Need info on CPU patches

Hi,
Could someone please explain me what CPU patches are. Is it some security patch?
Is it mandatory to apply these patches every quarter. And if we apply, will there be any performance related issues?
Thanks!

The application of the Oracle quarterly patch CPU set is optional. If your testing requirements are too high to make application of multiple patches per year impractical then you might just apply every other or even one of the patch sets per year. The CPU patches are cumulative so if you apply the most recent you have all the prior patches.
The above is providing you do not need a specific fix provided by one of the patch sets. You current version of Oracle and when you plan to upgrade may also be a factor in determining if you need/want to apply a specific CPU.

  • Need info about 9004119 patch

    Hi,
    I'm currently trying active/passive configuration with oracle RAC, and found that Oracle RAC one node is the solution. During my search, i also found some forum explaining how to convert to RAC one node and says that i need to download patch -9004119. This patch would be installed on RAC and so on.
    I'm just not able to find this patch, Could anyone provide me the downloadable/installable or the link of *9004119*
    Also, any examples or links of active/passive failovers would be really helpful. I'm doing trial and error method from a long time but no luck!
    Just to mention,
    Oracle RAC : active /active: mainly used for load balacing.
    Oracle RAC one node: Active/passive : mainly used for cold failovers
    Thanks in advance!
    Cheers
    Megha

    Again, RAC one-node enables you, in certain scenarios, to have 2 instances up for a specific amount of time. If you need only active-passive without the option to have 2 instances up you can use the Oracle database as a regular resource. You can read about it here: http://blogs.oracle.com/xpsoluxdb/entry/clusterware_11gr2_setting_up_an_activepassive_failover_configuration
    You can read about RAC one node here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e16795/onenode.htm#RACAD7894
    And again, I don't know about the patch, but I'm trying to understand if you need rac one-node, or maybe a regular active-passive is enough for you.

  • Need info about CPU and HDD for Tecra 8200

    Hi Guys im new and have just bought the above laptop. However i want a faster CPU and bigger Harddrive (10GIG at the mo after 40 GIG if possible) and my CPU is Intel Pentium III 750MHZ. Please could someone point me in the right direction of where i can get a 40 gig h/drive for the right sort of money and what is the fastest / suggest CPU i can get / go for.
    Thanks for your help .

    Hi
    The fact is that the Tecra 820 was delivered with different CPUs:
    PIII-M (Mobile) 750MHz;
    PIII-M (Mobile) 850MHz;
    PIII-M (Mobile) 900MHz;
    PIII-M (Mobile) 1.0GHz
    In this case the fastest CPU which you can use is a PIII 1GhZ.
    However the CPU changing is not easy and you should change anything if you have no experience.
    Important: You will loose the warranty if you open the notebook.
    Furthermore in my opinion you need also a high performance cooling module because the new CPU will produce more warmness.
    I have also found a information that this unit was delivered with 10GB; 20GB; 30GB HDDs. I think you will have no problems to use a 40GB HDD. The compatible one you can order from the Toshiba service partner.

  • Oracle 10g CPU patch

    Oracle 10g on Windows server 2003. I need to do CPU patch. I follow the patch instructions, but I have some questions:
    1. back up %oracle_home% directory. Is this just to copy whole directory to different disk?
    2. clean shutdown all Oracle services: I know this includes db, listener, db control, anything else?
    3. The Db has ASP application on the top. How to shutdown application? what components should I look at?
    Webserver that uses Oracle client in the mid-tier?
    4. What does ODBC application mean?
    5.What does this mean? "make sure no applications are using the driver sqora32.dll"
    6.What does "Oracle Instant Client" mean? Is this regular Oracle client tool installed on application server? I guess not.
    Appreciate any help.

    My question: Is this just to copy to different disk OR you have other way to do it?It is a suggestion that will allow you to recover. In some cases (non-production) I will skip this step.
    In production, I will ask the Backup team to make an extra backup of the entire ORACLE_HOME so they can do a quick restore if I mess up. (Then I'll be extra careful not to mess up.)
    And yes, if you are comfortable that a disk copy will be sufficient to do a complete restore, then that should be OK as well.
    >

    I don't have ASM or ClusterwareThe you probably don't need to worry about it.
    If you have any other Oracle stuff (BI Suite, SOA Suite, etc) that tries to log on to the database, these must be made aware of the outage - usually by shutting them down. Even if they are not on the same server.
    >
    3.What does this mean? "make sure no applications are using the driver sqora32.dll"
    My question is where and how can I find this DDL?
    Are you seriously saying you do not have access to an OS file-search tool?
    At least one copy is in ORACLE_HOME/bin
    >
    4. What does "Oracle Instant Client" mean? Is this regular Oracle client tool installed on application server? I guess not.
    My question is that is this tool to get installed on Oracle server or application server? My vendor installed the Oracle server for us, how do I know if this tool got installed or not?It is a completely separate download. It is usually installed at the client, not on the server. However, since you have a vendor install, you may want to discuss this with the vendor.
    The big challenge with Instant Client is that it is not an 'install' . It is just an unzip into an arbitrary directory, and does not get recorded in the registry. So almost impossible to find without the SysAdmin's install notes.

