Interim patch and One-off patch

DB version : 11.2
In oracle terminology, Interim patch is same as one-off patch. Right?

Hi;
>
In oracle terminology, Interim patch is same as one-off patch. Right?An Interim Patch (formerly known as a “one-off” patch) is a bug fix (or set of fixes) made available to customers who for business reasons cannot wait until the next Patch Set or new product release to get a fix.

  • PSU and One-off patching on GRID Home

    Grid Infrastructure Version: 11.2.0.2
    Question1.
    Do you apply one-off patches for GI HOME? I have only applied PSUs on Grid Home . I have never applied a one-off patch on a Grid HOME.
    So, I thought of downloading a GRID related one-off patch for AIX . So, I looked for
    12767231 - AIX-11202-GIPC DISABLE SWITCH PORT FOR ONE PRIVATE NIC,HAIP DID NOT FAILOVERwhich is part of GI PSU 11.2.0.2.4 ( 12827731).
    But when I searched for the one-off patch 12767231 in patch search in Metalink, I couldn't find the patch download for this particular bug.
    I think you can apply this one-off patch only as a part of PSU. Right?
    Question2.
    Why on earth should I apply GI's PSU(or one-off patch) on RDBMS_HOME or vice versa?
    RAC Databases run on the top of CRS stack.
    Although related ,both GRID HOME and RDBMS HOME contain different binary files doing different things. So why should we apply GI's PSU/one-off patch on RDBMS_HOME and RDBMS_HOME's PSU on GRID Infrastructure HOME?
    Question3.
    We install grid using Grid Installer GUI. When doing a fresh installation of 11.2.0.2 or 11.2.0.3 in a new server , I want to apply its latest PSU as well. When should I do this PSU patching ?
    A. Before running root.sh ?
    One of last screens we get in Grid Installation is where the installer prompts you to run root.sh (see the screenshot below)
    http://husnusensoy.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/camtasiastudio351.png
    Should I do the PSU patching now ? ie just before executing root.sh ?
    B. or After running root.sh ? ie. After the whole Grid Installation is succesfully complete ?

    Hello There.
    for question number 3. What I do is this:
    1. Execute runinstaller for grid, choose to check for patches, and put those patches in a folder, the next install don't need to go to internet, and reuse the 2 downloaded patches avaliable as today for 11.2.0.3.
    2. patch GI (Grid Infrastucture home)
    3. Install DB Binaries, no db creation
    4. Patch DB Binaries
    5. Create DB using dbca.
    hope this helps.

  • Has someone applied the one off patch for-ONS bug 5749953 SIGBUS ERROR

    Hello all,
    Env:: 10g on Soalris
    I need to apply the one-off patch for
    Bug:5749953 -- ONS SIGBUS ERROR AFTER INSTALL PATCHSET 10.2.0.3 FOR CRS
    Usually for any CPU we issue opatch apply from the patch directory.
    and its mentioned in the readme.html as well.
    But for this one off patch, there isn't anything mentioned in the readme.html.
    All it says is
    #  6. Patch the Files
    #    6.1 Patch the CRS home files
    #    After unlocking any protected files and saving configuration settings
    #    you are now ready to run opatch using the following command.
    #    As the Oracle Clusterware (CRS) software owner;
    #    % opatch apply -local -oh <CRS_HOME>
    #    Note: In configuration A, invoke this only on one node.
    #    6.2 Patch the RDBMS home files.
    #    Alert: The RDBMS portion can only be applied to an RDBMS home that
    #          has been upgraded to 10.2.0.3.0.
    #    For additional information please read Note.363254.1;
    #    Applying one-off Oracle Clusterware patches in a mixed version home
    #    environment
    #    As the RDBMS software owner;
    #    % opatch apply custom/server/5749953 -local -oh <RDBMS_HOME>
    #    Note: In configuration A, invoke this only on one node.Could someone let me know from where i should give 'opatch apply' if patch.zip files are unzipped in /export/home/oracle/5749953  ? TIA,
    JJ

    The patch can always be installed in 2 ways.
    1. Do a cd and then run opatch
    cd <patchlocation>
    opatch apply
    2. Else specify the patch location as an argument
    opatch apply <full path to the patch i.e the one you do cd above> ...
    Both the above styles yield same result.

