Oracle patch in general

I have the following questions to with regards to oracle patch
1. I learnt from my senior DBA saying that applying patch may bring another bug? is this true? Can you share your experience, if any?
2. Is this good idea to apply all the patches for a specific version(let's say oracle 11g r1) without consulting Oracle support
as a best practice?
3. Whether the patch script will vary for ASM and non-ASM instance? or would be the same?
4. How the Oracle bug id differs from patch set? In some cases, the patchset is same as bug id? is there any way to distinguish these two terms?
5. Is there any way to identify the list of patches and bugs fixed by quering the oracle database dictionary?
6. Is this good idea to apply bunch of patchsets in one-go rather than one by one. I mean apply one patch and waiting for 1-2 weeks and if we don't face any issues apply the second patch and so on.
7. Do we need to apply the patch instance by instance (clustered db) or just database?
It would be great if you someone clears my bugging queries on oracle patch.
Thanks so much for knowledge sharing.

Thanks sharma for your response.
Q1: So don't fix it if ain't broke?. -we may not notice the issue at the initial stage. If we hit the bug after applying series of patches, how will come to know which patch has created this bug? and how to revert?
Ask Oracle. and you should be testing the patch in your test environment first.
Q2: Does it mean we can apply all the up-to-date patches without consulting oracle support?
That's oracle recommendation always to be on latest patch so YES
Q4 : I have seen some cases, the patchset is same as the bug id. That's why I am trying to understand the differences between these two
If this is one-off patch or like patch consist the fix of only that bug-id , you will normally see patch number same as bug number.
q5: I read somewhere we can query the details dba_hist_repository ( something like that). Not sure whether this dictionary will provide all the patches/bugs fixed
I misread your question before. Yes the table name is registry$history
q6 : Here I am talking about only patchsets. Can we apply two patchsets at the same time? If yes, if there are any bug, how are we going to identify which patch set has caused this bug??
Patch sets are commutative. So if you apply latest patch set it will include all previous patches. You can apply multiple single patches.
q7: My question was patchset has to applied instance by instance(let's assume 2 node cluster) or just at the database level? may be novice question for you.
You have apply the patch on all the binaries where instances are running.
Thanks for your time sharma. Please comment

What are the steps to apply Oracle Patch?

What are the steps to apply Oracle Patch?

Hi,
apply patch != apply patchset
Generally, patch is apply with opatch tool (from 9i), and there is an exe for patchset.
But, as it already said, the reading of readme is always a good idea...

Tuxedo 8.0 and Oracle patch 9.2.0.8

Hi,
We have installed Oracle patch 9.2.0.8 into UNIX machine. We are using Tuxedo for middleware that using an API Application through Tuxedo to provision onto Oracle database.
Since Oracle patch 9.2.0.8 installed, Tuxedo produced core file.
It has been mentioned by Oracle Metalink Doc ID 455832.1 that potentially because both server and client have to be in synch version. The Oracle patch has been installed on UNIX server for both
My question is that:
- Is there any Oracle client on Tuxedo (8.0) patch that need to be installed ?
- Or should we upgrade Tuxedo to later version, if yes which version that in synch with Oracle patch 9.2.0.8 ?
At the moment no workarround is applied.
Thank in advance for any info and help.

Hi Todd,
Thank you for your usefull answer. I will take this point with our application's vendor.
Do you know if we would like to upgrade to a higher version or best to the latest 10gR3, is there any contact Support that we can contact to get software kit (weblink for download etc.). I am not sure the license contract agreement of our company, in parallel I would like to know the procedure from your side (Oracle Tuxedo).

Hi ,
You can execute few commands from SAP level, suppose for example if you don't have access to Operating system.But it will be executed under sidadm user.Opatch utility will executed under orasid user ( concerns if you have Unix flavour ) .
I have used this and it gives the result.

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.

But I get message "Download basket request for update has been processed. Unable to add 1 new object(s). The objects are already part of Export and to be processed."
Help me, please!

Hi,
Have you looked at this location https://service.sap.com/oracle-download ?
Refer SAP Note 871735 - Current patch set for Oracle 10.2.0 -> Oracle patch set 10.2.0.5
Once you add the Patchset 10.2.0.5 in download basket, you will find the same in Export tab of Download Basket. You will have to get the approval from SAP Export department by raising OSS message with XX-SER-SWFL-EXPORT component. After getting approval for the same from SAP Export dept., then & then only you will able to download it.

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 $*

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
Monitor wird überprüft: muss so konfiguriert sein, dass mindestens 256 Farben angezeigt werden. Tatsächlich 16777216 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.

Oracle Patch Base and Parameter Maintenace for BO installations

SAP publishes a set of recommended Oracle Patches and Parameter settings for Oracle Database operation on all OLAP and OLTP systems. Do the bug patches and database parameter values recommended apply to Business Objects installations that leverage Oracle or are there different requirements for BO application installations which are configured to use an Oracle database? If so, where can I find the following information?
Alan

I would suggest to look the Support platforms documentation of your BOBJ version.
You can find this here http://service.sap.com/bosap-support