  • CPU patches

    Hi All
    Env Oracle Apps:- 11.5.10.2 , OS :- Solaris 5.10.
    Our database was created on September 2006. Since than none of the CPU patches appplied.
    Now we are planning to apply CPU patches.
    We will need to apply CPU patches from Oct 2006 till date ie 22 quarter cpu patches or directly we can apply the latest January 2012 CPU patches.
    With Regards
    T.K

    Hi again;

  • Need to evaluate CPU or PSU patches

    Hi,
    Our business is on the way of migrating the databases. Before migrating the databases, we need to evaluate whether we need to apply CPU or PSU patches after migration.
    If we are positive on applying CPU patches, then we will migrate the oracle_homes as well, as we have been applying CPU patches after every release.
    In case if we are positive upon PSU patches, then we will be migrating only the databases.
    So with this scenario, we need to evaluate whether we need CPU or PSU. I did a basic analysis and found that PSU contains the CPU plus non-security updates. Therefore applying PSU is beneficial. Also we cannot mixmatch the patches i.e. if we are applying CPU, then we have to apply only CPU patches and if we are applying PSU then we have to apply only PSU patches. However we still need to know further details which could be captured from the answers to below questions.
    1. What are the risks and impacts of applying the patches.
    2. When Oracle releases both CPU and PSU, on what basis can we evaluate whether we need CPU/PSU when we are applying for the 1st time.
    3. If, after a period of time after applying patches, if we encounter any bugs and Oracle recommeds to apply a bug fix, what will be the implication that will be encountered if we have to apply on top of CPU or PSU patches.
    4. Will any situation arise where we need to apply a CPU patch, when we already have been applying PSU patch. If so do we have to rollback all the PSU patches or only the
    5. Do we need to install new oracle_home each time we are applying PSU patch
    6. Are there any ways we can reduce downtime. Are these hot patches. We have reduced our downtime while applying CPU patches by applying through OEM. How do we knoe whether they are hot or cold patches
    These are some of the questions. Maybe later on i may get more questions. But I would like to get a clear idea.
    Note: I had to write this elaborately, so that I can make myself clear on the scenario and also to avoid redundancy while posting messages.
    Thanks

  • Why OPatch 1.0.0.0.57 needed to apply july2007 CPU patch on oracle 9.2?

    what could be the reason to upgrade OPatch utility from older to 1.0.0.0.57 for applying July2007 CPU patch on 9.2

    One of the things about CPUs from now on - they will use a new OPatch 'Napply' capability. See Note:438314.1

  • CPU Patches to EBS

    Hello :
    I have successfully upgraded the system to latest patchsets. The database is already on 11g. The only thing which is pending now is the CPU Patches.
    I know that the Database and the Application tier CPU patch is cumulative where as the EBS suite patch is not cumulative.
    For me to apply the EBS suite CPU's I need to know the current CPU patch applied to it. If I know this then I can probably list all the CPU patches that needs to be applied to the system.Is there any way or query that I can use to get this information.
    Please advice any good reference material to carry out this patching. I want to merge all the EBS patches together and then apply it in one shot.
    Regards,

  • CPU patch July 2010 on Oracle 11.1.0.7 database

    Hi,
    I want to install the July2010 CPU patch (9655014) on a 11.1.0.7 database which was initially created with version 11.1.0.6.
    The README file of the patch states the following about recompiling views:
    3.2.2.2 Recompiling Views in the Database
    You may skip this section if you have recompiled views for this database during the installation of a previous CPU or if the database was created with Release 11.1.0.6 or later.
    So I assumed that I do not need to recompile the views but a little further in the README file I read:
    If you want to check whether view recompilation has already been performed for the database, execute the following statement.
    SELECT * FROM registry$history where ID = '6452863';
    If the view recompilation has been performed, this statement returns one or more rows. If the view recompilation has not been performed, this statement returns no rows.
    When I execute the select it returns no rows. So this is confusing. Should I perform a view recompilation or not?
    And when I execute recompile_precheck_jan2008cpu.sql (strange name for a July 2010 CPU) it says:
    SQL> @recompile_precheck_jan2008cpu.sql
    Running precheck.sql...
    Number of views to be recompiled :1969
    Number of objects to be recompiled :4019
    Please follow the README.txt instructions for running viewrecomp.sql
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    thanks in advance.

