Query Regarding Applying One-Off Patches

Hi,
We have plans of doing the following:
Upgrade the databases to 10.2.0.5.0
Apply the 10.2.0.5 PSU 3
Apply a list of one-off patches identified for our environment (which are not included in 10.2.0.5.3)
Query:
If the one-off patches identified to be applied in our environment are available only top of 10.2.0.5.0 and not for 10.2.0.5.3, then which of the following mentioned solutions should be proceed with considering :
Upgrade the database to 10.2.0.5.0, apply the one-off patches available on top of 10.2.0.5.0 and then apply the 10.2.0.5.0 PSU3
or
Upgrade the database to 10.2.0.5.0, apply the 10.2.0.5.0 PSU3, request for one-off patches on top of 10.2.0.5.3 and appy the same
Thanks and Regards,
Santosh

Pl follow the steps is MOS Doc 865255.1 (Best approach for Oracle database patching sequence to latest/required patchset along with CPU/PSU/any-other-one-off patch)

Whether DB restart required for applying one-off patch

Hi All
Whether we need to restart database, after applying one-off patch ( Patch no:6554634). The environment in Oracle 10g R2 on AIX on RAC.

What does the README instruct you to do...Normally it would advice you to restart ur database...
If it is RAC, which way are you applying the patch ??

PSU and One-off patching on GRID Home

Grid Infrastructure Version: 11.2.0.2
Question1.
Do you apply one-off patches for GI HOME? I have only applied PSUs on Grid Home . I have never applied a one-off patch on a Grid HOME.
So, I thought of downloading a GRID related one-off patch for AIX . So, I looked for
12767231 - AIX-11202-GIPC DISABLE SWITCH PORT FOR ONE PRIVATE NIC,HAIP DID NOT FAILOVERwhich is part of GI PSU 11.2.0.2.4 ( 12827731).
But when I searched for the one-off patch 12767231 in patch search in Metalink, I couldn't find the patch download for this particular bug.
I think you can apply this one-off patch only as a part of PSU. Right?
Question2.
Why on earth should I apply GI's PSU(or one-off patch) on RDBMS_HOME or vice versa?
RAC Databases run on the top of CRS stack.
Although related ,both GRID HOME and RDBMS HOME contain different binary files doing different things. So why should we apply GI's PSU/one-off patch on RDBMS_HOME and RDBMS_HOME's PSU on GRID Infrastructure HOME?
Question3.
We install grid using Grid Installer GUI. When doing a fresh installation of 11.2.0.2 or 11.2.0.3 in a new server , I want to apply its latest PSU as well. When should I do this PSU patching ?
A. Before running root.sh ?
One of last screens we get in Grid Installation is where the installer prompts you to run root.sh (see the screenshot below)
http://husnusensoy.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/camtasiastudio351.png
Should I do the PSU patching now ? ie just before executing root.sh ?
B. or After running root.sh ? ie. After the whole Grid Installation is succesfully complete ?

Hello There.
for question number 3. What I do is this:
1. Execute runinstaller for grid, choose to check for patches, and put those patches in a folder, the next install don't need to go to internet, and reuse the 2 downloaded patches avaliable as today for 11.2.0.3.
2. patch GI (Grid Infrastucture home)
3. Install DB Binaries, no db creation
4. Patch DB Binaries
5. Create DB using dbca.
hope this helps.

Has someone applied the one off patch for-ONS bug 5749953 SIGBUS ERROR

Hello all,
Env:: 10g on Soalris
I need to apply the one-off patch for
Bug:5749953 -- ONS SIGBUS ERROR AFTER INSTALL PATCHSET 10.2.0.3 FOR CRS
Usually for any CPU we issue opatch apply from the patch directory.
and its mentioned in the readme.html as well.
But for this one off patch, there isn't anything mentioned in the readme.html.
All it says is
# 6. Patch the Files
#    6.1 Patch the CRS home files
#    After unlocking any protected files and saving configuration settings
#    you are now ready to run opatch using the following command.
#    As the Oracle Clusterware (CRS) software owner;
#    % opatch apply -local -oh <CRS_HOME>
#    Note: In configuration A, invoke this only on one node.
#    6.2 Patch the RDBMS home files.
#    Alert: The RDBMS portion can only be applied to an RDBMS home that
#          has been upgraded to 10.2.0.3.0.
#    For additional information please read Note.363254.1;
#    Applying one-off Oracle Clusterware patches in a mixed version home
#    environment
#    As the RDBMS software owner;
#    % opatch apply custom/server/5749953 -local -oh <RDBMS_HOME>
#    Note: In configuration A, invoke this only on one node.Could someone let me know from where i should give 'opatch apply' if patch.zip files are unzipped in /export/home/oracle/5749953 ? TIA,
JJ

The patch can always be installed in 2 ways.
1. Do a cd and then run opatch
cd <patchlocation>
opatch apply
2. Else specify the patch location as an argument
opatch apply <full path to the patch i.e the one you do cd above> ...
Both the above styles yield same result.

Patch apply on Windows platforms which bundle one-off patches sets.

Dear All,
I need help from urgent basis, If you have document for patch apply on Windows platforms which bundle one-off patches sets.
For example 10.2.0.3 to Oracle Client patch (7117709) 10.2.0.4 .
Thanks for all

Each patch/patchset has a readme file. This file describes how to apply a patch.

Are One-Off patches client specific?

Hi
Are One-Off patches client specific? I have a document which lists the patches applied to Oracle Home on existing server and I have to apply the same patches to a new server that I am building. I searched for all the patches listed but the "one-Off" patch listed cannot be found by the search.
Please let me know.

