Patchset specification

Hello to everybody,
I looking for the meaning of the last digit in the description of oracle patchsets. For example I have the 9.2.0.4.0 patchset. I never found an 9.2.0.4.1 or an description in metalink or otn.
Is there anybody can describe the meaning of these last digit or any url?
Thanks in advance!
Peter Michael

Jens,
This was perhaps true before 9i. But as noted in the Admin Guide somethings changed...
9.2.0.1.0
9 -> Major Database Release Number
2 -> Database Maintenance Release Number
0 -> Application Server Release Number
This digit reflects the release level of the Oracle9i Application Server (Oracle9iAS).
1 -> Component Specific Release Number
0 -> Platform Specific Release Number
This digit identifies a platform specific release. Usually this is a patch set. Where
different platforms require the equivalent patch set, this digit will be the same
across the effected platforms.
Before a release was three digits, eg 8.1.7. now it is eg 9.2. (Maintenance release digit moved). Also note the third digit, as it (believe it nor not) denotes App Server release level!
Then there's the Component Specific Release Number which means that patch set number (like when we say 9.2.0.4) is not always "common" across components (XML Dev kit is 9.2.0.6 in "DB" 9.2.0.4).
Is this what they call Unbreakable Confusion? ;)

Solaris 10 rebooting / resetting loop after recent patchset install

I installed the latest patchset the other day and everything looked like it installed correctly, I received no errors. Afterwards and going to reboot, the system now is in a constant reboot loop.
Rebooting with command: boot / pci@0,6000000/pci@0/pci@8/pci@0/scsi@1/disk@0,0:a
The / file system (dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0) is being checked
Syncing file systems . . . Done
rebooting . . .
Restting . . .
I can get the machine to boot into failsafe, and I have backed out the last two kernel patches, because my support tech told me too to see if that was the cause of the problem, however that didn't really do anything it's still in this reboot loop.
If I try and get it too boot to single usermode, I get the same results of the constant reboots. Support really doesn't seem to know what else to do, so what I'm wondering is, if I boot to CD-Rom and do a reinstall of Solaris, will that keep all my data or will that format the drives? I'm wondering because we have a ton of data on it and I really don't want to lose it all.

You run its script and it takes all that information for you, then saves everything in a single output file.
Even if it's a deprecated tool, it would still be good enough.
I'm wondering if this could be a firmware problem on the machine itself?As I tried to say in my first reply...
Yes, software patch bundles do need specific minimum OBP patch levels on certain systems. You haven't yet told anyone here what model your system actually is but when glancing at your device path to the disk drive, I made a guess.
As I also mentioned in my first reply, newer software patch levels can also effect how other hardware components like RAM might work and can suddenly reveal marginal DIMMs that used to work but aren't good enough any more.

Patchset 10.2.3.2 and Error OUI-10091

Hello,
when I'm trying to install patchset 10.2.3.2 on OAV collection agent with OUI (previous version is 10.2.3.0 and patchset on server is already done), in window Product-Specific Prerequisite Checks are all checks marked as succeeded. After I click next, the following error appears:
OUI - 10091: There are no patches that need to be applied from the patchset Oracle Audit Vault 10g Release 2 Patch Set 2 10.2.3.2.0.
Does anybody have any idea?
thank you

POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE CAUSE:
Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) will throw the message due to reasons :
Oracle Software might be already on 10.2.3.2.Please start the sqlplus and check the banner for the version to make sure that the version of the software.
You might be applying the patchset 10.2.3.2 on a wrong ORACLE_HOME.
The Local inventory may be corrupted.
POTENTIAL/POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
Make sure that you are applying the patchset on top of the correct Oracle Home.
Make sure that the inventory is healthy.Check if OPatch is able to list all the products.
% OPatch lsinventory -detail
( if local inventory is corrupted, the only ways is to reinstall the software)
Then continue with the installation

Remove 10.2.0.4 patchset software

Hi,
I have patched and upgraded a 10.2.0.1 database to 10.2.0.4 patchset, leaving the COMPATIBLE init parameter set to 10.2.0.1. Before doing so, I haven't backuped the Oracle Home directory. Now I'd like to revert the patchset, thus returning to the 10.2.0.1 version.
In the 10.2.0.4 Database Patch Set Notes, chapter 11. Removing the Patch Set Software, it is reported that I should restore the old ORACLE_HOME from backups. I also searched on metalink and found the same answer. Then I thought of this: Is there any difference if instead of restoring the database software from backup, I perform a new fresh 10.2.0.1 installation in a new oracle home and use that instead of the one I should have backuped in the first place?
Thanks in advance for any answers.
Regards,
Jure