    Short answer: you dont need to run view_recompile_jan2008cpu.sql
    Long answer:
    >
    SELECT * FROM registry$history where ID = '6452863';
    If the view recompilation has been performed, this statement returns one or more rows. If the view recompilation has not been performed, this statement returns no rows.
    When I execute the select it returns no rows. So this is confusing. Should I perform a view recompilation or not?
    >
    You will only get an entry in registry$history if you had a database that you had actually run the view_recompile_jan2008cpu.sql script which inserts a row into the table at the end of the script:
    view_recompile_jan2008cpu.sql
    Rem =======================================================================
    Rem Insert values for patch into registry.
    Rem =======================================================================
    INSERT INTO registry$history (action_time, action, id, comments)
            values ( SYSTIMESTAMP, 'CPU', &&PATCH_NUMBER, '&&PATCH_DESC' );
    COMMIT; In your case, you will get no entries in the table BUT you do not have to run the view recompilation so long as the database was created using a patched Oracle home of a release where Oracle says the view recompilation is not required.
    >
    SQL> @recompile_precheck_jan2008cpu.sql
    Running precheck.sql...
    Number of views to be recompiled :1969
    >
    This script has a very simple logic that just generates count of views and dependant objects that would need recompilation. The selection criteria does not include actually checking whether you actually need to apply the view recompilation script.
    You can test this yourself:
    Case#1: Run the recompile_precheck_jan2008cpu.sql on a database where you have applied the view recompilation script. You will find the count shows a non-zero value.
    SQL> col action_time format a32
    SQL> col version format a15
    SQL> col version format a15
    SQL> select action_time, version, id from registry$history where ID=6452863;
    ACTION_TIME                      VERSION                 ID
    24-JUL-10 12.52.15.390000 PM                        6452863
    SQL> @recompile_precheck_jan2008cpu.sql
    Running precheck.sql...
    Number of views to be recompiled :1637
    Number of objects to be recompiled :3487
    Please follow the README.txt instructions for running viewrecomp.sql
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.Case#2: Create a new database using a version that does not require the view recompilation patch. Run the recompile_precheck_jan2008cpu.sql. You will find the view count shows a non-zero value even though you do not need to recompile the views as mentioned in the Oracle patch notes.

  • Need Info to access My Oracle support account

    Hi..
    I need info regrading the My Oracle support account.I came to know that It needs a CSI ,How can I get this CSI ? Will Oracle charge for CSI ? If so , may I know the amount ?
    Actually ,I need to download some patches for Solaris Sparc 10u10 its very urgent .Pls help me
    Thanks in advance.

    A CSI is a "Customer Support Identifier" so you need a support contract to get one, yes.
    You need to talk to your local sales rep to buy it, or, right on the support front page before you log in is a link to [url http://www.oracle.com/support/contact.html]Contact Support

  • Finding CPU patches on oracle support

    I could open a ticket and ask, but that would be a while for a response. Possibly days. So I am going to the patch screen. I am doing a search for CPUJUL2010 and nothing comes back. I need the July one on Solaris Sparc 64 bit.
    on the left there is a security link with a bar graph. I click that and I get alot of things, but I do not get one for 11.1.0.7 (I think 11.1.0.6 will work, but I don't see it. I can check the notes). How do I find exactly what I am looking for? The search feature doesn't work. When I do a search the back button does not appear to work either.
    I also opened up one of the cpu patch notes (not the one I want). All I get is al ist of bug fixes. Is there an easier way than going to each patch and reading the readme notes to see what is fixed? I need to go through all of this to tell management whether there is a critical security whole we just have to patch. I doubt there is, but I need to check.

    for future refrerence. how do i easily find the MOS note for a new CPU patch.
    I dont see a socument that tells me with an overview what is in the CPU patch. I see one, but it just lists a bunch of Patches that are in it and I have to go to each document. That is what I see in the readme. The other documents don't appear to have it.

  • Sapstart fails after installation of CPU-Patch April2009 on Oracle 10.2.0.4

    Hi Experts,
    after installing the CPU-Patch April2009 for Oracle 10.2.0.4, startsap fails with error code 12.
    Starting everything manually works (lsnrctl start, sqlplus and do startup, after that startsap works).
    When the listener and the database are running, things like R3trans -x also work without errors.
    I found a SAP-Note 97953 but I don't know if this is the solution. Some of the oracle-executables in the bin-directory have been modified. So there is a "oracle" and a "oracle0" . The timestamp indicates to me that these files were modified while implementing the CPU-Patch.
    I also checked SAP-Note 583861but with no success.
    regards
    Dirk

    Hi Markus,
    if the database ist down and I execute "R3trans -d" I'll get the following error.

    If the database is up everything works. Here is the output of "R3trans -d"
    R3trans -d
    This is R3trans version 6.18 (release 710 - 08.10.07 - 13:37:00).
    unicode enabled version
    R3trans finished (0000).
    For me this all looks o.k. when the database is down R3trans won't be able to reach it and if the database is up it works. But why I can't then just execute "sapstart" ?

  • Steps to apply cpu patch on RAC

    Hi All,
    I am applying cpu patch to rac environment first time.It is a 2 node rac.Kindly let me know the methods and how to apply cpu patch on 2 node RAC.
    Regards
    Raj

    Hi user8884603,
    as Rajesh has mentioned, all info is in the readme file, but lookout specifically:
    If you can apply the patch while the DB is open or CRS is started.
    If you must apply the patch on all nodes in the cluster or only from 1 node.
    As which user specific tasks must be done.
    Hope this is helpful.
    Regards.
