAC is restores (i.e. with a softlink in an internal disk and using just one node)? Or maybe the recommended solution is to have a second array to avoid this single point of failure?
Thanks a lot!

cssl wrote:
Or maybe the recommended solution is to have a second array to avoid this single point of failure?Correct. This is the proper solution.
In this case you can also decide to simply use striping on both arrays, then mirror array1's data onto array2 using ASM redundancy options.
Also keep in mind that redundancy is also need for the connectivity. So you need at least 2 switches to connect to both arrays, and dual HBA ports on each server, with 2 fibres running, one to each switch. You will need multipath driver s/w on the server to deal with the multiple I/O paths to the same storage LUNs.
Likewise you need to repeat this for your Interconnect. 2 private switches, 2 private NICs on each server that are bonded. Then connect these 2 NICs to the 2 switches, one NIC per switch.
Also do not forget spares. Spare switches (one each for storage and Interconnect). Spare cables - fibre and whatever is used for the Interconnect.
Bottom line - not a cheap solution to have full redundancy. What can be done is to combine the storage connection/protocol layer with the Interconnect layer and run both over the same architecture. Oracle's Database Machine and Exadata Storage Servers do this. You can run your storage protocol (e.g. SRP) and your Interconnect protocol (TCP or RDS) over the same 40Gb Infiniband infrastructure.
Thus only 2 Infiniband switches are needed for redundancy, plus 1 spare. With each server running a dual port HCA and a cable to each of these 2 switches.

Doubt about a null value assigned to a String variable

Hi,
I have a doubt about a behavior when assigning a null value to a string variable and then seeing the output, the code is the next one:
public static void main(String[] args) {
        String total = null;
        System.out.println(total);
        total = total+"one";
        System.out.println(total);
}the doubt comes when i see the output, the output i get is this:
null
nulloneA variable with null value means it does not contains a reference to an object in memory, so the question is why the null is printed when i concatenate the total variable which has a null value with the string "one".
Is the null value converted to string ??
Please clarify
Regards and thanks!
Carlos

null is a keyword to inform compiler that the reference contain nothingNo. 'null' is not a keyword, it is a literal. Beyond that the compiler doesn't care. It has a runtime value as well.
total contains null value means it does not have memory,No, it means it refers to nothing, as opposed to referring to an object.
for representation purpose it contain "null"No. println(String) has special behaviour if the argument is null. This is documented and has already been described above. Your handwaving about 'for representation purpose' is meaningless. The compiler and the JVM don't know the purpose of the code.
e.g. this keyword shows a hash value instead of memory addressNo it doesn't: it depends entirely on the actual class of the object referred to by 'this', and specifically what its toString() method does.
similarly "total" maps null as a literal.Completely meaningless. "total" doesn't 'map' anything, it is just a literal. The behaviour you describe is a property of the string concatenation operator, not of string literals.
I hope you can understand this.Nobody could understand it. It is compete nonsense. The correct answer has already been given. Please read the thread before you contribute.

Question about applying Cyclic bulletin 8.0o

Dear all:
        Its the first time Im gonna be in charge of implementing this new Cyclic bulleting, and I have doubts about what will happen when the basis team update the BSI softwarw. Will we lose all the configuration we had in the BSI side? (we have some rules there), or it will inherit the configuration from the prior version?
Thank you a lot !

Hello Federico,
In the old BSI client you should proceed to make a backup from the data table and restore in the new BSi client as
described in the note 1067730:
1. Launch the TaxFactory 8.0 client GUI.
2. In the resultant logon screen, enter the following default initial
    administrative login and password.
       Login             Password
       TF80              bsi
3. Select the Tech Tools icon.
4. Select Custom Backup/Restore.
5. Choose Restore.
6. Restore to the current dataset the backup file BTXTAXC.BAK that you
    obtained upon unzipping the file BTXTAXC.zip.
7. Repeat this procedure for all dataset(s) defined for TaxFactory 8.0
    in your system landscape.

Doubt about Select statement.

Hi folks!!
             I have a few doubts about the select statements, it may be a silly things but its useful for me.
what is   difference between below statment.
1)SELECT * FROM TABLE.
2)SELECT SINGLE * FROM TABLE
3)SELECT SINGLE FROM TABLE.
Hope i will get answer,thanks in advance.
Regards
Richie..

