FTPing .zip CPU patch files...

Hi
I have downloaded a .zip file for Oracle CPU Patch and wants to move it to UINX server. After connecting the UNIX server, beofre I say "put <filename>"...do I have to say "binary"?
Your answer will be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Ahmed.

Hello,
Besides the previous answer, generally (if you click on the patch detail) you have the size of the zip file in bytes.
For instance:
Size 1.1G (1123325074 bytes) So, once you have sent the zip file on the Unix server, you can check if it's size is correct.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

Download of January CPU Patch, the filename is somewhat cryptic

I've tried to download the january cpu patch for three different o/s and when I click the download button, the file name looks right (i.e. p9952279_10105_SOLARIS64.zip), but when I click save the file name changes to a variation of letters and number (i.e. CAER8HUF.zip).
Why does this happen?

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.
Table 9 Patch Availability for Oracle Database 11.2.0.3

Database CPU patches are cumulative. You only need to apply the latest.

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.

Determinating CPU patch version in 8.1.7.4. database

How can I determinate currently installed CPU patch version in oracle 8.1.7.4 database (HP True64UNIX). (some alternativ for "opatch inventory" from higher versions of databases)
Thanks.

Hi,
It's a great question about 8i...
With Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA Tools) you can see all dll & all files which were updated (date and version, make a checkcross with CPU doc).

Can't unzip Patch file for OBIEE release 11.1.1.6.4

Hi,
When i try to unzip the patch file p14285344_111164_Generic.zip for 11.1.1.6.4 on Linux x64 i get the following message
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of p14285344_111164_Generic.zip or
p14285344_111164_Generic.zip.zip, and cannot find p14285344_111164_Generic.zip.ZIP, period.
The other files making up the 11.1.1.6.4 release unzip ok.
I've seen this issue with other patch files for different releases.
Anyone seen this before and know why this is?
Rgds

Looks like the .zip file is got disconnect during download. To confirm the same try to unzip on Windows.
I've downloaded it and unzipped with no issues.
BTW: Try this command

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.

You would think that Oracle should put a better release (for RHEL 3) at least one that is installable!
But maybe you also should ask: is it ok to redistribute these patches? Is it ok to access these files without a support contract? (I don't have the details available but I'd guess that there are restrictions...)

Adobe Patch Files

I have lots of zip files above 100mb on my computer, they have 'Adobe Patch Files' in them. Is it safe to delete these? It is saying my disk is full

Yes, you can delete the source zips. just be warned, that later updates may check this stuff and fail if they don't find those files and a full reinstall may therefore be necessary.

How to detect potential CPU patch conflict in advance.

Hi,
Is there any way to report the CPU patch conflicts before applying the patch.
I found this syntax: opatch apply -silent -no_bug_superset -report in http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/cpu-whitepaper-129885.pdf
However it doesn't work.
I downloaded the patch and unzipped the same:

Sapstart fails after installation of CPU-Patch April2009 on Oracle 10.2.0.4

Hi Experts,
after installing the CPU-Patch April2009 for Oracle 10.2.0.4, startsap fails with error code 12.
Starting everything manually works (lsnrctl start, sqlplus and do startup, after that startsap works).
When the listener and the database are running, things like R3trans -x also work without errors.
I found a SAP-Note 97953 but I don't know if this is the solution. Some of the oracle-executables in the bin-directory have been modified. So there is a "oracle" and a "oracle0" . The timestamp indicates to me that these files were modified while implementing the CPU-Patch.
I also checked SAP-Note 583861but with no success.
regards
Dirk

Hi Markus,
if the database ist down and I execute "R3trans -d" I'll get the following error.

If the database is up everything works. Here is the output of "R3trans -d"
R3trans -d
This is R3trans version 6.18 (release 710 - 08.10.07 - 13:37:00).
unicode enabled version
R3trans finished (0000).
For me this all looks o.k. when the database is down R3trans won't be able to reach it and if the database is up it works. But why I can't then just execute "sapstart" ?

Steps to apply cpu patch on RAC

Hi All,
I am applying cpu patch to rac environment first time.It is a 2 node rac.Kindly let me know the methods and how to apply cpu patch on 2 node RAC.
Regards
Raj

Hi user8884603,
as Rajesh has mentioned, all info is in the readme file, but lookout specifically:
If you can apply the patch while the DB is open or CRS is started.
If you must apply the patch on all nodes in the cluster or only from 1 node.
As which user specific tasks must be done.
Hope this is helpful.
Regards.

Oracle CPU patch for 10.20.4

Hello,
Here is my DB version.
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.4.0 Production
TNS for Solaris: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
I am using SUNOS SPARC 64 bit server. I am going to apply JAN 2010 CPU patch. In the README.html file, i see one step as below.
If CPUOct2009 has not been applied, ensure that MLR (Merge Label Request) bugs 9054847 and 9054851 have been applied.
My question is, how do i ensure that, MLR has been already applied? Any help is highly appreciated.

If patches 9054847 and 9054851 have not been applied, you will need to apply them before proceeding to apply the CPU patch. Pl see the README files of the two patches for install instructions.

APR 2010 CPU - Patch 9032412 fails error code 73

I am trying to install the apr 2010 cpu updates for apps and db servers. As indicated in doc 985896.1 I am attempting to install patch 9032412 prior to installing the 9352191 cpu patch. When I try to install this on the DB using the latest version of OPatch I get the following error:
===========================================================================================
Running make for target ioracle
ApplySession adding interim patch '9032412' to inventory
Verifying the update...
Inventory check failed: Patch ID 9032412 is NOT registered in Oracle Home inventory.
Files check OK: Files from Patch ID 9032412 are present in Oracle Home.
ApplySession failed: ApplySession failed in system modification phase... 'Verification of patch failed: Patch is not found in the Inventory. '
OPatch will attempt to restore the system...
Restoring the Oracle Home...
Checking if OPatch needs to invoke 'make' to restore some binaries...
OPatch was able to restore your system. Look at log file and timestamp of each file to make sure your system is in the state prior to applying the patch.
The following warnings have occurred during OPatch execution:
1) OUI-67620:Interim patch 9032412 is a superset of the patch(es) [ 6600051 ] in the Oracle Home
2) OUI-67124:Inventory check failed: Patch ID 9032412 is NOT registered in Oracle Home inventory.
OPatch failed with error code 73
===========================================================================================
opatch lsinventory -all & -detail are successful.
I performed the detach home and attach home steps successfully and this made no difference.
Anyone out there that can shed some light on this perhaps? Thanks

I have not opened an SR yet, looks like I am going to have to do so.
I have run the detach home and rebuilt the inventory and attached home using the command
runInstaller -silent -invPtrLoc “/oracle10/oracle/oraInst.loc” -attachHome ORACLE_HOME=”/oracle10/oracle” ORACLE_HOME_NAME=”Ora10gHome”
Now inventory is there, but it shows no intermediate patches listed. When I try to apply the 9032412 patch I still get the same error "Inventory check failed: Patch ID 9032412 is NOT registered in Oracle Home inventory." and there is no mention of the 6600051 patch anymore so I don't think it is the issue. For some reason it can't seem to update the inventory.
There is now a 9032412 directory in the $ORACLE_HOME/.patch_directory however. The etc/oraInventory & $ORACLE_HOME/inventory have write permissions. What else have I missed?
Thanks again for your help.
