Patch Set Updates and the version number

Oracle document 854428.1, Patch Set Updates (PSUs) for Oracle Products, has this to say about the version number:
2.3 Baseline Version for Easier Tracking
Oracle associates a version number to the patch. The fifth number of the database version is incremented for each PSU. For example, the initial PSU is version 11.1.0.7.1, the second PSU for Release 11.1.0.7 is 11.1.0.7.2, and so on.
My DBAs just told me that they applied PSU3 to our database, which had version number 11.2.0.2.0. I checked the version number after the PSU was applied, but it is still the same:
SQL> select version from v$instance;
VERSION
11.2.0.2.0
Do the PSUs change the fifth number in the version or not?

SQL> select comments from sys.registry$history where action_time > sysdate - 1
COMMENTS
PSU 11.2.0.2.3
Thankyou, that answers my question. The fifth number in the version column of the v$instance view does not seem to change when a PSU is applied. However, the sys.registry$history view has a record of the PSU with the correct fifth number in the version.

hello, java is not the same as javascript (the later runs in the browser without any plugins necessary).
in case websites don't get rendered correctly please refer to the following support article, which contains the most common solutions: [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]]
for connection problems see [[Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]].
from the system information you've submitted it appears that the java plugin by oracle is already present on your system (but not the latest version). if you're having problems downloading java update 7 from java.com you can also use the inbuilt updater for java, that is accessible in the windows control panel (see [http://www.java.com/en/download/help/java_update.xml]).

I have upgraded to 8.0 and the version number comes up correct except in most sites it says I'm running 3.5.6?? I have continually upgraded and don't know how to make websites see the upgrade.

Everytime there is an upgrade I install it. My browser says I'm using 8.0 and that my browser is up-to-date. However, when I try to install Firebug for 8.0 or any other add on it says I'm using 3.5.6. Even gmail is saying that my browser is out dated! How can I get my browser to be truly updated??

CPUs and Patch Set Updates

hi,
if somebody can help me clarify on what security patches should be installed for Audit Vault.
I have installed 10.2.3 and patch set 10.2.3.1
CPUOct2009 specifies the following:
+ Critical Patch Updates are applied only on the base release version, for example 10.2.0.4.0
+ Patch Set Updates can be applied on the base release version or on any earlier Patch Set Update. For example, 10.2.0.4.2 can be applied on 10.2.0.4.1 and 10.2.0.4.0
+ Once a Patch Set Update has been applied, the recommended way to get future security content is to apply subsequent Patch Set Updates. Reverting from an applied Patch Set Update back to the Critical Patch Update, while technically possible, requires significant time and effort, and is not advised.
So for Audit Vault, is 10.2.3 considered the base release version, or 10.2.3.1?
Should i install Patches 6914302 and 7240123 (indicated in Table 5 of CPUOct2009) ?
or are we covered security-wise and just wait for 10.2.3.2?
thank you!

If I were you I would first make sure CS6 was deactivated or signed-out. Then download Adobe's cleaner and remove cc, CS6 and any other creative application installed including Creative Cloud desktop application. Then install CS6 and use your CS6 serial number during the install to activate CS6 standard or extended which ever the serial number is for. CS6 Version 13.0 should the be activated. That level of CS6 is extremely bug ridden so be sure to the use CS6 menu Help>Updates to get CS6 updates. Windows should update to version 13.0.1.3 Mac to version 13.0.6. Not Subscription CS6 version 13.1.2...

The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the windows installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program

trying to install an update patch for Citrix xendesktop 7.5 and the error when I click on the msi patch is "the upgrade patch cannot be installed by the windows installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch
may update a different version of the program"
The application was installed 2 days prior and works fine but the patch will not install.
Any ideas?
Wendy2014

Yes let's see if there is any error occurs in installation log.
Meanwhile from the error message, the possible cause is that a part of the application is missing such as a registry key with app version. In this situation you can first test to reinstall/repair the application though it is still working fine - see if issue
persists after reinstall the app.
Meanwhile you could also contact Citrix about this issue. It may be a common issue and Citrix may provide a quick fix for it.

If my phone service is disconnected, can I still use the number to iMessage? Under my setting in iMessages it only allows me to select my linked emails and the telephone number is there but grayed out and i can't seletect it ! It wont activate. I just recentely got AT&T. When I had verizon before and my phone got disconnected it allowed me to still iMessage off my number.

If your phone service is disconnected, it's not your number any more.
If you "just got AT&T", how can it be disconnected?

I currently have iTunes version 7 and I need to upgrade to version 10. I am afraid of losing all my music if I just download 10 and when I use the "Check for updates" in the version 7 help menu, it tells me the server cannot be contacted.

I currently have iTunes version 7 on my computer and need to upgrade to version 10 to sync my new nano iPod. When I tried the "check for updates" under the version 7 "help" menu, it said it could not contact the update server. I am afraid if I just download version 10 from the website, it will wipe out my music library. What should I do to upgrade?

Back up your music and install from the website. You probably won't need to do this, but if your library is erased, restore it from the backup.

Edited by: rootsman on Apr 12, 2012 1:36 AM

Hi Rootsman,
There are 2 possible causes for this issue.
1. Because an incorrect syntax was used to apply the SQL part of the patch. If the password for the user is not added in the command line, the rcuJDBCEngine will fail. The rcuJDBCEngine will not prompt for the password (like sqlplus does), if it is not provided on the command line.
- Incorrect syntax
+$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rcuJDBCEngine sys@<host>:<port>:<SID> JDBC_SCRIPT post_install_script.sql $PWD $ORACLE_HOME+
- Correct syntax
+$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rcuJDBCEngine sys/<password for sys>@<host>:<port>:<SID> JDBC_SCRIPT post_install_script.sql $PWD $ORACLE_HOME+
2. This problem may also occur if the password has been supplied on the command line but includes some special characters.
The solution is to stick to the syntax described in the README.txt which states to enter the sys password on the command line:
+$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rcuJDBCEngine sys/<password for sys>@<host>:<port>:<SID> JDBC_SCRIPT post_install_script.sql $PWD $ORACLE_HOME+
If there are any special characters in the password, enclose the password in single-quotes ' '. For example:
+$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rcuJDBCEngine sys/'<password>'@<host>:<port>:<sid> JDBC_SCRIPT post_install_script.sql $PWD $ORACLE_HOME+
Hope your problem gets resolved.
Thanks,
Cris
