Need help with Critical Patch Update (CPU)

Dear experts, can someone please help me with below 2 questions :
1. Is there a way that I can find out what is included in the CPU's for application and database? I tried going through readme files but they do not list details of what part of the application will be impacted by these patches. The reason I need this information so that we can narrow our scope for testing. Otherwise we have to test all the modules and that is a pain :-(
2. Can we only apply either database or application CPU's or do we always need to apply them together?
Any help will be greatly appreciated .

1. Is there a way that I can find out what is included in the CPU's for application and database? I tried going through readme files but they do not list details of what part of the application will be impacted by these patches. The reason I need this information so that we can narrow our scope for testing. Otherwise we have to test all the modules and that is a pain :-(The patch README file should tell you what fixes/bugs are included in the patch. If there is no enough information in the README files, then search MOS website and go through the docs. If you still need more details then you may need to log a SR.
2. Can we only apply either database or application CPU's or do we always need to apply them together?You do not have to apply the patches on all tier nodes, and you can apply them either on the database tier node then on the application tier node (or vice versa).
Thanks,
Hussein

  • NEED HELP with ut2004 patch mu

    HEY,
    GREAT PRODUCT..BUT I GOT ONE QUESTION.
    I RECENTLY INSTALLED THE NEW SOUNDBLASTEER X-FI UT2004 PATCH..WOW ITS AMAZING BUT WHEN EVERYTHING IS INPUTED WITH THE SOUND OPTIONS IN THE GAME.. THE "H/W 3D + EAX"... THE MUSIC DOESNT PLAY BUT WHEN I CHOOSE H/W + audio.. THE MUSIC PLAYS REGULAR BUT THE NEW WEAPON SOUNDS AND MUSIC ENHANCEMENT ISNT THERE.. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET THE MUSIC RUNNING IN THIS NEW PATCH, THE WEAPONS R AMAZING.. I JUST NEED HELP WITH THE MUSIC PLAYING.
    thanks,
    DANNY

    Have you actually read what the patch does? If not, check it out here. http://www.soundblaster.com/products/x-fi/technology/ut2004/ What you are hearing is probably it. The weapon sounds itself don't change. It just sounds more immersi've in that you can hear the rockets flying from one side to another more clearly, or hearing flak scattering when it hits the ground, etc.. It's nothing significant, but it does make it a bit more interesting to play.

  • Critical Patch Updates ("CPU") - practical experience?

    I'm trying to gauge whether users in this forum have any practical war stories from applying Oracle Critical Patch Updates. Particularly as it relates to Identity Management and/or Fusion Middleware products.
    In my experience, simply navigating to find the correct patch binaries is a half-day event. Not to mention ensuring you meet all necessary pre-requisites and that those pre-requisites are in-sync with the Certification Matrices.
    Anyone had an issue after applying patches? Had to rollback?
    I realize this is somewhat open-ended, but looking to get some advice before proceeding.

    Hi Jim;
    I belive you should use Critical Patch Updates and Security Alerts and check those patch avaliable by using Opatch utulity and from ad_bugs table

  • NEED HELP WITH IOS 6 UPDATE!!! PLEASE.

    I have an 8GB iPhone. The iOS 6 update says that I need 2.4GB available to update. I deleted all of my apps, 200 pictures out of 400 plus videos. It says only 5.1GB are used but it won't let me update the iOS 6. Help me please?

    So plug the phone into the computer that it normally syncs with and update via iTunes.

  • Need help with "Nokia Software Updater"...Plz

    hi
    plz help me
    every time i try to install
    and it gave me this MSG
    " Error 2738.Could not access VBScript run time for custom action."
    my Lap work with W.vista
    and i have N95-8GB
    plz i need a help to update my phone

    Please do a search on this forum for "6280 software update" and you will have your answer.
    Many people have written here about Nokia software updater that tries to flash their 6280 phones with V6.10 (intended for the 6288) and then breaks their phones.
    I myself was busy downloading the firmware for a friends 6280 that was just minutes away from being flashed with 6.10 when I came across messages on many sites telling about the issue with the software updater and 6280 phones. I managed to save that 6280 from sure doom.
    If you also searched before hand you would not have this trouble.
    You need to take the phone to a nokia Service centre to have it flashed now and get it into a working state.

  • I need help with a software update problem??

    I recently got a new macbook pro and I was doing a software update last night as it was required but then when it started to do the update the computer installed the software and then a barring noise came from the mac and it tried to restart 4 times before it eventually came back on. The software trying to install was Fireware 800 I think. Can anyone help with this?

    Try MacBook notebook forum to talk to other users, or OS Software (Lion or Snow Leopard)
    Does not sound like an Apple OS update though.

  • Does each quarterly Critical Patch Update (CPU) release has to go hand in hand (in sync) with specific desktop JRE updates in order to benefit (partially or fully) from the security fixes , or does each JRE update is independent of the CPU release?

    Since the inceptions to the release dates to Java 7 posted at their website, we're curious if there is a dependency between the CPU update and the JRE client releases? Please explain and/or suggest the best practice approach to keeping both environments in sync. Thank you.

