Oracle Critical Patch (Quarterly)
Hi Guys,
Based on the URL:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/alerts-086861.html
Critical Patch Updates are the primary means of releasing security fixes for Oracle products to customers with valid support contracts. They are released on the Tuesday closest to the 17th day of January, April, July and October. The next four dates are:
17 July 2012
16 October 2012
15 January 2013
16 April 2013
Question: Does it means that moving foward, the released dates for critical patch will be on the Tuesday closest to the 17th day of January, April, July and October even for 2014 and 1025 unless further notice from Oracle?
Am coming out with a patching document so thinking if the dates are actually fixed now.
thanks

Hi Guys,
Do u guys patch is regularly every quarterly? Seems that by patching it this regularly, will require quite alot of downtime and resource efforts to do it.
Any good practise to access if the patch is of high risk or low risk and if really necessary?
thanksOn my Production DB Servers, neither OS nor Oracle gets patched after QA has blessed any specific application version for a given system configuration.
Any patch will only get applied to fix a known & impacting bug.

Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory - January 2013
Hi all,
11.2.0.3
Oracle Critical Patch Update - January 2013
I am confused about CPU, PSU, SPU, USP. I am reading the docs and it seems they are same thing being rambled?
Which of them is the most important to apply?
Thanks,
PetraKThanks gotti and fahd
I already ask the support and he gave me docs to follow. But the more I am confused with lots of added process.
Can you validate if the process is correct? My Goal is just to comply with our IT Sec Auditor to apply the latest patch. The auditor does not even know what is the name of the patch as long as it the current updates. So I think he is referring to PSU or SPU or CPU.
This is the process I got from support:
1 Appy Oracle Database Patch Set Update (11.2.0.3.8)
1.1 Download and install latest RDA and run and send the output.
1.2 Download and install latest OPatch and list the current inventory.
1.3 Check java version
1.4 Check and Resolve PSU conflict
1.5 Backup the current OracleHome as "root"
1.6 Stop Listener, EM, and all DB Instances
1.7 Apply PSU
1.8 Resolve errors if any.
End.
So It seems I only need to apply PSU? which is 11.2.0.3.8? -
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.Oracle Critical Patch Update fix a list of bugs , oracle will release CPU in every three months interval.
you need to click the link which oracle has sent.
then choose your database version===then select the patch number===then on metalink download the patch
with patch there is read me file which tell you how to apply the patch on the database.
Thanks

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.

Where do we find the patch for Express user downloads? The Oracle Critical Patch Update site requires a valid support license.
XE is not patch-able - there is no support available.

Oracle Critical Patch Update April 2008
Yesterday I have got email from oracle regarding CPU patch availablity of 2008. Just curious where we can get the exact details for that patch...? which bugs is fixed ? What's the correct number for any OS ? Is there any metrics available for that ? I have not get enough information on Metalink.
Please, please, please, please, follow the links provided in the mail for your product!! (http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/critical-patch-updates/cpuapr2008.html)
You would have hit note 552248.1 on Metalink.
Did you read it?
Within 2 seconds I can see various matrices of patch numbers.
As the CPU is provided by Metalink, why don't you submit a SR with your concerns?

I need to apply this Critical Patch in my databases but I have a doubt about if the component that I find out in the documentation is the component where the fix has to be applied or doesn't matter and I have to apply this fix on all my installations.

Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory - January 2011
Hello
I would like to install the critical update patch January 2011 located at
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/cpujan2011-194091.html#PIN
However, I found that the links that I required and mostly (Oracle Database 10g Release 2, versions 10.2.0.3, 10.2.0.4, 10.2.0.5)
are dead (503 Service Unavailable)
Where can I download the patch??
Thanks
NeonThe links on the page lead to
https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=1263374.1
which is a Oracle support site and you need your metalink login credentials to be able to access this.
I have successfully navigated to the Oracle support site with my CSI and am able to initiate the download. -
Critical: Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory - April 2015
Hi,
I have 11.2.0.3 RDBMS for one of my client. not using OJVM. In this case should i be worried to apply this CPU?
Any view point will be great help to me in understanding. Thanks in advance.
Some of the fixes are listed here under this patch set:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/cpuapr2015-2365600.html#AppendixDB

BhullarHi,
you cannot apply the CPU and the PSU, the PSU has additional important fixes in addition to the same security related fixes inside the CPU patch,
this means you will have to choose between i and ii (recommended: ii) and the others can be applied together.
greetings,

It would be nice if these issues could be resolved.
MartinCan you also tell me that from which version only
RMAN will be supported for backup? Not really. You can use your choice of backup methodologies, you are not tied to use RMAN for backups for any versions. As such, if you are using ASM, then yes, you can only use RMAN to backup.
better to Oracle10g.Can I ask why it is better to upgrade to Oracle 10g
and not 9.2.0.8?Because, starting with July, 2007 Oracle9i 9.2.0.8 goes into extended support. Extended support usually costs, but this time around, Oracle is extending free extended support for one year.
Hope this explains.
Thanks