Any specific reason for reverting back?The production database is on 10.2.0.1 (I know, we should upgrade....) and the test database was upgraded from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.4. Now there's a requirement to periodically refresh the test database from prod, and I thought using RMAN's DUPLICATE DATABASE would be the easiest and fastest solution. The problem is that I can't duplicate across different versions (using Datapump's export/import would be an option, but it's much more time consuming).
Now, since I'm going to wipe out the current test database anyway, it actually doesn't mater if I make a fresh 10.2.0.1 installation or revert the 10.2.0.4 back to 10.2.0.1, but I think it its good to know if it's possible to revert when not having the original OH backup. I mean, what could I do if e.g. I make a backup of OH, but then that backup gets damaged....
and more over you can't use the datafiles either, you need to restore the entire DB (OH+datafiles)But if I understood the Patch Set Notes correctly, it's necessary to run two scripts which perform the necessary downgrade actions (also on the datafiles) which make datafiles "usable" for 10.2.0.1 SW:
+11 Removing the Patch Set Software+
The catdwgrd.sql script enables the user to restore the Oracle Database installation of the database back to the original 10.2 release that the user backed up before applying the patch set. The catdwgrd.sql script is run in the 10.2.0.4 Oracle home to perform necessary downgrade actions. After the 10.2.0.x release is restored, the catrelod.sql script is run from 10.2.0.x Oracle home to reload the 10.2.0.x release packages and views.
And step 5 of the described process states:
Restore the Oracle10g installation and Central Inventory that you backed up before applying the patch set.
This is where I'd like to use a fresh 10.2.0.1 SW installation.

Jure

Discoverer 10.1.2.2.0 Patchset

When can we expect Discoverer 10.1.2.2.0 Patchset on
platform Sparc/Solaris?
I understand that it's only available on Linux!
/Thomas

Hi,
It is still recommended to move to 10.1.2.2 + Discoverer cumulative patch III per MetaLink Note 237607.1 ALERT: Required and Recommended Patch Levels For All Discoverer Versions
This patch contains all the EBS 11i FND/SSO code necessary for integration. There is one specific bug on certain platforms using EBS 11i 'SECURE' Mode with 11i (does not affect 12) that Oracle Support/Development will work with you if you encounter it. They stated that it will likely be in the next Discoverer cumulative patch and that EBS development will update the note you mentioned to state the certifications.
It sounds like there might have been some crossed communication in your case. Hope that helps you out.
Regards,
Steve.

Interoperability Notes for Patchset

Hi
Reading note for Patch 4547809, preparing for the patch set that will update our 9.2.0.5 to 9.2.0.8, it explains:
If you are an Oracle E-Business Suite customer and you want to upgrade your Oracle E-Business Suite release 11i database server to this patch set, then you must check the latest certification status and Interoperability Notes available on the OracleMetaLink Web site at:
http://metalink.oracle.com
Could someone please make this a little more specific??
Thanks!
AIX 5.2
EBS 11.5.10
Oracle 9.2.0.5

Thanks Hussein.
One last thing (for today :) :
we are told in the same README:
This patch set includes Oracle Universal Installer release 10.1.0.5. You must use this Oracle Universal Installer to install this patch set and not Oracle Universal Installer from the 9.2.0.x maintenance release media or Oracle home.
This is not a complete software distribution. You must install it in an existing Oracle9i release 2 (9.2.0.x.x) installation. Users applying this patch set must use Oracle Universal Installer release 10.1.0.5 (provided as part of this patch set) or later to ensure that their Oracle home can be patched in the future. Oracle Universal Installer release 10.1.0.5 is also installed when you install this patch set.
This, in effect, is telling us to install the OUI 10.1.0.5? But we must FIRST download and install it?
OK, I think I understand - as it says, above, Oracle Universal Installer release 10.1.0.5 is also installed when you install this patch set.
from http://searchoracle.techtarget.com/expert/KnowledgebaseAnswer/0,289625,sid41_gci1232869,00.html#
The Oracle Universal Installer is included when you download Oracle software. You could choose the software you want to install from this page.
Please take note of the license agreement that you must agree to prior to downloading the software. I'm not sure why you would need that specific version of the OUI. Is this version specified as required in a patchset document? If so, the specific OUI release will usually be provided as part of the patchset downloaded from Oracle's Metalink Web site, so that you will not have to download it separately.
So, I dont think I need to take any further action - it will be included in the Patch Set. I am just curious as to how this works - we need it to install the patch set, but its included in the patch set? When does it get installed? With the patch set?
Thanks, again, Hussein.