Hi,
try this and if possible use sap help.i mean place the cursor on select and press F1.
             Types of select statements:
1.     select * from ztxlfa1 into table it.
             This is simple select statement to fetch all the data of db table into internal table it.
   2.   select * from ztxlfa1 into table it where lifnr between 'V2' and 'V5'.
        Thisis using where condition between v2 and v5.
4. select * from ztxlfa1 where land1 = 'DE'. "row goes into default table work Area
5. select lifnr land1 from ztxlfa1
        into corresponding fields of it   "notice 'table' is omitted
         where land1 = 'DE'.
          append it.
           endselect.
     Now data will go into work area. and then u will add it to internal table by
        append statement.
6.   Table 13.2 contains a list of the various forms of select as it is used with internal tables and their relative efficiency. They are in descending order of most-to-least efficient.

Your code implements some business transaction, right? So if you commit before whole trancaction (from business standpoint) is complete other sessions will already see changes that are (from business standpoint) incomplete. Also, what if rest of trancaction (from business standpoint) fails?

Need info about 9004119 patch

Hi,
I'm currently trying active/passive configuration with oracle RAC, and found that Oracle RAC one node is the solution. During my search, i also found some forum explaining how to convert to RAC one node and says that i need to download patch -9004119. This patch would be installed on RAC and so on.
I'm just not able to find this patch, Could anyone provide me the downloadable/installable or the link of *9004119*
Also, any examples or links of active/passive failovers would be really helpful. I'm doing trial and error method from a long time but no luck!
Just to mention,
Oracle RAC : active /active: mainly used for load balacing.
Oracle RAC one node: Active/passive : mainly used for cold failovers
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
Megha

Again, RAC one-node enables you, in certain scenarios, to have 2 instances up for a specific amount of time. If you need only active-passive without the option to have 2 instances up you can use the Oracle database as a regular resource. You can read about it here: http://blogs.oracle.com/xpsoluxdb/entry/clusterware_11gr2_setting_up_an_activepassive_failover_configuration
You can read about RAC one node here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e16795/onenode.htm#RACAD7894
And again, I don't know about the patch, but I'm trying to understand if you need rac one-node, or maybe a regular active-passive is enough for you.

I am working with the implementation of SRM 5.0 with SUS in an extended classic scenario. We will use one server for SRM and other for SUS. We will use the self registration for vendor (in SUS). My questions are:
- Can I have the same BP number in SRM and SUS?? Or is it going to be different??
- When a vendor accesses at the site to make a self registration in SUS, the information is sent to SRM as prospect (by XI) and there the prospect is changed as vendor? After that, is it necessary to send something from SRM to SUS again? (to change the prospect to vendor)
- When is it necessary to replicate vendors from SRM to SUS??
Thanks
Ivá

Dear Ivan,
Here is answer to all your questions. Follow these steps for ROS configuration:
Pls note:
1. No need to have seperate clients for ROS and SUS. Create two clients for EBP and (SUS+ROS).
2. No need of XI to transfer new registered vendor from ROS to EBP
Steps to configure scenario:
1. Make entries in SPRO --> "Define backend system" on both clients.
    You will ahev specify logical systems of both the clients (ROS as well as EBP)
2. Create RFCs on both clients to communicate with each other
3. In ROS client create Service User for supplier registration service with roles:
    SAP_EC_BBP_CREATEUSER
    SAP_EC_BBP_CREATEVENDOR
    Grant u201CS_A.SCONu201D profile to the user.
4. Maintain service user in u201CLogon Datau201D tab of service : ros_self_reg in ROS client
5. Create Purchasing and vendor Organizational Structure in EBP client and maintain necessary
    attributes. create vendor org structure in ROS client
6. Create your ROS registration questionnaires and assign to product categories- in ROS client
7. To transfer suppliers from registration system to EBP/Bidding system, Supplier pre-screening has to be
    defined as supplier directory in SRM server - EBP client.
    Maintain your prescreen catalog in IMG --> Supplier Relationship Management u2192 SRM Server u2192
    Master Data u2192 Define External Web Services (Catalogs, Vendor Lists etc.)
8. Maintain this catalog Id in purchasing org structure under attribure "CAT" - in EBP client
9. Modify purchaser role in EBP client:
    Open node for u201CROS_PRESCREENu201D and maintain parameter "sap-client" and ROS client number
10.Maintain organizational data in make settings for business partner
Supplier Relationship Management -> Supplier Self-Services -> Master Data -> Make Settings for the Business Partners. This information is actually getting getting stored in table BBP_MARKETP_INFO.
11. Using manage Business partner node with purchasers login (BBPMAININT), newly registsred vendors are pulled from Pre-screen catalog and BP is created in EBP client. If you you have SUS scenario, ensure to maintain "portal vendor" role here.
I hope this clarifies all your doubts.
Pls reward points for helpful answers
Regards,
Prashant
