Newbie Question: - Which Patch Sets/Interim Patches to install?

We have 6 Oracle 10.2.3.0 Databases (AIX5.3 64bit) including a 10.2.3.0 Grid Db, Now I have stated to investigate the possibility of patching our new Db/Infrastructure using GRID patching wizard (Deployment > Patch Oracle Software) . The question I have it what patches will I install? All of them? to all Db ? How do I know which to install and which ones not to install?
When I run the Patch Oracle Software wizard, It queries my metal ink account and pulls back around 460 patches?
If anybody could help or provide a link to some more information it would be a great help.

CPU patches have the interim patches in them, so no need to do them individually.
I suspect that the patches to apply isn't the issue here; rather, the TESTING you need to do, so as not to introduce nasty stuff by accident. e.g. a new tweak to the CBO/whatever in a CPU may suddenly make lots of your important queries behave strangely. Always patch your test system first, and spend real time ensuring that nothing bizarre has happened to your system. It's always a panic-inducing time uninstalling patches, so get it right up-front.

Distinction among terms: Oracle Patch Set, Oracle Patch Bundle, ecc

Hi to all,
a customer asked me to update an Oracle database 10.1.3.0 on Windows 32 platform. THe only patches installed are **5556081** and *5557962*..
I looked for new updated patches and I founded some Oracle Recommended Patches ID 756671.1 and Oracle Patch Bundles ID 1207176.1 for 10.2.3.0.
Honestly I don't know how to proceed in the sense that i don't know if it is better to apply these bundle patches or to go directly to Oracle Patch Set 10.2.4.0 or 10.2.5.0 for a better update.
What is the difference between Oracle Patch Bundle and Oracle Patch Set?? and the difference between Oracle patch Set and Oracle Patch Set Update???
Any help will be well appreciated..I need to do this update asap
Thanks in advance

Pl clarify what you mean by "10.1.3.0", "10.2.3.0", "10.2.4.0" and "10.2.5.0" - there a no such Oracle versions
I believe you mean 10.1.0.3, 10.2.0.3, 10.2.0.4 and 10.2.0.5
If so, all of the above are patch sets on top of the base release (10.1 or 10.2). It is always recommended to update to the latest patch set release.
Pl note that both 10.1 and 10.2 are de-supported - you should be using the latest 11gR2 version.
Patch set updates (PSU) are additional bundled fixes on top of patch sets - see this MOS Doc

Question about 10.2.0.5.1 Patch Set Update (Patch 9952230)

Hello,
I just installed the latest patchset update, without any errors. I followed carefully the README, nothing too much complicated.
So, when I log in my instance with SQL*Plus the banner message is:
Connected to:

With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing optionsIs it normal that it's not shown as 10.2.0.5.1 release?
When I query the DBA_REGISTRY_HISTORY, it shows:

Stupid newbie question here: When setting up for hot sync, both PC and smartphone will ask for "device name" but how do I know which devide I'm naming? If I'm on the phone, do I specify the phone or the computer; and vice versa.

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
It's more like naming the partnership. By "naming" your device is doesn't do anything harmful. If you name it Pat's Treo, when syncing it tot he computer, hotsync will say "Syncing with Pat's Treo." You can name your device Fido for all it matters.

Java newbie questions...Setting the classpath in Unix

When you set the classpath, how do you include anything already in the classpath? For instance, if your profile sets your classpath to
"/home/weblogic/:home/weblogic/weblogic.jar, and you want to add MyJar.jar to it, can you enter:
export classpath=~:MyJar.jar
My question really boils down to how do you prefix the existing CLASSPATH environment variable to any new classes or jars you want to add to it. I think it's the tilde, but I'm not sure.

In csh, the CLASSPATH environment variable is modified with the setenv command. The format is:
setenv CLASSPATH path1:path2
In sh, the CLASSPATH environment variable can be modified with these commands:
CLASSPATH = path1:path2:...
export CLASSPATH
====
(From the Sun documentation)
or, in sh,
export CLASSPATH=path1:path2
should work

About patche set in oracle

i want to know the oracle release number format installed in my system i get 10.2.0.1.0 using the product_component_version
here, the last digit indicates the patch set.
i didnt understand what is meant by patch set?even not able to differentiate all the sections?
so just i want to know what each digit specifies and what is meant by the patch set?
what is the relationship with the platform to this patch set?

