How can I determine if a Critical Patch Update has been installed?

I know I can use opatch -lsinventory to confirm that a the patch has been installed in an Oracle home, but how can I check to see if the CPU script (catcpu.sql) has been run in a database?
I'd like to know for two reasons:
1. I am concerned because I have many databases to patch under a single Oracle home and I'd like to check them all to make sure I didn't miss any.
2. I've heard that I'll have to run catcpu.sql in any new database I create under this Oracle home. I know I'll eventually forget to do this, so I'd like some way to check if the script has been run.
Thanks in advance

Paul,
Starting from CPUJan2006, these actions will be recorded in registry$history table.
You can find this out by
select ACTION , VERSION, COMMENTS from registry$history;
SQL> select * from registry$history;
ACTION VERSION COMMENTS
CPU 10.2.0.1.0 CPUJan2006
Before CPUJan2006, you may to check it through a crude way of finding CPUXxxYYYY dir and cheking APPLY... and ROLLBACK... log files.

  • Determine which security patch or Critical patch update has been applied

    Hi,
    Anyone know how to determine which security patch or Critical patch update has been applied to the database? For Unix and also Win 2000k database server..
    Thank You

    Use the lsinventory command of opatch (Oracle's patch
    installation tool) to list the patches installed.
    If you have Perl and opatch installed, this is simply
    a matter of typing:
    opatch lsinventory
    from the command line.
    For further information on opatch, see metalink note

    Hope this helps.

  • How do I know if the Maverick software update has been installed on my mac?

    How do I know if the Maverick software update has been installed on my mac?

    It will not download if you already have it.
    Just to be 100% clear …
    Look in /Applications for "Install OS X Mavericks"
    Use the Finders Go menu > Applications. To open it.
    You may have an Applications folder in your Home directory too, it shouldn't be in there but it is possible.
    Also try Spotlight to see if it can find that filename.
    Can you also tell us what system you have?
    Apple menu > About this Mac > more info button… What is the Model (under the Overview tab).
    10.9 doesn't install on all systems, so it could explain why you can't get it, however it usually displays a dialog stating that fact.

  • HT2397 How can I check what region my Macbook pro has been set at.

    How can I check what region my Macbook pro has been set at?

    It will have been set for the region in which it was purchased.

    Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed. However see tis also:

    How can I quit the photos app? It has been trying to create a library for hours but nothing happens. when I try to quit, it won't let me. Have just upgraded from iPhotos so don't want to lose any content.
    Force-quit Photos as recommended by Arsenal1607.
    Make backup of your iPhoto Library and run the iPhoto Library First Aid tools to repair the permissions on your library and rebuild the iPhoto Library.
    To launch the First Aid Tools hold down the  alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhoto Library to launch the iPhoto Library First aid tools. You'd to hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
    Try both the options "Repair Permissions" and "Rebuild library".  Then try again to migrate the iPhoto Library to Photos by dragging it onto the Photos icon in the Dock.
    Make sure, you have plenty of free storage. Don't try the migration, if you are running out of storage.

    Not possible to install any software except from AppStore, unless

  • How to uninstall Labview 8.5 once 8.6 has been installed

    How do you uninstall Labview 8.5 once 8.6 has been installed with windows XP as the OS.

    You should be able to remove the programs with 8.5 in the title from the Add/Remove Hardware sections. However, the recommended method would be to do a complete uninstall and then install 8.6 fresh. This will make sure you have the most complete and stable installation.
