Oracle cpu patch apr/july/oct/jan

Hi Guys,
Need you advise here.
Do you guys always apply the cpu patch upon released by oracle? Is it a good practise to do so?
Does CPU patch only consist of security fix or also bug fix?
thanks

It is recommended to apply CPU patches as soon as possible. CPU patches only fix security issues, they do not contain other bug fixes.

  • Oracle Critical Patch Update  - July 2008

    Hi All,
    How I can get the information about bug fixed in Oracle Critical Patch Update - July 2008?
    or send me any link...
    Thanks..

    Well, it all depends on which specific release you are talking about. CPU's are provided for Oracle 9iR2 (9.2.0.8.0) up to the latest available oracle version. They are also available for other non RDBMS oracle products.
    If you want to get information about CPU's you may take a look at this reference: --> Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory - July 2008, from this point on you can drill down to find out information about your specific oracle version.
    This information is publicly available and up to this point you don't need a support contract to review this information. Support contracts are required when you plan to download the specific patch pointed by the CPU document, and it depends not only on the Oracle release, but also on the particular OS platform.

  • Oracle CPU patch for 10.20.4

    Hello,
    Here is my DB version.
    Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
    PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
    CORE 10.2.0.4.0 Production
    TNS for Solaris: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
    NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
    I am using SUNOS SPARC 64 bit server. I am going to apply JAN 2010 CPU patch. In the README.html file, i see one step as below.
    If CPUOct2009 has not been applied, ensure that MLR (Merge Label Request) bugs 9054847 and 9054851 have been applied.
    My question is, how do i ensure that, MLR has been already applied? Any help is highly appreciated.

    If patches 9054847 and 9054851 have not been applied, you will need to apply them before proceeding to apply the CPU patch. Pl see the README files of the two patches for install instructions.

  • Oracle Critical Patch Update July 2009 for Oracle BEA Releases

    Hi All,
    Researching in metalink about CPU's for WLS 9.1 I found Oracle Support Note #835668.1. Table 9 of this document
    lists minimum product requirements for WebLogic server.
    According to this table WLS 9.1 should have a minimum version of 9.2MP3.
    I am confident that WLS 9.1 and WLS 9.2 are completely different WLS versions and there is no upgrade path from WLS 9.1 to WLS 9.2.
    Is this table misprinted or is it required to replace all WLS 9.1 installations with WLS 9.2 installations?
    What is this table trying to indicate?
    Please assist.
    It would be very helpful.
    Thanks.

  • Regarding Oracle CPU patch release Jan2010 about oracle 10.2.0.2

    http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/critical-patch-updates/cpu
    According to the above link i haven't found patch for oracle db release 10.2.0.2 that means it is not released or not applicable for this version.
    Regards

    Hi,
    It is not applicable to this version. You will have to upgrade to 10.2.0.4. Have a look at metalink ID 967472.1 -Critical Patch Update January 2010 Patch Availability Document for Oracle Products

  • FTPing .zip CPU patch files...

    Hi
    I have downloaded a .zip file for Oracle CPU Patch and wants to move it to UINX server. After connecting the UNIX server, beofre I say "put <filename>"...do I have to say "binary"?
    Your answer will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards
    Ahmed.

    Hello,
    Besides the previous answer, generally (if you click on the patch detail) you have the size of the zip file in bytes.
    For instance:
    Size 1.1G (1123325074 bytes) So, once you have sent the zip file on the Unix server, you can check if it's size is correct.
    Hope this help.
    Best regards,

  • SAP Bundle Patches VS Orclaes CPU Patches

    Fellow admins
    Sorry I am new to these Oracle CPU patches what is the difference between SAP Bundle and Oracle Patches besides Oracle CPU's are for Native ORacle systems and the Bundle patches have fixes related to SAP's interaction with Oracle? Is there any other things I should be concerned with?
    Thanks
    Mike

    Hello Mike,
    An SBP contains the following:
        o  The current Patch Set Update (PSU).
        o  SAP-specific single patches and merge patches that are required but not contained in the PSU.
        o  Generic patches that are not contained in the PSU.
        o  The current SAP-specific optimizer merge patch.
        o  README.html: Installation description for the SBP.
        o  bugs_fixed.html: List of patches included.
    SBPs are cumulative; that is, the next SBP contains all patches of its predecessor plus the newly-added patches.
    You can find further information on note [1137346|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1137346].

  • Oracle10g CPU patch

    Hello, I need some more explanation about oracle cpu patch.
    here is the DB i am using...
    Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
    PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
    CORE 10.2.0.4.0 Production
    TNS for Solaris: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
    NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
    It seems like, they are applying oracle cpu patch for this DB. What is CPU patch? What is the purpose the CPU patch? I googled and not very clear. Any help is highly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Just FYI.. Oracle releases CPU patches every quarter and recommends to apply these patches ASAP. And CPU patches are always cumulative. So Qtr 4 patch will contain all cpu patches related before for the version.

  • CPU patch for windows

    Hi ,
    Is the oracle CPU patchs released separately for windows platform (like how they release it for UNIX flavours ).... or is it only Bundle patches for windows . I did some metalink search and google search and my understaing is there is no CPU patches for windows ... we may need to use only Bundle patches for windows platfrom . If so , does Bundle patch include CPU patches ?

    Hi;
    You need to check below link and you need to find patch number from notes and you need to check patch from metalink. If the patch is not avaliable for Windows platform than you need to rise SR and get patch from support

  • Basic Steps for applying CPU Patch

    Hello,
    I'm asking for someone to please post a basic step-by-step procedure for appling an oracle cpu patch. Nothing too detailed, but something I can use as an outline.
    Thank you

    If you look in the readme.txt it will have all the steps needed and what to do if it is rac or not; but very high level:
    - shutdown the database
    - cd into the patch directory
    - issue $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch napply -skip_subset -skip_duplicate -local
    - Startup
    - run from sqlplus: catbundle.sql cpu apply
    - run utlrp.sql
    checking logs along the way