Patch Set is the The fourth digit, component specific release number of 11.2.0.3. Oracle Support adds new features to the Patch Set.
Patch Set Update is the fifth number 11.2.0.2.3; Every 3 months or so, Oracle Support release a Patch Set Update (PSU) to fix Patch Set bugs and does not add any new features to the PSU.
Now, you may ask what about the other 3 digits; the first, the second and the third?
The first digit is the major version, in our case 11g. The second digit is the release number, in our case it is release 2 also called (11g release 2 or shortly 11gR2) with major upgrades and major new features. The third digit is Oracle application specific number, always equal to 0 for database software.

Oracle 9.2.0.3.0 patch set for windows - questions

Hi!
I have for that some questions. I have oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on a windows 2003 server running with one local database - no real apllication cluster.
I don't understand which instructions I have to make for oracle upgrade?
Must I also make the 3. instruction? Connect to databse prior and drop?
Must I also make the post install action for my database?
(startup migrate ...)
what means at post install actions the following:
'execute these post install actions only if you have one or more databases associated to the upgraded $oracle_homee.
My database path is e:\oracle\oradata\database my oracle path is e:\oracle\ora92 have I in my case make the post install actions?
Thanks for help!
1. When applying this patchset on Windows NT, XP or Windows 2000, you must log onto the system as a user with Administrative privileges
(e.g. as a user which is a member of the local Administrators group).
2. Unzip the downloaded patch set file into a new directory.
3. Drop the xmlconcat function by running the following commands:
drop public synonym xmlconcat;
drop function xmlconcat;
4. Shut down any existing Oracle Server instances in the ORACLE_HOME to be patched with normal or immediate priority. i.e.: Shutdown all instances (cleanly). Stop the database services, and stop all listener, agent and other Oracle processes running in or against the ORACLE_HOME to be installed into.
5. Perform the following pre-install steps for Real Application Clusters (RAC) enviroments only:
IN ADDITION TO STOPPING ALL ORACLE SERVICES IN THE ORACLE_HOME TO BE UPGRADED:
If you are running in a RAC enviroment, stop the following Windows service(s)/devices(s) using the Net Stop command:
Stop the Windows service named "OracleGSDService"
Stop the Windows service named "OracleCMService9i".
Stop the Windows device named "OraFenceService" (This Device does NOT show up as a Service in the Control Panel).
For Example:
C:\>net stop OracleGSDService
C:\>net stop OracleCMService9i
C:\>net stop OraFenceService
Once the above steps have been performed on all the nodes of the cluster, you should then be able to upgrade the OSD components to the 9.2.0.3 versions. This can be accomplished by...
xcopy all the files in the \Disk1\preinstall_rac\osd\*.* directory to the directory in which the OSD components were originally installed on all nodes(typically %SystemRoot%\system32\osd9i).
Note: You may also be able to look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle\OSD9i registry key to determine the directory in which the original OSD components were installed. Now the OSD components can be restarted on all the nodes in the cluster.
C:\>net start OraFenceService
C:\>net start OracleCMService9i
C:\>net start OracleGSDService
After all of the above steps have been completed on all the nodes of the cluster, you are now ready to proceed with the Oracle 9.2.0.3.0 patchset installation.
6. Start the installer:
If the current Installer version is less than 2.2.0.18.0 then download the Installer 2.2.0.18.0 from Oracle Metalink where it can be accessed with the bug number 2878462 and choosing the MS Windows NT/2000 Server platform, then run the setup.exe 2.2.0.18.0 from the C:\Program Files\Oracle\oui\install directory .
7. You may install the Patch Set through either an interactive or a silent installation.
To perform an interactive installation using the Oracle Universal Installer graphical interface:
1. Start the installer from the newly installed OUI 2.2.0.18.0 by running the version of setup.exe located at C:\Program Files\Oracle\oui\install and verify
that the version of the OUI GUI is 2.2.0.18.0 before proceeding.
2. Follow the steps given below within the installer:
1. On the Welcome screen, click the Next button. This will display the File Locations screen.
2. Click the Browse button for the Source... entry field and navigate to the stage directory where you unpacked
the Patch Set tar file.
3. Select the products.jar file. Click the Next button
The products file will be read and the installer will load the product definitions.
The products to be loaded will be displayed (verify ORACLE_HOME setting for this first).
4. Verify the products listed and then click on the Install button.
5. Once the installation has completed successfully, it will display End of Installation. Click on Exit and confirm
to exit the installer.
To perform a silent installation requiring no user intervention:
1. Copy the response file template provided in the response directory where you unpacked the Patch
Set tar file.
2. Edit the values for all fields labeled as "<Value Required>" according to the comments and examples
in the template.
3. From the unzipped patchset installation area, start the installer by running the setup executable passing
as the last argument the full path of the response file template you have edited locally with your own
value of ORACLE_HOME and FROM_LOCATION:
setup.exe -silent -responseFile <full_path_to_your_response_file>
Post Install Actions
Execute these "Post Install Actions" only if you have one or more databases associated to the upgraded $ORACLE_HOME.
Important Notes
1: Java VM and XML DB Requirements
Users who have JVM (Java enabled) or JVM and XDB installed on their 9.2.0.1 databases should make sure that the init.ora parameters shared_pool_size and java_pool_size are each 150 MB or more before running the catpatch.sql upgrade script. Failure to do so could result in an unrecoverable memory failure during running of the script. Please note that JVM and XML DB was shipped as part of the default 9.2.0.1 seed database and will be present unless the user explicitly installed a 9.2.0.1 instance without them.
2: SYSTEM table space
If you have JServer installed in the database, you should check to be sure there is at least 10M of free space in the SYSTEM table space before running these actions.
3: Installing on Cluster Databases
If you are applying this patch set to a cluster database, then set the CLUSTER_DATABASE initialization parameter to false. After the post-install actions are completed, you must set this initialization parameter back to true.
To complete the installation of this patch set, you need to start up each database associated with the upgraded $ORACLE_HOME, start the database listener (e.g., lsnrctl start), login using SQL*Plus (e.g., sqlplus "/ as sysdba"), and run the following commands/scripts in order from $ORACLE_HOME within a MIGRATE session. If you are using the OLAP option, make sure that the database listener is up.
startup migrate
spool patch.log
@rdbms/admin/catpatch.sql
spool off
Review the patch.log file for errors and re-run the catpatch script after correcting any problems
shutdown
startup
This step is optional - it will recompile all invalid PL/SQL packages now rather than when accessed for the first time - you can also use utlrcmp.sql to parallelize this in multiprocessor machines:
@rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
Execute the following if you use Oracle OLAP option:
alter user olapsys identified by <password> account unlock
connect olapsys/<password>
@cwmlite/admin/cwm2awmd.sql
exit
Execute the following script only if you have version 9.2.0.1.0 of Oracle Internet Directory installed in your ORACLE_HOME. Make sure that the database and database listener are running and that all parameters are specified prior to running the script:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/oidpatchca.bat
-connect <Connect String>
-lsnrport <Listener Port>
-systempwd <SYSTEM Password>
-odspwd <ODS Password>
-sudn <Super-User DN>
-supwd <Super-User Password>
-dippwd <Password to register DIP Server>
Where:
connect - Database connect string
lsnrport - Database Listener port
systempwd - Password of the database 'SYSTEM' user
odspwd - Password of the database 'ODS' user
sudn - Super-user DN
supwd - Super-user Password
dippwd - New password to register Directory Integration Server. This password must conform to the password policy in the OID server
Execute the following steps only is you are using the RMAN catalog.:
rman catalog <user/passwd@alias>
upgrade catalog;
upgrade catalog;