    Apply a list of one-off patches identified for our environment (which are not included in 10.2.0.5.3)
    Query:
    If the one-off patches identified to be applied in our environment are available only top of 10.2.0.5.0 and not for 10.2.0.5.3, then which of the following mentioned solutions should be proceed with considering :
    Upgrade the database to 10.2.0.5.0, apply the one-off patches available on top of 10.2.0.5.0 and then apply the 10.2.0.5.0 PSU3
    or
    Upgrade the database to 10.2.0.5.0, apply the 10.2.0.5.0 PSU3, request for one-off patches on top of 10.2.0.5.3 and appy the same

  • Are One-Off patches client specific?

    Hi
    Are One-Off patches client specific? I have a document which lists the patches applied to Oracle Home on existing server and I have to apply the same patches to a new server that I am building. I searched for all the patches listed but the "one-Off" patch listed cannot be found by the search.
    Please let me know.

    Hmm... maybe I should have provided a bit more info.
    The server i am configuring is 10gR2 (client is still using this release and have extended support - so downloading patches should not be a problem). I have to move DBs from existing server to a new one. Before i do that, I have to install exact same binaries (rel and patches) that have been applied to existing server. The document I have been provided contains list of patches applied to oracle home (10.2.0.5). Among the list of patch numbers, this is the only one I could not find.
    The do you have referred to is for 11g not 10g.

    then you need to follow Srini's suggestion regarding cloning the oracle home.

  • OS and DB Security patches and updates

    Dear Experts,
    We are going through SOX audits. Auditor is asking me about applied latest OS and Oracle patches to secure SAP systems from threats and attacks.
    I told them that we are running on Solaris 9 with Oracle 9.2.0.5
    and our severs are behind CHECKPOINT Firewall, and also we have never faced any security breaches and threats and also not facing any performance and efficiency problems in our system.
    However, they still persist me about critical security patches for Solaris and Oracle.
    Please tell me should I go for applying security patches of Solaris or Oracle if any. I am very worried about possible problems after applying of those security patches.
    Please guide me about this issue and tell me about proven and trusted security patches for Solaris 9 and Oracle 9.2.0.5
    Best Regards
    Waqas Ahmad

    > I told them that we are running on Solaris 9 with Oracle 9.2.0.5
    First I would like to tell you that your current Oracle version is out of extended support (see SAP on Oracle and the notes the first chapter points to). To get actual (security) patches I would highly recommend upgrading to 10.2.0.4.
    > However, they still persist me about critical security patches for Solaris and Oracle.
    They do that because most of the "attacks" to server come from internal users, not from external.
    > Please guide me about this issue and tell me about proven and trusted security patches for Solaris 9 and Oracle 9.2.0.5
    For the operating system I would use pca (Patch Check Advanced) - a free too to download and install patches - works like charm (http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/). It can be configured to only download and install security relevant patches.
    For Oracle you should install the latest patchset (for 9.2 it's 9.2.0.8 and all the necessary interim patches) and the critical patch updates. However, those CPUs may conflict with necessary other patches so you can either use CPU or the necessary interim patches.

  • Difference between Rollup patch and family pack

    Hi all,
    thanks in advance to you all who helps me out with this question
    can any one differentiate between Rollup patch and Family pack patch.
    thanks,
    Vamshi.D

    In addition to the above ...
    Rollup Patch (RUP): An aggregation of patches that may be at the functional level, or at a specific product/family release level. For example, a Flexfields rollup patch contains all the latest patches related to Flexfields at the time the patch was created. A Marketing Family 11.5.10 rollup patch contains all the latest Marketing patches released since, and applicable to 11.5.10
    Family Pack: An aggregation of patches at the product family level. Family product codes always end in "_PF" and family packs are given alphabetical sequence such as 11i.HR_PF.B, 11i.HR_PF.C, and 11i.HR_PF.D. Family packs are cumulative. In other words, Discrete Manufacturing Family Pack G (11i.DMF_PF.G) contains everything in 11i.DMF_PF.F, which contains everything in 11i.DMF_PF.E, and so on.
    If you search the rollup patch thru Metalink, it would tell you whether it is included in any other patchset (i.e. Family Pack) or not.