Applying patchset 10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.1 Oracle client on Linux

Hi folks,
I want to apply patchset 10.2.0.3 to a 10.2.0.1 Oracle "Client" on Linux (both 32bit and 64bit). So, I started with the 64bit Linux.
1. installed the 10.2.0.1 Client,
2. downloaded the patchset 10.2.0.3 (5337014) for 64bit Linux,
3. read the documentation for the 5337014 patchset
I also downloaded the patchset 5601428 (specified in document 412160.1 referenced in the patchset document), and patchsets 4689959 and 5632264 (specified in document 396671.1 - which is Time Zone related).
I understand that if I do apply the 10.2.0.3 patchset to a 10.2.0.1 database server installation, then I need to apply the patchsets 5601428 and 4689959 (or 5632264) but for just applying the patchset 10.2.0.3 (5337014) to a 10.2.0.1 client, do I still need to apply 4689959 and/or 5632264 ?
will simply (only) applying 10.2.0.3 (5337014) will do the job on the Oracle Client ?
I have done this so many times for the Database Server but haven't done it for the Oracle Client - did search the forums and Metalink but did not find anything specific to applying patchsets to Oracle Client installations.
Thank you and Best regards
Zafer

Somebody replied my query on Metalink telling me applying the patchset is the same as the server and to follow the installation manual instructions :) Oracle patchset installation help file (document) could be clearer for the Client installation (as they did include explicit sections for RAC's, etc in the same doc).

Reapplying patchset 10.2.0.5 after dg4msql gateway installation

Hello,
I have patched a 10.2.0.1 RDBMS with a 10.2.0.5 (64 bit) patchset without any problems and installed a dg4msql gateway - also without problems. The dblink to the sql server works just fine.
But:
on note 562509.1 on metalink, the instructions specifically say that if you are installing a gateway into an existing oracle home and you have previously patched that oracle home, then you should reapply the patchset.
When I tried to apply the patchset again (I have turned off the listener and shutdown the database), the prerequisite check says everything is OK, but on the very next step I receive an error:
Abnormal program termination. An internal error has occured. Please provide the following files to Oracle Support:
"/oracle/oraInventory/logs/installActions2011-11-04_08-27-30AM.log"

The .log file doesn't contain anything out of ordinary except the error message at the end with no further explanation. The .err file contains the following:

Thank you for a quick response,
yes I have applied the 10.2.0.5 patch to the ora10 home (10.2.0.1) and afterwards installed 11.2 gateway to the same oracle home. Obviously that was the problem. Luckily that was only my test system so I can be more careful in the future. I will test by installing the gateway in a separate oracle home.
One more question: When you said
"If you applied the 11.2 patchset to the 10.2 OH then you will have to restore the 10.2 software into the 10.2 OH as it will have been corrupted by the 11.2 software."
How do I restore the 10.2 software ? Should I reinstall the 10.2.0.1 software and patch it to 10.2.0.5 ? Won't that remove the gateway ? If that is the case I will install the gateway in a separate OH.
Thank you again
Kind regards
BL

How can I setup a mail-specific passcode/restriction on iPad used by multiple family members?

How can I setup a mail-specific passcode/restriction on iPad used by multiple family members?
Have an Exchange mail account setup and accessible in my mail on iPad... however my kids use it and i would like to restrict them from accessing this specific portion of the device. I tried viewing restriction options and do not see that i can apply a restriction specifically to Mail. Thanks for your help.

Not a feature of iOS. Check the AppStore to see if there are other
mail apps that allow passcode protection.
Or use Safari to log onto your email via a web-based interface and
enter your credentials each time. A bit slower, but the kids will
not know the details to login.

Cannot send email from Verizon to a specific domain using the web UI

I'm trying to send an email to a specific address on a domain I own from a Verizon account using the web UI. Whenever I click send, a popup appears saying "Your e-mail contains the following invalid e-mail addresses:" followed by the email address. I can send email to this address from a GMail account as well as my work email.
In Chrome, I can see that a "code":1002 error is being produced.
Does anyone know why this would happen? Does Verizon check destination domains for reputation? Is there any way to debug this further?
