How do I determine if a patch can be applied hot or not?

Hi,
I know that some patches like the financials help patch can be applied hot, ie not only while the apps instance is completely up, but while people are working etc. I would be using the -hotpatch option to avoid maintenenance mode, AND doing this during the day while every is logged in and working.
I do I know what patches are available to put in this way? For example we need to apply a small patch 9056607. Do I need to ask support each time?
Is there a way to determine this?
Thanks MH

Hussein,
That's too bad -- that its on a case-by-case basis. I wish Oracle would mark patches as able to be applied hot or not.
I will ask in the S/R.
Can we continue this discussion, so that I can gage this better in the future? In general, what actions would I want to see or not see in the *.drv?
For me, at least right now, I would consider it safe for -hotpath if there is only simple copying, without any sql. Would you agree or are there other things that are do-able?
I looked at the driver file for this particular patch. It looks to me like there are indeed too many other things happening in addition to copy:
$ more u9056607.drv ( of 11i patch more u9056607.drv, with blank lines ad lines containing only a '#' removed):
---thanks in advance for your input.

  • How do I determine the size of an event (cmd I does not show any size for events).

    How do I determine the size of an Event in iPhoto? (Cmd + I does not show size information at the event level).

    If you're running iPhoto 8 (09) select the event and look at the Info pane at the lower left hand corner of the window.  It will give you the number of photos and size:
    for iPhoto 9 (11) open the Event, select all of the photos in it and open the Info drawer at the right by typing Command+i.  The number of photos and size will be at the top of the Info drawer.

    Hi,
    You just need to download all the patch parts in one directory and extract it there. You should have one directory which contains all the patch files in one place (as any other patch).
    Make sure you follow all the steps in the following note when applying this patch.

  • How do I determine what my early termination fee will be?

    My phone broke last week. The ear piece is distorted but it still works using a headset. I went into the store to see about fixing it. The don't work on LG Chocolates and I was told the replacement is an LG Extravert. I inquired about getting a new phone and using the value of the Extravert towards the new phone but was told they don't do that. I have been paying insurance on my phone for a couple years now and thought that meant I'd get a phone that was as good as my Chocolate. (removed) Since they would not work anything out with me(a 15 year customer with a family of 4 plan), I had them send me the Extravert. The store clerk said it was going to be there the next day. Apparently next day means over-the-weekend. So I was out of town the beginning of the week and didn't get to open the box until yesterday. The Extravert came incomplete with no battery nor back. It is also clown-red. The specs show it is clearly not an equal replacement for my Chocolate. Whatever... Anyway I got to argue with 2 Verizon reps on the phone about how it was not an equivalent phone for about an hour at one point being told that i had the option of selling the Extravert back to them for, much to my chagrin, $1. I pay $6 a month to insure my phone and they will send me a phone they value at $1!. I asked how much they would sell me the Extravert for and the rep said around $175! So you can probably see why I am not a happy customer. 15 years of loyalty and they can't do a thing to help me and don't seem to care. I realize it is not the person I talk to on the phones company and I am just one person so I am small potatoes. Again, whatever... So after the frustration of the last week, I have decided I need to end my relationship here and move on. So after venting, how does Verizon determine the early termination fee? Thanks in advance for your responses and a big no-thanks to Dorothy (removed) who was one of the exasperating folks I got to argue with for an hour yesterday...

    You can't cancel service online.  However, if you  are moving to another carrier, start service with them and port your number - that will initiate the  cancellation from Verizon.  You also have to have an active line of service to port your number; if you cancel before starting service with someone else, your number is lost.
    Backdating an increased data allowance is preferable and allowed - prorating is why you can't backdate a reduction.  It will most likely result in overages in a majority of situations, defeating the purpose of the reduction, so it is simply not possible to do.  The reduced allowance will take effect the next billing cycle.

