Oracle Patch error

Hi All,
I am applying oracle patch 10.2.0.3 on 10.2.0.1 on SUSE 9. However it prompts to select the "Inventory Directory" and I choose /u01/app/oracle/OraInventory which is already populated on the screen.
When I click on next it prompts with an error that " the directory is not empy and I need to choose a diff directory " . I mention a diff dir and click on next it prompts to enter oracle home which is already populated there. However when I clisk on next it again throws an error " not to proceeed" and chose a diff dir.
Please Help.

I unzipped the file and then there was a folder created "Disk1" , there is a runInstaller in the Disk1 folder which I run.

Hello Gina,
it seems like you have not installed all the needed RPM packages - to be absolutely sure we would need the installActions log file itself.
Check metalinknote #317627.1 for further information about the RPMs.

Oracle field length error after Oracle patch update

Dear All,
We have an ABAP program wherein we are inserting records in an external (non-SAP) Oracle DB
by means of native SQL. On 22/08/2010, we had updated an Oracle patch in the production server.
After the patch was updated, the program has started throwing error:
An SQL error has occurred: ORA-12899: value too
large for column
"CELLAPPS"."AWLTBLMESSAGES"."MESSAGETEXT" (actual:
438, maximum: 350)#ORA-06512: at line 1
The message text variable has only 219 characters. After some observations, i found that all the data is
converted into exactly double the length after this oracle patch update.
Please help.
Thanks.

Hello,
Which is your NLS for your SAP and the external databases?
SELECT VALUE FROM V$NLS_PARAMETERS WHERE PARAMETER = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET';
What is your DBCO Conn. Info field?
What is the result if you set the remote connection in DBCO as per SAP note [808505|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/808505]?

Startsap error code 12 after oracle patch updation frm10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.4

After applying oracle patch 10.2.0.4 on SUN 10 platform, startsap gives a error code 12. I am able to start the database but the startsap does not work. This is happening for all our systems for which we upgraded the oracle patch. R3trans -d also gives the same error. Trans.log says invalid user/password but we have not changed any password of any oracle user. In fact we are able to login to sqlplus using system and our old password. Any pointers would be higly appreciated.
Regards
Gokul

SAPUSER table was missing and OPS$SIDADM user was also missing. Now I am able to do sqlplus /@QGR but the problem persists . R3trans -d out is

Upgrading Oracle Patch Set

Hello All,
I am in the process of upgrading the Oracle Patch set from 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.8.
Can anyone let me know what are the Pre and post installation steps that needs to taken care of.
Thanks

As Anurag has already mentioned that with every patch set there is a readme file which contains all pre and post installation steps in detail. Please read each word of it and you done if you follow as it is. In case you found any error/issue you can paste the steps which you have done; so that we can found where was the error / mis-steped.

System Core Dumped after Oracle patch upgrade 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.8

