How apply multiple patches on oracle database at once?

Hi,
I setup a new server and I setup the Metalink Patch Setup, to bring the database up to date after 10.2.0.4 patchset.
I see that the cache shows 157 patches available.
Is there a way to schedule an all in one job to apply the pacthes at once? As I can see, the whole process could take a long time.
I could schedule jobs and leave there to work, is this the only option?
Thanks
Fabio D'Alfonso

I am not sure where the 157 number comes from but the Oracle quarterly CPU patch sets are cumulative so if you apply the most recent you should get most of the patches in a single user action.
I would not attempt to apply any patches not included in the most recent quaterly patch release unless I hit a bug that has a patch for it. That is, do not apply what you do not need. Wait to pick up any additional avaialble patches with the next quarterly patch set since one-off patches sometimes have side effects and the more time that goes by after the one-off patch release the better from a reliability point of view.

Applying interim patches to Oracle 10.2.0.2

Hi,
After the CRM upgrade to CRM 2007 on oracle 10.2.0.2 on soalris 10, I need to apply interim patches to oracle 10.2.0.2.
As I am new to it, please any one send me the step by step procedure to do so. I have already taken a backup.
Regards
M Kumar

Hi,
You should read the notes, all is explained on them.
First you MUST download all the patches from SAP note 871096
Then you also read the note, where is explained how to install the patches:
Patch installation with OPatch
To install Oracle patches for Oracle Release 10.2.0.2 or 10.2.0.4, use
the Opatch version of patch 4898608 only. This is available on SAP
Service Marketplace.
The use of the OPatch version of patch 6880880 (particularly in
connection with MOPatch) is currently not released.
In this case, see OPatch Note 839182.
Patch installation with MOPatch
You must apply a relatively large number of patches for Oracle Release
10.2.0.2. Information about the patch installation using MOPatch, see
Note 1027012.
Of course, this little excerpt of the note point to other notes that you should read to get more details.

How do I get from Oracle Database 8.1.7.0.0 to 8.1.7.2?

How do I get from Oracle Database 8.1.7.0.0 to 8.1.7.2? There is a patchset that fixes a bug in 8.1.7 for memory leaks that I need installed. I am currently running on a WindowsNT Server with a Oracle Database version of 8.1.7.0.0. Is going to 8.1.7.2 a complete release upgrade, or is there a smaller upgrade to get there, and how do I get the files required>
Thanks,

Hi,
Sorry for my english
For Windows NT, the last big patchset is 8.1.7.4.x. I advice you to use the last patchset. A patchet is not a upgrade or a migrate. the installation is in two phase. Phase One:Patch the files in the oracle home with Oracle Universal Installer (Oui) and Phase Two: execute sql files on the dictionnary of each database. There is a readme with the patch.
you can get files on metalink if you have a account (metalink.oracle.com).

I thought there will be a magic switch to turn it off and on!That is how Oracle has been since I can remember. You get what you ask for. Does that sound bad?
Would you want:
IF ('ABC' = 'Abc')to evaluate to TRUE or FALSE?
The behaviour seems to be correct. In cases where you want the comparision to be case insensitive, you have several ways to do it. You do it exactly where you need it, not everywhere and all the places.
The default behaviour would potentially give you one row where as making it case insensitive could potentially give you several rows. now you need to pick one, which one?

Applying security patch to Oracle 10G on Linux

Hello,
I'm new to Oracle DBA world, need to apply security patch to Oracle 10G on Linux server, any tips and notes would be appreciated.
thanks
Sam

Manish,
1. I have to upgrade the database version from 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.4 on Linux, Is there any proper documentation which will help me out?Please refer to the following document.
Note: 454750.1 - Oracle Apps Release 12 with Oracle Database 10.2.0 interoperability notes
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=454750.1
2. What are the types of oracle database patches? what is the proper procedure to apply those kind of patches to Oracle 10g on Linux?
Most of the patches in this upgrade are database patches (which should be applied using opatch). The main upgrade patch (Patch 6810189 - 10.2.0.4 patch set) should be applied using Oracle Universal Installer (runInstaller).
Always follow the steps in the patch README file before applying any patch.