  • I need help with the Security Update 2006-002!

    Security update has really screwed up the two systems I've installed it on:
    1) My G4 PowerBook refused to reboot after the update, getting only as far as the initialApple screen. Rebooting with a 10.4 install disk and using Disk Utilities to try to repair the disk either results in an "Unable to unmount disk" error, or if Repair does proceed, it is unable to repair the disk. I get a "Invalid node structure" error message, then a "Rebuilding B-Tree" message, then a "The Voluma Macintosh HD could not be repaird" message, and Repair quits with a "Error: the underlying task reported failure on exit" message.
    2) On my Dual 2 GHz G5 desktop, Safari appears to be unable to load more than six URL:s in 6 tabs; I read about 20 webcomics all organized in a bookmarks folder, and my usual practice is to select "Open in tabs" to open them all at once. Heretofore Safari has opened all the tabs and all the URLs without a hitch. After the update it will open all the ttabs but only about the first six sites load - all the rest just sit there spinning their wheels.
    Also it has hosed iChat on my Dsktop. iChat will open, but will not send or receive chats, and will not open the buddy window.
    Also Also, the system frequently hangs, seizing up anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes, then resuming normally. Safari seems to be the culprit, but I can't really tell.
    I need an update to recover from the effects of the last update.

    I'm not very knowledgeable on macs yet being a new user (switcher) However, there appear to have been too many problems for too many people and too many systems associated with this update for it to be co-incidental. Take a look through the topics since the update appeared. My computer is brand new. The update did something that screwed something in the startup file (or whatever) The nice man in India helped me get the computer going by removing all sorts of wonderous things, this after his colleague in Cork had sent me all sorts of stuff to my work address to try out when I got home, like pram and nvram (which only made things worse) and other things. Now my computers fixed. Except that there's now no printer, it won't find the drivers off the install discs and any driver I load from canon isn't recognised or a script isn't recognised. I bought this thing to get away from problems like this on PCs!!!!

  • I need help with getting an update for my 1st generation ipod shuffle.

    I am trying to install iTunes and iPod software on my computer but the iPod cd is apparently not compatible with my version of windows. I need to download an update but I cannot get any support because my 1st generation iPod shuffle is not one of the selections available for support. Does anyone know how I can download the update I need?

    Neil, I installed itunes but that hasn't helped the issue I am having with my 1st generation iPod. I have searched and searched but there is nothing that allows me to update my iPod, download to my iPod, all I see is iPhone or iPad, neither of which I happen to own, so I am still at square one with my problem. I can't get any Apple support because my iPod is not one of the choices, no mention of the 1st generation. It's as if it no longer exists and there is no support available. I tried plugging it into my usb port, hoping that something would pop up on the screen and give me guidance, but alas, that failed as well. I feel like this whole thing is an exercise in futility.  Thanks for your attempt to assist me.

  • Need help with Xperia Ray Update and software

    Hello,
    I am here to ask about 2 main topics, I need a professional opinion about them,
    First, I was wondering why My ray doesn't have the 3d camera application although I saw it in other Ray phones from another countries - I am from Egypt - Is that an application that comes with the country?!!
    and why I can see a voice dialer application in settings/applications/manage applications, but when I try to find it and use it, I can't find it's shortcut anywhere?
    Second, I received the new ICS system update 4.0.2.A.0.62 but I haven't installed it yet on my mobile, because I'm afraid that it will affect on the speed and battery of my phone, so I really need your opinion about that, is that update going to slow down my phone or not ?
    and if it is going to slow down my phone, is there any other update that might be better.
    Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas to you all.

    it seems that ICS might not be available in your country and/or by your carrier if you want it

  • I need help with the new update

    I am at a complete loss on what to do. I have been trying to install the new update but it keeps bringing up an error. I have searched on here for some solutions and I believe I am not doing this right. I have uninstalled all the items everyone has suggested (ex. Bonjour...) and rebooted. I went and downloaded iTunes again but two things keep happening:
    1. While the iTunes Setup is installing and pop-up box says "Object already exists" and this pops up multiple times
    and
    2. After those messages go away another pop up says "iTunes Installer completed - Errorc occurred during installation before iTunes could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To complete the installation, run the installer again."
    What am I doing wrong here? Can someone please help me? I have a Windows 7 laptop.

    For "Object already exists" or "Access denied" errors when installing try opening Control Panel > Programs and Features > View installed updates then checking for Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB2918614). Uninstall if you have it, then reboot, and try installing iTunes again.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

  • I need help with iCal after updating to Lion. It's playing up

    I just updated my iMac to Lion 10.7.5 and iCal keeps crashing. iCal is also taking a long time to sync with iCloud for the first time. It's still on 'starting' so I am not sure it's even syncing. Any thoughts/Solutions?

    Mmm, a bit stuck for ideas other than checking Calendar>Preferences>Accounts tab and making sure it's enabled in there.
    If that doesn't help hopefully someone else may spot this thread and have some ideas. Good luck.