  • Why can I only see ten text messages?  If i receive an 11th message it automatically knocks the last one off.  Please help, it's driving me mad!!!

    I have an Iphone 4s and my friends can see all text messages, going back years but I can only see the last ten.  If I receive any more than 10 it just knocks the last dated ones off!  I have not deleted any so if I haven't deleted any then they must be there but I can't access them.  Somebody please help - i've tried everything and gone through every menu!!

    I have had a similiar issue with this as well. It gets even scetcher when you create the file extension dynamically.
    Technically if one is clever they can create something like this and make the file extension and output format dynamic. What ends up happening is the file extension will get stripped.
    I logged a tar with oracle. Kevin in support told me to upgrade to the latest one off patch, I did. The issue still persisted. Kevin then stated, using the java api's is unsupported sucks to be me huh.
    Example:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <xapi:requestset xmlns:xapi="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xapi" type="bursting">
    <xapi:request select="/XXBOL_POXPRPOP/LIST_G_INIT_INFO/G_INIT_INFO/LIST_G_HEADERS/G_HEADERS">
    <xapi:delivery>
    <xapi:filesystem id="save1" output="/u20/app/DUVS1/apduvs1/applmgr/apps/apps_st/appl/xxbol/1.0.0/temp/bursted/Output_${POH_PO_NUM}.${FILE_EXT}"/>
    </xapi:delivery>
    <xapi:document output-type="${FILE_OUPUT_FORMAT}" delivery="save1">
    <xapi:template type="xsl-fo" location="xdo://XXBOL.XXBOL_POXPRPOP_TP1.en.GB"/>
    </xapi:document>
    </xapi:request>
    </xapi:requestset>
    Anyways, it seems like whenever there is an error or mistake anywhere pdf is defaulted (just like you said). It would be much better if it just bombed.
    For the sake of doubt try changing it to:
    /XXBOL_POXPRPOP/LIST_G_INIT_INFO/G_INIT_INFO/LIST_G_HEADERS/G_HEADERS/POH_PO_NUM
    There is zero doubt this node and value should be available to the burster. If that doesn't work it's tar time. Verify the xpath is good in cooktop or xml spy.

    I have been updating my PSE since 10. Recently I purchased PSE13 as I didn't see an update for my 12. I was changing to a new laptop as my old laptop had been patched and worked and was showing signs of giving out. It was a Window's 7OS. My new one is a Windows 8 OS so I bought the 13 and downloaded it on the new laptop. Our desktop had died so I downloaded the 13 on the new  desk computer also. Not thinking I downloaded 13 on my old laptop as I hope to get it patched up enough to be a backup for my photography. When I tried to activate it I realized that I had downloaded it too often. I didn't know you could only use it on two computers. Learn something new every day.. Any way I removed it and now my PSE 12 does not seem to be working. Now it could be something that I did or something that is an issue with the laptop. this laptop has all the previous editions on board as I always tried to update, except for the year I got a really good deal on Black Friday. I also notice that the new laptop has a copy of PSE 12 in the program list. To my knowledge I have never deactivated any of my PSE's except the extra 13 downloaded. Bottom line, do I need to go in and deactivate previous PSE versions and removed them from my computer? I could certainly use the space and secondly, can I deactivate the PSE 12 and then go back and reacitivate it and install it again on the old laptop or the desktop, whichever I deside would be the most appropriate place for the newer program. For the PSE 12 since it is an updater for 11, does the 11   still need to be on the laptop? thanks for anyone who can understand what I am trying to say and can advise me as to my next move. Thank you very much.