Hussein

Patching of Oracle databases

Hi all,
When patching an Oracle database, the parameters have to fit perfectly, i.e version, platform, O.S, etc. For me currently the version is on Suse Linux 9, and 10gR2 (10.2.0.1.0). However a lot of recent CPU's don't have that version listed as one to patch, on that O.S. Does that mean I can't apply CPU's? Or does it mean that I can not upgrade the version to say 10.2.0.3.0?
Regards, David

.> Does that mean I can't apply CPU's?
Mostly CPUs are Version oriented so in your case you may not need
does it mean that I can not upgrade the version to say 10.2.0.3.0? No you can upgrade thats different ..CPU is different from patching/upgrading and no link beteen them

Apply Patches on Oracle Database with Logical Standby Database

Here I am:
I got a primary database with a logical standby database running Oracle 11g. I got two client applications, one is the production site pointing to the primary one, another one is just a backup site pointing to the logical one.Things will only be written into the primary database every mid night and client applications can only query the database but not add, update nor delete.And now, I want to apply the latest patch on both of my databases. I am also the DNS administrator, I can make the name server pointing to the backup site instead of the production one.I want to firstly apply the patch on the logical one, and then the physical one.
I found some reference which explains how to apply patches by adopting "Rolling Upgrade Method". however, I want to avoid doing any "switch over" mentioned in the reference because I can make use of name server. Can I just apply patches as the following way?
1)Stop SQL apply
2)Apply patches on logical standby database
3)let the name server point to the backup site
4)Apply patches on the primary database
5)Start SQL apply
6)Let the name server point back to the production site
Thanks in advance.

Pl follow the steps in MOS Doc 437276.1 ( Upgrading Oracle Database with a Logical Standby Database In Place )

Error importing with impdp after applying a patch for oracle 11g

Hello guys,
I recently unistalled all the oracle software with my database in order to start all fresh. I then installed the database and applied a patch from the version 11.1.0.6.0 to 11.1.0.7. I used the DBUA to do such a thing and it worked wonderfully.
I'm now trying to do a full import but it seems there's something wrong with the connection. Below is the syntax and am using Windows 7 BTW.

HOW DO YOU CONVET AN ORACLE DATABASE FILE TO A TXT FILE?

Is there a way in a program unit of a form to convert an ORACLE database file into TXT format? When the file gets created, I want to use the text file in a distribution list for sending email. My code in the program unit is:
Insert into THE_IMO_EMAIL
Select distinct imo_email from DS_POC
where imo_email is not null;
commit;
Table THE_IMO_EMAIL is a temporary table. The temporary table gets deleted everytime before records get inserted into it. There is only 1 item in the temporary table.
IMO_EMAIL VARCHAR2(55)
After the COMMIT I want to copy the contents out of the
THE_IMO_EMAIL into a TXT File.
How do I do this? What parameters do I need to use? Should I do this in another program unit?

can you be more clear on this
"DATABASE FILE" what is this? an RDBMS file and you need this in ASCII format. I am lost.

How can we clone the Oracle database in new Oracle Home

Hi,
I would like to clone oracle database into new oracle home. How can we set it using OEM.
I am using 10g grid control. Target db is on solaris
Thanks
Naveen

after logging into target database, under maintenance tab, data movement header; ther is "clone database" option. When you click on it; you'll see :
Clone Database uses RMAN to duplicate a database from:
-- An open database in ARCHIVELOG mode, or
-- An open database in NOARCHIVELOG mode (restart required), or
-- A saved working directory from previous cloning
Clone Database performs the following operations:
-- Backup each database file and store it in a working directory
-- Transfer each backup file from source to destination host
-- Restore each backup file to existing destination Oracle Home
-- Recover the cloned database with saved archived log files
-- Open the cloned database with resetlogs
It seems to be for cloning to a different host, but i guess you can chose the same host for source and destination. (I've never used cloning on em by the way :))
But firstly, you should create a new oracle home, you can simply copy your oracle home with a new name (cp -R /oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0 /oracle/app/oracle/product/10.2.0.new) or make a new installation.
I suggest you to do this cloning with CLI. You should take a full backup with RMAN, copy the oracle home, create a new initNEWSID.ora file and nomount the database, restore (or simply copy) controlfiles, restore database (with set newname commands), recover database, open resetlogs.
