Oracle patch upgradation

Hi all,
                 Our SAP version is 4.7E and Oracle 9.2.0.7.I have recieved one message that Oracle only give support for 9.2.0.7 up to july 31 2007.They have suggested apply the latest patches.But oracle is giving free support for version 9.2.0.7 up to july 31 2008.
1.If we will not apply oracle patches  how will it effect the system?
2. We will need to apply those latest patch only before july 31 2007?
Please help on this.
Regards,
nani Prakash.

The extended support is for version 9.2 (not only 9.2.0.7) for free until 31st of july 2008. The reason why you should go to 9.2.0.8 is because of the fact, that new patches are only developed/released for 9.2.0.8 and no more for 9.2.0.7. So in case you need an urgent correction for a problem in the future you would need to upgrade to 9.2.0.8 first before you can apply that patch.
Check Note 1021844 - Oracle 9.2 Extended Support free until July 31, 2008

  • 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.

    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.

  • Oracle patch upgrade after downgrade

    We patched Oracle from 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.3 successfully. Third party app had issue and blamed it on the patch, so I downgraded back to 11.2.0.2 successfully.
    Turns out the problem was not with Oracle, and I want to get back to 11.2.0.3.
    For the downgrade, I did (just listing the major steps)
    startup downgrade
    drop sysman
    @catdwgrd
    Point ORACLE_HOME / oratab / oraInst to the old, renamed ORACLE_HOME (11.2.0.2)
    attachHome
    apply patch 11811073 (new catrelod.sql)
    Startup upgrade
    @catrelod
    bounce DB and @utlrep, and everything looks peachy on 11.2.0.2.
    My question now is - what is the most painless way to get back to 11.2.0.3 ?
    Can I just re-point to the new ORACLE_HOME and run a catupgrd / catrelod out of the 11.2.0.3 dirs ?
    Edited by: allgoodnamesaretaken on 31-Jul-2012 13:57

    Hi;
    Just wonder, Dont you get any information your 3th party tool certified or not certified wiht that version? Secondly You already mention you made upgrade wihtout any issue so why you are looking different path:) Journey? :)

  • Oracle  10.2.0.4 patch upgrade

    Hi,
    We  have recently upgraded  oralce 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.4   we downloaed the Oracle patches as per snote # 871735 for SUN aparc 64 bit  .
    We have used OUI and done the upgrade as per the instaructions in the readme file of the patch.
    I have observed in Snote #1137346 that after  upgrading to 10.2.0.4 apply the pacthes as per snotes #1137346.
    Environment:
    R/3 4.6c and BW 7.0
      OS : Sun sparc 5.9 64 bit
      DB : Oracle 10.2.0.4
    Please suggest  does applying the oracle patches as per snote # 871735 is enough  or we have to go as per#1137346 also....
    Thanks,
    Subhash.G

    Yes - you also have to apply all the interim patches too. You updated your database only to 10.2.0.4; this version has also bugs which are fixed byy applying all the patches of note 1137346.

    I just came across a similar case: 1 (just one) of our (RAC-) databases has 130-something underscore-parameters set to non-default values.
    version is still 11.1.0.7 (e.g. not 11gR2).
    All of those hidden parameters seem to be CBO related (list on request).
    Weird is: Only one of our (very similar, supposedly same-config) databases have these hidden parameters set.
    Colleagues justly wonder: Who, When, What has caused these parameters to be expliclty set for this one system?
    Note: we do not have the complete history of this system documented (systems have been managed by 3 different parties already).
    It is quite possible they came in with some patch or upgrade (catupgr?) somewhere between 11.1.0.1 and 11.1.0.7, but a confirmation would be nice.
    Information welcome.

  • 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).
    Regards,

  • 10.2.0.2 Patch Upgrade issue

    hi,
    SAP was installed on 10.2.0.1 (SuSe Linux Ent 10 ) . now i am applying patch upgrade to 10.2.0.2. when  i am  doing patch the below problem was occured,
    "Unable to create new central inventory at location /oracle/orainventory. A non empty inventory already exists at this location. Please select another location or clean the inventory at /oracle/orainventory."
    please help me on this issue
    Regards
    Ramesh

    Hai,
    Please check the oraInst.loc file has the correct entry or not.
    File oraInst.loc should have the entries similar to the below:
    inventory_loc=/oracle/SID/oraInventory
    inst_group=dba
    Check the permissions of this file as well, atleast the file should have read access to others.
    Also check the permissions of /oracle/SID/oraInventory, it should be owned by ora<sid> user and group dba.
    Regards,

  • 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!
    Edited by: user6368351 on 08.10.2009 14:20

    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.
