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

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,
PetraK

Thanks 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 9i updates / patches

Hi - our company has been developing our Client/Server application for Oracle (and SQL and Informix...) for years now. The last version of Oracle Database we developed for was 9i. The only problem is that apparently we do not have any of support agreement with Oracle and no longer can get patches for the software.
Is there any specific place that a development shop can get the critical Oracle 9i patches for without purchasing a whole end user copy of it? I couldn't find any way to get into MetaLink without spending $$.
I'm not looking to do anything illegal - just looking to see if there are any resources for developers to use to get these patches / updates.
Thanks in advance for info.

I don't believe you're going to be able to get Metalink access without paying some sort of fees, no.
As a development shop, you may (and I stress may here, I have not spent any time investigating the legalities here, nor do I speak for Oracle, nor am I a lawyer, sprinkle in disclaimers that should Oracle audit you, relying on advice from some guy on the internet is going to hold less than no weight, consult your own licensing experts/ lawyers/ tea leaves) be able to become an Oracle partner, which is something like a $1500 investment at the low end, which does get you Metalink account and the technical ability to download patches. Whether that is sufficiently from a legal standpoint, or what Oracle licenses you need in order to do your development in a fully licensed sort of fashion, however, is something you would have to investigate.

A slight off-subject question, do I need to run anything on OVM (apart from setting on all servers the same password)?

How to install "Oracle Universal Content Management 10g Patch Update Bundle

I have downloaded and installed Oracle Content Server 10g r3 , and i did a simple cycle for a work-flow , and after that i downloaded "Oracle Universal Content Management 10g Patch Update Bundle", but when i opened the file i found that it contains many folder and some without a setup files , so how can i install the patch update bundle file ?
Thanks

Although what Srinath is true and correct, it is advised that you always install all the enabled components. The only situations where this is not the case is where:
1. You have a newer component than is in the bundle (i.e. you recently had a patch for that component which is newer than the bundle).
2. You have customised the component in question for your own use - in which case a newer version would overwrite your customisations.
Otherwise, you should install all the enabled components if possible.

How to set notification for latest patch updates from Oracle?

Is there a link to receive notification from Oracle about the latest patch updates on OBIEE or BI Apps?

Hi Tugdual,
Thanks for your great information. With your information i was resolve my one problem.
But however i have one more problem my application uses jni dll file called webcomponentjni.dll.
In 10.1.2 there was a option in OC4J Containers property
OC4J Container -> Administraton -> Server Property Page -> Environment Variables when i add path to the location of my webcomponentjni.dll it used to work fine.
But in 10.1.3 i don't have that option so i have added in opmn.xml file as follows
-Djava.library.path=<location> but it is not working.
When i try to browse the application it is giving the following error
Message:WCA startup failed with the following message: no webcomponentjni in java.library.path
Have you encountered such problems so far.

Oracle database 9.2.0.4 Critical Patch Update

Hi,
is oracle database 9.2.0.4 running on Windows still supported for critical patch updates? I went through the supported list in Critical Patch Update October 2006 but there was no reference to Oracle database 9.2.0.4. Oracle Premier Support for Oracle Database 9.2 expires in July 2007 - shouldn't this be included?
Thanks

So why aren't versions 9.2.0.1/2/3/4 included in the
Critical Patch Update?9.2.0.5 is not listed either, neither were they listed in the July 2006 CPU.
My guess is that the versions no longer fall under one of the items I listed earlier. You can file an SR with Oracle to get the exact reason.

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.

with patch there is read me file which tell you how to apply the patch on the database.
Thanks

Taj

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?