Hmm... maybe I should have provided a bit more info.
The server i am configuring is 10gR2 (client is still using this release and have extended support - so downloading patches should not be a problem). I have to move DBs from existing server to a new one. Before i do that, I have to install exact same binaries (rel and patches) that have been applied to existing server. The document I have been provided contains list of patches applied to oracle home (10.2.0.5). Among the list of patch numbers, this is the only one I could not find.
The do you have referred to is for 11g not 10g.

then you need to follow Srini's suggestion regarding cloning the oracle home.

Interim patch and One-off patch

DB version : 11.2
In oracle terminology, Interim patch is same as one-off patch. Right?

Hi;

In oracle terminology, Interim patch is same as one-off patch. Right?An Interim Patch (formerly known as a “one-off” patch) is a bug fix (or set of fixes) made available to customers who for business reasons cannot wait until the next Patch Set or new product release to get a fix.

Can we apply one off or any patch in the OWB Home

Hi,
I have OWB and Oracle DB installed in same server.
OWB Version - 10.2.0.3.0
DB Version - 10.2.0.5.0
I need to know that, can we apply CPU/PSU/Oneoff patches to the OWB Home. Is there any patches like that specifically for OWB.
As I am new bee on OWB please provide your inputs on this.
Thanks

I get the same issue. I thought that it's a problem in a security - the catalog pane is clear in a union report. But saved filters work in 11g. I migrated catalog from 10g to 11g and I see saved filters in the conditions. But you may add saved filters directly into xml. Go on Tab Advanced and edit Analysis XML. You have to add code like this
<sawx:expr xsi:type="sawx:savedFilter" path="/shared/FOLDER/_filters/FOLDER/FILTER_NAME" name="FILTER_NAME"/> in a right place.

Regarding applying psu patch on rac

dear gurus
actually last time i applied a psu patch which i could apply as rolling patch but i shutdown database and all services
and on node 1 of my rac i applied the patch .it didn't ask for any option that where i want to run and applied on both nodes while i execute the command only from one node.so i performed post steps and it was successful.
now again i need to apply one PSU patch so what's the best way to apply either i go as i did last time shutting down database both instances and services and then apply patch on one node
or shutting down both instances,database services and then apply patch on node 1 as
opatch apply local
then after completing on one node do same on node2
opatch apply local
is it right way and right command
database version 10.2.0.4
Os rhel 4.5

The correct way is described in the README of the patch file.

Applying the right patch (from metalink)

Hello,
I have a question about the patches for Oracle Lite. We use Oracle Lite 10g with the patch Set (PatchNr.: 4082779).
From time to time there are a few errors, which aren't covered in this patch set.
My problem is the following: There are a lot of patches covering the same errors. So, should I take always the latest version?
Another question is, can I take any patch, although we have the Mini Patch Set 4082779 installed? Or do I have to take care about something ? Are there any patches, which belong only to 10.0.0.0.0 Version?
One more: If I apply an patch. Can I see somwhere, if the patch updates the client? We use CE 4.2, so we can't use Mobile manager to get the Client. We take the the Cab - File from the File system. But I don't think the cab - File will be updated by an patch? So how can I update the client, if it is necessary?
Many thanks to all who read this and perhaps give answers.
Kind regards
Holger

You cannot apply a particular patch in a PSU - you have to apply the whole PSU, unless that particular patch is available as a one-off patch. Always follow the instructions included in the README

Why can I only see ten text messages? If i receive an 11th message it automatically knocks the last one off. Please help, it's driving me mad!!!

I have an Iphone 4s and my friends can see all text messages, going back years but I can only see the last ten. If I receive any more than 10 it just knocks the last dated ones off! I have not deleted any so if I haven't deleted any then they must be there but I can't access them. Somebody please help - i've tried everything and gone through every menu!!

I have had a similiar issue with this as well. It gets even scetcher when you create the file extension dynamically.
Technically if one is clever they can create something like this and make the file extension and output format dynamic. What ends up happening is the file extension will get stripped.
I logged a tar with oracle. Kevin in support told me to upgrade to the latest one off patch, I did. The issue still persisted. Kevin then stated, using the java api's is unsupported sucks to be me huh.
Example:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xapi:requestset xmlns:xapi="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xapi" type="bursting">
<xapi:request select="/XXBOL_POXPRPOP/LIST_G_INIT_INFO/G_INIT_INFO/LIST_G_HEADERS/G_HEADERS">
<xapi:delivery>
<xapi:filesystem id="save1" output="/u20/app/DUVS1/apduvs1/applmgr/apps/apps_st/appl/xxbol/1.0.0/temp/bursted/Output_${POH_PO_NUM}.${FILE_EXT}"/>
</xapi:delivery>
<xapi:document output-type="${FILE_OUPUT_FORMAT}" delivery="save1">
<xapi:template type="xsl-fo" location="xdo://XXBOL.XXBOL_POXPRPOP_TP1.en.GB"/>
</xapi:document>
</xapi:request>
</xapi:requestset>
Anyways, it seems like whenever there is an error or mistake anywhere pdf is defaulted (just like you said). It would be much better if it just bombed.
For the sake of doubt try changing it to:
/XXBOL_POXPRPOP/LIST_G_INIT_INFO/G_INIT_INFO/LIST_G_HEADERS/G_HEADERS/POH_PO_NUM
There is zero doubt this node and value should be available to the burster. If that doesn't work it's tar time. Verify the xpath is good in cooktop or xml spy.

Failed worker while applying one patch

Hi All,
I was applying one patch and during the process, a worker stopped with some error. After inspecting the worker log, I raised a Service Request with Oracle Support and support has recommended to apply another patch. Now what should I do?
1) Can I start another patch session, apply the new patch and then proceed with the failed patch session?
2) Should I terminat the existing failed patch session, apply the new patch and restart the whole process of applying the failed patch?
Please suggest, what is the general practice.
Thanks
SR
