Finding CPU patches on oracle support

I could open a ticket and ask, but that would be a while for a response. Possibly days. So I am going to the patch screen. I am doing a search for CPUJUL2010 and nothing comes back. I need the July one on Solaris Sparc 64 bit.
on the left there is a security link with a bar graph. I click that and I get alot of things, but I do not get one for 11.1.0.7 (I think 11.1.0.6 will work, but I don't see it. I can check the notes). How do I find exactly what I am looking for? The search feature doesn't work. When I do a search the back button does not appear to work either.
I also opened up one of the cpu patch notes (not the one I want). All I get is al ist of bug fixes. Is there an easier way than going to each patch and reading the readme notes to see what is fixed? I need to go through all of this to tell management whether there is a critical security whole we just have to patch. I doubt there is, but I need to check.

for future refrerence. how do i easily find the MOS note for a new CPU patch.
I dont see a socument that tells me with an overview what is in the CPU patch. I see one, but it just lists a bunch of Patches that are in it and I have to go to each document. That is what I see in the readme. The other documents don't appear to have it.

Finding CPU Patch and PSU applied

hi all,
How do we find that which and when cpu and psu patches are applied. do we apply this for individual databases or for complete oracle software.
thank you!

>
What version are you on and what version of opatch?
To find out what PSU's you have applied, you can do this at OS level
$> opatch lsinv -bugs_fixed | grep -i psu
From database (depending upon your version), you can do this to find all patches applied to your database:
col ACTION format a15
col NAMESPACE format a15
col version format a10
col COMMENTS format a42
col BUNDLE_SERIES format a20
col action_time format a30
select * from sys.registry$history;do we apply this for individual databases or for complete oracle software.
>
Some patches are for software only while some affect both software and database. This is very generic question/answer

CPU Patch for oracle 9.2.0.4

Hi,
I am working in oracle 9.2.0.4 .I need the CPU patch for this oracle version 9.2.0.4.
Please provide me the steps for patch updation.....
Rgds,,,,

Check
Critical Patch Update Availability Information for Oracle Server and Middleware Products (CPUOct2007)
Doc ID: Note:455287.1
Accoring to CPU rule, not availalbe for 9.2.0.4, need to patch your DB to 9.2.0.8 the latest patchset of the release.

Why OPatch 1.0.0.0.57 needed to apply july2007 CPU patch on oracle 9.2?

what could be the reason to upgrade OPatch utility from older to 1.0.0.0.57 for applying July2007 CPU patch on 9.2

One of the things about CPUs from now on - they will use a new OPatch 'Napply' capability. See Note:438314.1

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,
oratest

Also a description uses to be included in the readme coming with the patch.
As the readme contains instructions on how to install the patch, you need to read it anyway.

Not able to find out the OCT 2012 CPU patch for 11.2.0.3

Hi
I am trying to download the OCT 2012 CPU patch for the 11.2.0.3 to install on Linux x86-64 which is having OS of RHEL 5.7. I am able to get the OCT 2012 PSU patch which include the CPU patch too.
Database 11.2.0.3.4 PSU Patch 14275605, or
GI 11.2.0.3.4 PSU Patch 14275572, or
But I just require only the CPU patch. Can anyone provide me the patch number or some link where I can download the Oracle CPU patch OCT 2012

The given link take to the window where CPU patch for all the quarter available.
The Critical Patch Updates released to date are listed in the following table.
Critical Patch Update Latest Version/Date
Critical Patch Update - October 2012 Rev 1, 16 October 2012
Critical Patch Update - July 2012 Rev 1, 17 July 2012
Critical Patch Update - April 2012 Rev 2, 19 July 2012
If I click on Critical Patch Update - October 2012 its takes to the window for selectin the database version (11.2.0.3). From there it goes to the Patch Set Update and Critical Patch Update October 2012 Availability Document [ID 1477727.1] which I had already checked.
There for the database products it shows the below option.

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.

Access (public) WebLogic patches without CSI / My Oracle Support?

Hi,
I would like to access a (hopefully public) patch to upgrade from WLS 10.0.3.3 to WLS 10.0.3.4. I am using the (publicly available) server for development as a contractor.
However, downloading patches now requires to have a "My Oracle Support" membership. I think I had downloaded patches from BEA in the past without such a membership? To register for this service, a Customer Support Identification (CSI) is required. The complete WLS is publicly downloadable, so I do not understand why a support contract is required to access the patches?
Maybe there are other possibilities and someone here can help me?

I've got the exact same issue...I've got 11.2.0.1 installed using the developer license, and the application I'm running has some errors that stem from a bug that has been fixed in 11.2.0.2, but I can't find a way to access the patch without a CSI.

Advice on Oracle Patches/Oracle Support

I'd like some advice here... I am of the opinion to NEVER apply an Oracle patch without getting direction to do so from Oracle Support to correct an existing issue. I have some colleagues who believe we should apply certain patches based on success they have had in other environments and do so without involving Oracle Support.
Can someone please offer some guidance here on what might be the best practice?
Thanks

Personally, it would depend on the "we" you're referring to and on the environment...
If you're an application vendor that knows that your product hits a particular bug relatively frequently or you've got home-grown apps that hit multiple databases in your organization that all hit a particular bug relatively frequently because of known similarities in architecture/ design/ implementation, I'd have no problems applying a patchset to all the systems. If you find that it's easier to maintain a bunch of different databases if they all run identical patchsets, I could also see that argument as potentially having some merit.
On the other hand, if you're talking to someone that wants to apply a patch because it solved a problem at some other site that may or may not resemble your site, I'd probably steer clear.

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.
