Patch Guide for EP6

Hi,
I have just migrated from EP5 to EP6 version 6.0.2.4.1
Portal_Service_Pack_2.
I have downloaded patch 33 for (Portal,Sapinst,J2EE)
Where can I find documentation relating to the patch
sequence and can I go directly to this patch level.
Kind regards,
Morgan ([email protected])

Hi Morgan,
it is very important to read the notes released with the new patches for references to the installation process. For the portal patch check the note 806271 and the notes mentioned there.
As stated in the note above you'll need at least Portal Patch 4 and CM & Collaboration patch 5 to upgrade to the latest patch level, which actually now is Patch 34!!!
So for installing the latest portal patch check SAP Note 858873 and for the latest CM & Coll Patch check SAP Note 855491.
Also, this threads might be usefull to check if you have understand the process mentioned in the SAP Notes:
CMCOLL patch4 ....... (UPGRADE EP TO THE LATEST PATCH)
ep6SP2 portal patch 29 installation : shud i stop IRJ application?
Hope this helps,
Robert

  • Manual for Installing Patch 27 for EP6.0 SP2

    Is there anyone found the installation manual for EP6.0 SP2 Patch 27 according to Note 774779?
    It seems that SAP didn't publish the patches and the installation manual at the same time.
    Message was edited by: li dong

    Hi Aviad,
    it is not at least not for "public" non-SAP...
    Does somebody care?
    Strange enough, there doesn't seem to be a controlled process of publishing patches / notes / doc at the same time (happens quite often).

  • Current Patch Set for Oracle Database Release 11.2

    Hi
    I am upgrading oracle 10G to 11GR2 in AIX 5.3 Environment with SAP ECC6 , I have just just installled Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 according to the "Database Upgrade Guide -Upgrade to Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2): UNIX". After database software installation , in upgrade manual in section 3.4.4 it says, you need to install current patch set for oracle database 11g R2 and referencing a SAP note 1431799.
    I have just read note 1431799 which says Current Patch Set for Oracle Database Release 11.2 is not generally available for SAP customers until December 2010, also I donu2019t find the note 1522330 as mentioned in 1431799.
    Please let me know how I can get current patch set to apply with Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 (Is it in SAP service market place?)
    I also want to upgrade my installation to oracle 11.2.0.2, please let me know where I get the patch set to upgrade from 11.2.0.1.0 to 11.2.0.2,
    or
    I have to live with 11.2.0.1.0 and apply SAP Bundle Patch ( SBP)

    Abu Al MAmun,
    I understand from your posts that you recently upgraded to 11.2.0.2.
    I am having the same difficulty, of finding the current patch set for 11.2. Could you please let me know how you worked around it?
    Thanks,
    Siri
    Hello Everyone,
    I did read the post on to how you have to install the current patch set for 11.2.
    But honestly, it pretty much flew over my head.
    I am trying to upgrade our SAP AIX 64 bit test system from Oracle 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.2.
    And so far I have downloaded all the required sw for the upgrade, except for the current patch set 11.2.
    This is what I have right now:
    1) Oracle 11.2 AIX 64 bit upgrade sw - 51038805_part 1 to 51038805_part 7 and 51039800.
    2) Database Patches -->Oracle 11.2.0.2 -->
    All they have here is
    a. Database RDMBS - SAP_112020_201012_AIX.zip and b. SAP_112020_201101_AIX.zip
    b. OPatch - OPatch_11201_Generic_v3.zip and mopatch-2_1_6.zip
    c. Database Vault - DV - >Generic - p9656644_112020_Generic.zip
    If I am not wrong, the Database RDBMS files are nothing but the SAP Bundle Patches that have to be installed after installing the currrent patch set 11.2.0.2 using MOPatch.
    But I did not find the currrent patch set 11.2.0.2.
    Could someone please explain the process to me in detail? This being my first time , I am finding it a bit hard to catch up with some of the stuff.
    Thank You!

  • Solaris 10 SPARC Recommended Patch Cluster for  2008 quarter 3 version

    Dear All,
    Could any one please guide me, where I can download "Solaris 10 SPARC Recommended Patch Cluster" for 2008 quarter 3 version.
    I have checked in sunsolve.sun.com, I'm able to find only the latest release.
    please guide me.
    Thanks and regards,

    Ok,
    Here's a cute little formula to try using your systems parameters to gain some "head's-up" on an expected or estimated time to complete the patch run.
    You will need a few things to prepare.
    Number of "real" CPU's (not hyperthreads)
    Speed of each CPU as a whole number i.e 2.87Ghz = 2,867
    the total number of patches from the cluster i.e. Sept 15th = 381 (Solaris 10)
    Network factor if using NFS = 2.5
    local cluster file factor = 1.5
    Patch cluster on CDROM factor = 3.25
    Now, combine all of those elements in this equation:
    { ( #1 * #2 ) / #3 * factor(#4 or #5 or #6) }
    This will yield a number in minutes of patch run time. Then all you will need to add is the standard boot up time to get the total of all patching and reboot.
    Of course you could write a script to extract all of this information and feed it to "bc -l" to get a quick figure.
    Example, on one of my Solaris 10 boxes with the information filled in to the equation:
    #> echo "((4*2660)/381)*1.5"|bc -l
    #> 41.88976377952755905511
    It actually took 44.2 minutes to complete the patching of this box plus another 12 minutes to reboot. But all in all a pretty fair estimate I think.

  • Patch Policy for EBS

    Does anyone have a comprehensive list of all technology that requires security patching in the oracle EBS and supporting infrastructure?
    I'd prefer comments as opposed to endless links. And possibly if you could provide a split of what Oracle will patch in the technology stack, and what it doesnt, i.e. what requires 3rd party patching?
    I am pretty sure our web servers run apache, does oracle EBS only run on certain supported versions of web services?

  • Database patch 5 for CM

    Hi all,
    After succesfully installing EP SP2 with patch 29 and CM patch 4 too after that, I wanted to upgrade CM to the last patch too.
    I first deployed patch 5 for CM, succesful operation, but after that the documentation guide showed to apply the patch 5 for database (included in this CM patch)
    During the patching of oracle instance I had the following error:
    DROP INDEX "IX_CMCC_TABLE1"
    ORA-01418: specified index does not exist
    followed by exception.
    I have a look on oracle errors, but dont know how to solve it.
    Can someone help me solving this, because I havent done a backup to my database, but only to the instance used.
    When I logon in the portal after that in the KM Content it gives an exception saying is waiting for a patch.
    Best regards,
    Raluca.

    Hi,
    I am having the same problem.

  • Is there a step by step guide for getting splash on arch?

    hi,
    i looked every where for a step by step guide for getting splash on bootup working on arch.
    i know if you use archlinux you're suppose to figure out things for youreself, which i handle pritty well i think, but kernel stuff, i am not sure for now, and i dont have time (exams) to break my system so if anyone could point me to a step by step guide, i will thank him.

    AFAIK there isn't a way. I tried to get fbsplash working recently without much success.
    There were a few rather complicated methods, and I thought the easiest way was to use an initrd image. Obviously, the default kernel already uses one so I recompiled a kernel to have support for an initrd image, but not need to use one. Then I used splashutils to create an initrd image with the splash image contained and booted the kernel using this as an image. Kernel booted, but no splash. I then gave up. I also had to patch the splashutils scripts as they were broken in places. Right at the moment, I don't crave a splash image enough to warrant more hacking.
    fbsplash is meant to work without the fbcondecor kernel patch, so I didn't try using it. This may be a path you want to try out.