Hi,
We are continously getting dumps on our BW Central instance server after we did an Oracle patch upgrade from 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.8.
Following is our system environment
SAP Release.............. "640"
Application server....... "abci"
Operating system......... "SunOS"
Release.................. "5.10"
Hardware type............ "sun4v"
Database server.......... "abdb"
Database type............ "ORACLE"
Database name............ "ABP"
Database owner........... "SAPABP"
SAP kernel............... "640"
Database version......... "OCI_920 "
Patch level.............. "175"
Following below is the Core Dump that is generated for any process chains that we schedule on our BW server
Runtime Errors         SYSTEM_CORE_DUMPED
Date and Time          14.04.2008 09:26:17
ShrtText
     Process terminated by signal 11.
What happened?
    The current ABAP program had to be terminated because the
    ABAP processor detected an internal system error.
    The current ABAP program "SAPMSSY2" had to be terminated because the ABAP
    processor discovered an invalid system state.
What can you do?
    Make a note of the actions and input which caused the error.
    To resolve the problem, contact your SAP system administrator.
    You can use transaction ST22 (ABAP Dump Analysis) to view and administer
    termination messages, especially those beyond their normal deletion
    date.
Error analysis
    An SAP System process was terminated by an operating system signal.
    Possible reasons for this are:
    1. Internal SAP System error.
    2. Process was terminated externally (by the system administrator).
               Last error logged in SAP kernel
    Component............ "Taskhandler"
    Place................ "SAP-Server awci_ABP_00 on host awci (wp 5)"
    Version.............. 1
    Error code........... 11
    Error text........... "ThSigHandler: signal"
    Description.......... " "
    System call.......... " "
    Module............... "thxxhead.c"
    Line................. 9780
How to correct the error
    The SAP System work directory (e.g. /usr/sap/c11/D00/work ) often
    contains a file called 'core'.
    Save this file under another name.
    If you cannot solve the problem yourself and you wish to send
    an error message to SAP, include the following documents:
    1. A printout of the problem description (short dump)
       To obtain this, select in the current display "System->List->
       Save->Local File (unconverted)".
    2. A suitable printout of the system log
       To obtain this, call the system log through transaction SM21.
       Limit the time interval to 10 minutes before and 5 minutes
       after the short dump. In the display, then select the function
       "System->List->Save->Local File (unconverted)".
    3. If the programs are your own programs or modified SAP programs,
       supply the source code.
       To do this, select the Editor function "Further Utilities->
       Upload/Download->Download".
    4. Details regarding the conditions under which the error occurred
       or which actions and input led to the error.
Kindly help.
Regards
Sachin

No. If the environment would be wrong the system wouldn´t start up.
Core dumps are in 99 % of the cases program errors (in the SAP kernel or in an interface (libdbora*)), misaligend accesses of data etc.
If you encounter such an error have a look in the C-Stack. If you can´t see where the error is happening opening an OSS call. Most of those errors are fixed by installing the latest patches for the kernel and the database interface.

Hi,
Search AutoConfig for afcpctx.sh, you should find more details about the error around the filename.
For the patch error, please search the workers log files for details about the error -- Log files can be found under $APPL_TOP/admin/<SID>/log directory (search for adwork*.log).

Oracle Patch 11.1.0.6 -- 11.1.0.7 installer problems on linux

Hello,
i will do an upgrade and i downloaded patch file "p6890831_111070_Linux-x86". So i extractet the folder and call ./runInstaller.
But if i do this i get an error message: "./runInstaller: line 197: /home/oracle/patch: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden" That means in english "File or Folder not found".
On line 197 i've found: $CMDDIR/install/.oui $*
What is the problem? What do i wrong?
I use RHEL 5!

Hello,
i have done an upgrade from 10.2.0.4 to 11.1.0.6. There was no problem and 11.1.0.6 works right now. But i can't run the installer for the 11.1.0.7 patchset.
EDIT:
If i run the installer with root, so i get the typical message:
Oracle Universal Installer wird gestartet...
Temporärer Speicherplatz wird überprüft: muss größer sein als 80 MB. Tatsächlich 202209 MB Erfolgreich
Swap-Speicher wird überprüft: muss größer sein als 150 MB. Tatsächlich 5887 MB Erfolgreich

Vorbereitung für das Starten von Oracle Universal Installer aus /tmp/OraInstall2009-10-12_12-03-07PM. Bitte haben Sie einen Moment Geduld...
Der Benutzer ist root. Oracle Universal Installer kann bei einem Root-Benutzer nicht mit der Installation fortfahren.
This means, i have to run the installer with an oracle user.
But ich I will run it with oracle rights, the installer will not run.

Igor,
Since you've encountered undocumented errors, your repository upgrade has failed. You'll want to leave the repository as is for troublshooting, if at all possible, and log a TAR with support if you haven't already. They'll ask you to upload your upgrade log file and your upgrade tmp directory.
Regards
