Patching Oracle Database

Hi all
11.2.0.3
Aix 6.1
I am new to this company. My boss give me task to apply all the patches not yet applied to our databases which is recommended by Oracle, and
bring our database to the latest patch available in the MOS.  This is mandated by the corporate auditor to bring our database to the latest patch
specially the security patches. My boss mentioned all the RDA, PSU, One-off patches should be applied. Where can I find the inventory of latest patches
in MOS? How many types of database patches are there?  What do you mean by RDA, PSU, and One-off? What do you call the patch 11.2.0.3.5 ? is it one-off/rda/psu? I also download patch 11.2.0.3 and I found it to be 5Gb in size? Am I getting the right file?
Thanks a lot,
zxy

I thank you all,
My question is where can I download or find these quarterly patches generated by oracle? Is an email sent to the members that the quarterly security patch is already available? To which folder should I download it from?
Where you think you can download the patches from? You should be knowing this by now since you have spent  a lot of time on the forums already . The patches are distributed from My Oracle Support and needs a valid CSI before you attempt to login to that website. If you are a valid customer, you would get email from MOS. To which folder you should download it from, well not from a folder but from a website MOS.

  • Hi, I don't know how to find a specific security patch to apply to my Oracle database version to fix a vulnerability

    Hi, I don't know how to find a specific security patch to apply to my Oracle database version 11.2.0.2.0 (on windows server 2003 32 bits) to fix the following vulnerability:
    Risk: High
    Application: oracle_tnslsnr
    Port: 1521
    Protocol: tcp
    Synopsis:
    It is possible to register with a remote Oracle TNS listener.
    Description:
    The remote Oracle TNS listener allows service registration from a remote host. An attacker can exploit this issue to divert data from a
    legitimate database server or client to an attacker-specified system.
    Successful exploits will allow the attacker to manipulate database instances, potentially facilitating man-in-the-middle, sessionhijacking,
    or denial of service attacks on a legitimate database server.
    Solution:
    Apply the work-around in Oracle's advisory.
    Thank you for your help

  • Error when installing 9.0.1.4.0 patch set for the Oracle Database Server.

    Hi to all.
    Currently, i am trying to install patches for portal server.
    The server OS is Sun Solaris 8.
    We are using Oracle9iAS.
    Now, we are installing 9.0.1.4.0 patch set for the Oracle Database Server.
    We managed to install the patch, but have problem with the Post Install Action.
    We managed to run
    -ALTER SYSTEM ENABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
    -@rdbms/admin/catpatch.sql
    -ALTER SYSTEM DISABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
    -CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
    -update obj$ set status=5 where type#=29 and owner#!=0;
    -commit;
    But, when we come to the next command, which is to shutdown, it gives us like
    this..
    SQL> update obj$ set status=5 where type#=29 and owner#!=0;
    1402 rows updated.
    SQL> commit;
    Commit complete.

    We tried to startup the database..it gives us this error..

    So, we tried to shutdown again..
    SQL> shutdown immediate
    ORA-01089: immediate shutdown in progress - no operations are permitted
    I been informed that this is maybe a Database problem related. Any ideas?
    Best Wishes,
    Rushdan Md Saad.

    Patchsets could be obtained (only) from http://metalink.oracle.com
    You need to have valid CSI for access.

  • 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!
    Siri

  • Oracle Database 11.1.0.6 Online Patch

    I'm trying to make some testing on Online Patching. My dev environment contains of two RAC clusters (2 nodes each) configured in Data Guard with Physical Standby. The problem is that description of every patch for my version on Metalink states that I need to shutdown all instances before patching, so I suppose it's impossible to apply them online. Is it possible to apply any of these patches online? If it isn't, where should I go to find patch to apply online?

    Little bit closer, but it still isn't that. I've found some [dummy patch|https://updates.oracle.com/download/6198642.html] created by Oracle for testing purposes of hot patching. But all what this patch is doing is copying some SQL to directory in ORACLE_HOME - without any shared library switch (no messages in alert.log). I'd be very glad if somebody can tell me where to find REAL patch I can apply online (Oracle states that about 95% of interim patches can be applied online - is it possible that all patches for Linux-32 and 11.1.0.6 are in five percents that doesn't apply? :-) )
    ------ UPDATE -------
    Or maybe somebody know where can I download this "patch":

  • OWB version does not change with Oracle database 11.1.0.7 patch

    Hi,
    This is Kumar and I have just completed applying Oracle database 11.1.0.7 patch (p6890831_111070_Linux-x86-64.zip) on top of Oracle 11.1.0.6 database on RedHat Linux machine. After successful installation, I have issues below statement to check the validity and version of the installed components.
    select comp_name, version, status from dba_registry;
    I could see all the component's version as 11.1.0.7 except OWB component's version which is still *11.1.0.6.0* and status is VALID
    Could you please let me know what went wrong in my installation? or Is this behavior expected one?
    Regards,
    Kumar

    Did you check with Patch inventory ?
    You can run the OWB health check script (download from metalink) to the configuration.

  • Solaris 10 patches for Oracle Database 11gR2

    Hi,
    I downloaded Oracle Solaris 10 s/w from e-Delivery and got it installed. For Oracle Database 11gR2 I also need the followging patches:
    120754-06: SunOS 5.10_x86 libmtsk
    119961-05: SunOS 5.10_x86: Assembler
    119964-14: SunOS 5.10_x86 Shared library patch for C++_x86
    Though we have access to MyOracleSupport we can only download s/w patches using our support contract with Oracle and not OS patches.
    Is there any other way I can get these patches.
    Rgds,
    Thiru.

    Thiru,
    You won't find the patches in the patches/ directory on the DVD or the ISO image. Oracle integrates the patches directly into the packages, so there is no need to provide or install them separately.
    All patches have a patch number (e.g. 120754) and a revision (e.g. 06). A newer revision of a patch always contains all fixes of the previous revisions. So try to run "showrev -p | grep 120754" instead, and you'll see that patch 120754-08 is pre-installed. As revision 08 is newer/higher than 06, the patch requirement is satisfied.
    Hope that helps,
    mp.

  • Apply Patches on Oracle Database with Logical Standby Database

    Here I am:
    I got a primary database with a logical standby database running Oracle 11g. I got two client applications, one is the production site pointing to the primary one, another one is just a backup site pointing to the logical one.Things will only be written into the primary database every mid night and client applications can only query the database but not add, update nor delete.And now, I want to apply the latest patch on both of my databases. I am also the DNS administrator, I can make the name server pointing to the backup site instead of the production one.I want to firstly apply the patch on the logical one, and then the physical one.
    I found some reference which explains how to apply patches by adopting "Rolling Upgrade Method". however, I want to avoid doing any "switch over" mentioned in the reference because I can make use of name server. Can I just apply patches as the following way?
    1)Stop SQL apply
    2)Apply patches on logical standby database
    3)let the name server point to the backup site
    4)Apply patches on the primary database
    5)Start SQL apply
    6)Let the name server point back to the production site
    Thanks in advance.

  • 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 Database patching

    Hi plz help me.
    i want to learn oracle database patching from the people like u but before that i tried much hard to find the documentation of patching at oracle documentation center. now after searching it lot i m tired so plz can any one tell me the exact documentation by which i can learn patching for applications. plz help me.
    nikhil

    The patch(set) documentation is included in the patch zip file. The best way to learn about patching database should be to build a test db, then try to patch/upgrade it.