  • How to dynamically determine Receivers within BPM

    I’m trying to design a way to determine my receivers within my BPM process during runtime.   My Scenario is as follows:
    SAP IDOC
        V
      XI
                 XI uses JAVA Mapping MT1 to determine vendors and if customer receives PIDX
                             JAVA Mapping MT2 to creates the PIDX output file if required
      V
    SENDs to required Vendor (PIDX if required otherwise email)
    My problem is how to dynamically determine the appropriate receiving vendor for my PIDX.
    I can not use the condition editor on the standard Receiver Determination because the output message (PIDX) doesn't have specific enough information to determine the vendor.
    Other than the customer number there are no other values and we don't want to use customer number because each vendor can have multiple customer numbers (hundreds).
    I've tried various attempts but none seem to work.  This could also be because I have limited knowledge of BPMs and this is my first complex development.  Below are the different attempts I've made at dynamically determining the receiver.  Any input would be appreciated.
    Receiver Scenario 1 
      I developed an interface mapping with MT1 as input and the SAP Receiver Determination as output.  The problem is for me to use this, the interface mapping had to reference the PIDX output (MT2 instead of MT1) which has no data that I can use to determine the receiver.
    Receiver Scenario 2
    I added a receiver step right before my send step and used the receiver list.  This appears to send the PIDX to everyone in the list and there is no way to evaluate or eliminate a name from the list. 
    Receiver Scenario 3
    I created a context object in the Integration Builder and assigned it to a field in MT1.  I then added a switch step with a branch for each vendor.  Within each specific branch there is a Send step that has the context object name I created in the "Send Context" field.  However, on the configuration side I’m unable to access the context object which I created on the design side.  Whenever I open the condition editor and select the radiobutton for "Context Object" the list  does not include the context object I created in the Integration Builder.

    Hi,
    Try using the enhaced receiver determination concept.
    Maybe based on certain field values you can write a UDF which calculates the receiver.

  • Hi, I don't know how to find a specific security patch to apply to my Oracle database version to fix a vulnerability

    Hi, I don't know how to find a specific security patch to apply to my Oracle database version 11.2.0.2.0 (on windows server 2003 32 bits) to fix the following vulnerability:
    Risk: High
    Application: oracle_tnslsnr
    Port: 1521
    Protocol: tcp
    Synopsis:
    It is possible to register with a remote Oracle TNS listener.
    Description:
    The remote Oracle TNS listener allows service registration from a remote host. An attacker can exploit this issue to divert data from a
    legitimate database server or client to an attacker-specified system.
    Successful exploits will allow the attacker to manipulate database instances, potentially facilitating man-in-the-middle, sessionhijacking,
    or denial of service attacks on a legitimate database server.
    Solution:
    Apply the work-around in Oracle's advisory.
    Thank you for your help

  • How do I determine what the default font for equations is?

    In the Equation Fonts dialog box, we can set the font of Functions, Numbers, Strings, and Variables.  In those dropdown lists, there is a Default (para) Font choice.  How do I determine what font that is?  What paragraph tag is associated with an equation?
    With all the choices set to default, numbers types in the equation look similar (but not exact) to the Symbol font, but of course typing letters in the Symbol font reveal greek characters.  So is it some derivation of Symbol?

    Thanks.  That .cfg file shows Times Regular for the following characters, but none of these characters are the regular alphabet, (are they?) so there must be yet another place?
    mathchar.cfg    53      < plus        2b Times Regular>
    mathchar.cfg    54      < equal       3d Times Regular>
    mathchar.cfg    70      < gg          c8 Times Regular>
    mathchar.cfg    71      < ll          c7 Times Regular>
    mathchar.cfg    93      < fact        21 Times Regular>
    mathchar.cfg    94      < dagger      a0 Times Regular>
    mathchar.cfg    98      < minus       d0 Times Regular>
    mathchar.cfg    106      < uequal      3d Times Regular>
    mathchar.cfg    112      < diff        64 Times Regular>
    mathchar.cfg    116      < ucomma      2c Times Regular>
    mathchar.cfg    117      < semicolon   3b Times Regular>
    mathchar.cfg    118      < optotal     64 Times Regular>
    mathchar.cfg    127      < power       5e Times Regular>
    I've determined (by comparing equation string to body string visually) that Times is in fact the font being used.  I just don't see yet how that gets determined.  Any further thoughts?

  • How do I determine what URL to use when launching to display a RH10 .htm page?

    Hello,
    We are implementing RoboHelp 10 for our online documentation and are sourcing it from Framemaker 11. I am trying to determine exactly what URL information the developers need to build for the launch to the specific IBM System i screen. Is anyone launching RoboHelp from a backend ERP system? If so, how did you determine what level to use when building the URL for that page?  Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

    It depends on whether you just want to open the help at the default topic or open context sensitive topics.
    Both methods are described in Calling Help on my site and there is more good information at http://www.wvanweelden.eu