I don't understand which instructions I have to make for oracle upgrade?
-- You have to follow all the instructions mentioned
(Just check for few if's for Cluster enabled, OID and OLAP databases. Perform these steps only if they apply)
Must I also make the 3. instruction? Connect to databse prior and drop?
-- Yes you should do
Must I also make the post install action for my database?
(startup migrate ...)
-- Yes. Do run catpatch.sql .
what means at post install actions the following:
'execute these post install actions only if you have one or more databases associated to the upgraded $oracle_homee.
-- In this step make sure you do step 1
1: Java VM and XML DB Requirements
Otherwise catpatch.sql will fail.
Do 2 and 3 only if applicable

Each patch/patchset has a readme file. This file describes how to apply a patch.

Which is the prefered way to rollback a patch set?

Hello,
I am about to apply a patch set to my test database 10.2.0.3. Because of a bug, I need to patch up to patch #27 (7353785). From reading the patch doc, it suggested I backup the ORACLE_HOME mountpoint and also the inventory directory. There is a rollback procedure for rolling back the patch as well.
1) If after the patch has been applied, what would be the best way to back out of the patch say, after the database has been running for a few days after the patch?
2) What would be the best way to back out of the patch, a few hours after the patch?
3) which is preferred, using the rollback procedure (opatch rollback -id 7353785) or using the backup ORACLE_HOME and backup inventory directory taken just before the patch is applied?
Thank you.

1) If after the patch has been applied, what would be the best way to back out of the patch say, after the database has been running for a few days after the patch? Use opatch, last option restore from backup.
