Patch 6880880 (Upgrade Opatch Utility)

Hi Guys,
I need to apply Patch 6880880. From what I understand from the documentation and some posts about this patch is that this patch is nothing but upgrading the version of hpatch/Opatch.
When I unzip folder p6880880_101000_MSWIN-x86-64.zip, it makes a folder called Opatch (according to earlier posts I need to overwrite the existing folder OPatch folder) in the Hyperion directory .
But I am afraid to do that because the new OPatch folder resulting from unzipping the p6880880_101000_MSWIN-x86-64.zip file doesnt contain hpatch.bat.
I need hpatch.bat because I further need to apply couple of more patches (9976978 and 11794962) to fix some HFM security issue. And the patch 6880880 is pre-requisite for patches 9976978 and 11794962.
Please suggest.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply John!
You mean just rename old Opatch folder to Opatch_old and unzip the new folder to D:\Hyperion?. Or make a copy of old Opatch folder in some other directory and then just simply unzip the new Opatch folder and overwrite the existing?.
Also, I hope by doing this any existing patch that has been applied in the past doest get effected?
Thanks

How to install opatch utility and upgrade the existing version of db

Hi how to install opatch utility to the existing 9.2.0.1 database and how to upgrade to 9.2.0.6 using opatch.
Thanks,

First terminology:
patch - fix for some bug
patchset - collection of patches (many).
Opatch utility is only for applying patches not for patchests.
Btw specify OS for future.

Patch number for upgrading opatch from 10.2.0.1.0 to 10.2.0.1.1

Please can someone tell me what is the Patch number for upgrading opatch utility from 10.2.0.1.0 to 10.2.0.1.1?
Thanks in advance.

Sami,
Why don't you use the latest version of opatch (Patch 4898608 - OPatch 10.2.0.1.6)?

Patch 5391326 using opatch

Hi,
I'm applying patch 5391326 using opatch utility. I receive this error message :
OPatch detected non-cluster Oracle Home from the inventory and will patch the local system only.
Please shut down Oracle instances running out of this ORACLE_HOME
(Oracle Home = /sandbox/migration/oracle3/product/FMIS/9.2.0)
Is this system ready for updating?
Please respond Y|N >
Should I realy stop the other instances runing ? It is difficult since they are productions ?
Any solution ?
Many thanks before.

Just a side note, you should thoroughly read and follow the patch note while you do patching. Especially if there's production DB involved.
The README file come with the patch mentioned.
You should not only shutdown the instance but also other processes like listener and enterprise manager etc.
-- Before patching, completely shutdown all processes within the Oracle home. It is not recommended to restart the Oracle HTTP Server or the middle tier home until all associated database and Metadata Repository homes have been successfully patched and restarted. This is to accommodate any dependency requirements with any database objects in use.

Install Opatch Utility 6880880

I try to apply Oracle interim patch released on March 2009. But the document syas that I have to use Opatch utility 10.2.0.4.3 or later. The current version on my DB server is 10.2.0.4.2. So I have to install Opatch Utility patch 6880880. In the README document, it says: " to install this patch, simply extract the file directly under the ORACLE_HOME". In my understanding, this Opatch utility is a java based program. As long as I extract zipped file under Oracle_Home, it will be ready to execute for Opatch usage. Am I right? Please confirm my thought and give me your advice. Thanks.

Do exactly as the document indicates and it should work correctly.

How to Patch on Windows (same as OPatch utility)???

Hi All,
I am applying a JDBC patch in oracle (using OPatch utility) with OS Sun SPARC... But I got an issue while applying the patch and oracle says that OPatch 10.2.0.4.3 has an internal bug..
My questions is How I can apply the same patch (it's paltform independent) in Windows OS ??
Do we need to use OPatch option or what's the altrenate utility to apply patch in windows??
Thanks a lot...

I am sure you need following steps.....I have struggled my way once... not tough though...
happy patching :)))
1) set oracle_home= < oracle home>
2) set PATH=<oracle home>\Opatch;%PATH%
3) run "opatch lsinventory" to know that everything is set properly
4) go to patch directory where you have extracted patch and run "opatch apply"

11.2.0.3 Patch Bundle and opatch installation approach

Hi,
I have installed the below 11.2.0.3 (64 bit) products in my windows 2008 server
1. Oracle Grid Infrastructure for standalone server
2. Oracle database server software and created a standalone database with ASM in this home.
Now i need to apply Update 5 patch bundle and some bug fix patches.
Since there are 2 home in my server what is the right approach for applying the patch bundle and opatch ?
When i went through the patch bundle installation document i could see these 2 options
1. Patch Installation Instructions for Single Instance
2. Patch Installation Instructions for RAC
Since i have 2 homes (OraCrs11g_home1 & OracDb11g_home1 ) in my server i am not sure which patch installation option i should choose and proceed.
Can someone assist me ?
Thanks,
Ashok Kumar.G

no we have to prepare a test POC but we don't have Xterm so had to use silent mode.using VNC server is best option to install or upgrade databases/grid Infrastructure.
VNC server runs on the server and no fear of loosing network connection as in case of connecting thorugh putty.
also you can open GUI in VNC server without need of any xterm or xwindows .
So ask your SA to install VNC on your server and use it.

How to use Opatch Utility

I am new to Oracle Opatch Utility and can't seen to find the correct information on Metalink or OTN. My database system contains Oracle 11g, version 11.1.0, running on Red Hat Linux Enterprise Server4.1
My questions are as follows:
1. Do you run Opatch as the Oracle user? or as root?
2. Are there any other environment variables besides the $ORACLE_HOME, that need to be set for Opatch to run properly?
3. When I run the command ". opatch lsinventory -detail" as the oracle user, the output scrolls off the screen, and when the command terminates, it exits from the Oracle connection. Is this a normal Opatch behavior?
Thanks in advance for any input on this subject.
Eduardo B.

You can check metalink doc
OPATCH FAQ
Doc ID: 242993.1
which should answer many of your questions.
you should run opatch as oracle user not root.
usually there's patch note if you need to run opatch. you just follow what's patch not suggested.
No, opatch lsinventory shouldn't close out the oracle OS user connection after run.

I have an older Airport Extreme (disc shaped) that we use with my wife's PowerBook (OS 10.5.8) and my MacBook Pro (OS 10.9.4). We currently only have Airport Utility on her Mac, but I want to upgrade the utility so I can use it on mine.

I have an older Airport Extreme (disc shaped) that we use with my wife's PowerBook (OS 10.5.8) and my MacBook Pro (OS 10.9.4). We currently only have Airport Utility on her Mac, but I want to upgrade the utility so I can use it on mine. Which version of the utility will work on my MacBook, and still control the older Airport Extreme?

if I update the Airport to the latest version, and "control" it with my MacBook Pro, will the older G4 still be able to use the signal from the new Airport?
Yes. Your G4 shouldn't have any difficulty connecting to a Wi-Fi network provided by the latest 802.11ac AirPorts as they support the earlier radio modes that the G4 uses.

Xorg won't start after upgrading nvidia-utils

Today I did a pacman -Syu , it wanted to upgrade nvidia-utils, I said yes and it told me it would remove nvidia package as it conflict with, so I let it remove nvidia pakage.
Then Xorg didn't wanted to start. I reinstalled nvidia and received the following error:
Error: API mismatch: The NVIDIA kernel module has the version 1.0-8178, but this X module has the version 1.0-8762
Please make sure kernel module and all Nvidia components have the same version
Then I removed nvidia and nvidia-utils and reinstalled them, now I receive the following error when trying to start Xorg:
Fatal: could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.16.18-ARCH/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
Failed to load nvidia kernel module!
How do I fix this? I'm using my own compiled kernel version (2.6.16.18) and Xorg worked find before doing pacman -Syu and updating nvidia-utils.

If you use a custom kernel, you'll need to compile your own nvidia modules: http://www.archlinux.org/news.php#238

Patch for upgrading 10g AS from 10.1.2.0.2 to 10.1.2.1

Hi All,
I am in process of doing 10g AS integration with 11.5.10.2.
here as per documentation i have seen that this 10g AS has to upgrade
My 10g AS version is 10.1.2.0.2
The below msg is as per Oracle Documentation
If you are running Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.0) or Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.1) Standard Edition One, then apply the Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.1 patch before applying Oracle Application Server Portal Upgrade.
I have searched a lot in metalink for patch but no luck
So please let me know the right patch to upgrade my 10g AS from 10.1.2.0.2 to 10.1.2.1
Also any supporting document for this upgrade
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Bhanu Chander.

I have downloaded patch p5983622_10123_LINUX.zip
and first tried to upgrade infrastructure home
but while upgrading it says
oracle universal installer has detected that your database is version 10.1.0.4.2 before you can continue you must apply a required database patch set.
But in documentation i have seen
Supported Database Releases
The portal schema may be residing in an OracleAS Metadata Repository, or in a customer database. The database in which the portal schema resides must be one of the following supported releases:
Oracle Database 10g (10.1.0.4.2) or later
Please let me know what should i do now
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Bhanu Chander.yes, because the Infrastructure Database needs to be upgraded. And it is listed in the documentation of the same patch set.
In the Readme file for the patch set 3 (5983622 or p5983622_10123_LINUX) as you mentioned, please see Section 5. Before you begin applying this patch set
It reads the following:
"5.6 Applying the Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.5) Patch Set
The Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.5) patch set must be applied to all database instances (for both the Identity Management and Metadata Repository installation type and Metadata Repository only installation type) before applying OracleAS 10g Release 2 Patch Set 3. If OracleAS 10g Patch Set 2 (10.1.2.2.0) has been applied previously, then you do not have to apply the database patch."
hope that explains what you need to do. i.e, your infra DB version is 10.1.0.4.2 and needs to be upgraded to 10.1.0.5.

Patching and upgrading streams

We have streams set up between two sites. One site is primary and the second one would be secondary
or the standby system (without using DataGuard). When we go operational, which we haven't yet.
I am trying to determine how we would apply patches to the system. Again, if one is down for patches
the second site must be available. Can I have the two sites in different patches/upgrades ?
I would plan to do them with minimal down time. I've read where streams could push through the patch,
but have had people not recommend this as the outcome could be unpredictable.
Are there any systems out there using streams as their standby system ? How do you perform patch or
upgrade maintenance ?
Appreciate your comments.
Thank you.

Streams support different patch levels as long as you don't use a feature in the lower patchset that exists in the other one. So patch at you ease and don't look at streams. I would just avoid a dctionary build between the two patche session, even if I am confident it will cope with that. Just a conservatism reflex.
