SAP Bundle Patches VS Orclaes CPU Patches

Fellow admins
Sorry I am new to these Oracle CPU patches what is the difference between SAP Bundle and Oracle Patches besides Oracle CPU's are for Native ORacle systems and the Bundle patches have fixes related to SAP's interaction with Oracle? Is there any other things I should be concerned with?
Thanks
Mike

Hello Mike,
An SBP contains the following:
    o The current Patch Set Update (PSU).
    o SAP-specific single patches and merge patches that are required but not contained in the PSU.
    o Generic patches that are not contained in the PSU.
    o The current SAP-specific optimizer merge patch.
    o README.html: Installation description for the SBP.
    o bugs_fixed.html: List of patches included.
SBPs are cumulative; that is, the next SBP contains all patches of its predecessor plus the newly-added patches.
You can find further information on note [1137346|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1137346].

CPU patch for 10.2.0.4.0

I am using oracle 10gr2.4.0,
platform: hp-ux itanium 11.31
i would like to apply CPU patch or PSU.
cpu patch :8836308
PSU patch 8833280
will you please clarify...

A PSU (or PatchSet Update) include the CPUs (or Critical Patch Update) and several individual patches (one off-patched) which are not included into a single CPU.
Depending of your shop policies, PSU could be more appropriate.

MOPatch bpmig.sh Structural Changes in SAP Bundle Patches

Structural Changes in SAP Bundle Patches New!
As of June 2014, there is a change in the internal structure of the SAP Bundle Patches (SBPs) for Oracle. While this has many benefits, applying the new SBP for the first time requires special handling. For more information, see the hot news SAP Note 2011199.
When looking at note 2011199 I found due to the changed structure and to identify stand alone patches it is recommended to run the bpmig.sh script.
To avoid these problems or to detect them before actually installing this SBP, you must run the bundle patch migration script bpmig which is delivered with MOPatch 2.1.16 and later.
The script comes up with an error message:
Cannot determine SBP version from "SAP Bundle Patch 11.2.0.3.2 - 201205".
opatch / mopatch semselfs seems to function properly...
Any clues?

Hi,
Please check the following SAP Note 2032109 - Executing bpmig.sh shows "Cannot determine installed SBP"
Thanks.

Problem when apply SAP Bundle Patch for 10.2.0.5

Hi,
We are trying to apply SAP Bundle Patch (SBP) SAP_102052_201102_SOL64.zip and SAP_102052_201103_SOL64.zip using MOPatch utility. Both MOPatch and OPatch utility have been updated with the latest download from SAP. When applying patch for SAP_102052_201102, most patches went through except for one patch that requires OPatch to be version 10.2.0.5.0. The OPatch version downloaded from SAP is 10.2.0.4.9. Even the OPatch delievered together in the SAP_102052_201102_SOL64.zip file is 10.2.0.4.9.
Below are extract of the opatch log file for this patch:

Hi,
I went to
http://service.sap.com/oracle-download
then
Oracle 10.2.0.5
then
OPatch
The file I can see there is generic for ALL operating systems and the name is:
OPatch_10205_Generic_v0.zip
it seems that the version is 10.2.0.5, not 10.2.0.4.9 as you mentioned.
I have downladed it and look at the README:
Patch summary:
README file for OPatch 10.2.0.5.0, the Oracle Interim Patching Tool.
I'm not installing it, but it seems that the version is not the same as yours.
Is this the one you have downloaded?
Have you installed it properly? => may be you are running an older one

SAP Bundle Patches and Automatic Oracle parameter check script (note117165)

After reading SAP note 1027012 on SAP Bundle Patches and SAP note 1171650 on the
automatic Oracle parameter check script I have a simple question:
Is it still necessary to manually check whether some patch is installed in order to determine
exactly which event and fixcontrol to set?
Or is the automatic Oracle parameter check script so sophisticated that it is fully
sufficient to implement its recommendations, and you don't neet to manually
check any more which SBP with which bugfixes has been installed?
It would be great if SAP could confirm that the automatic parameter check is sufficient,
but so far I haven't seen this statement explicitly. I believe this is mostly because it
is so difficult (impossible?) to determine via SQL which patches have been applied.
Regards,
Mark

Yes and No.
until now, fixcontrol are dependent of CBO patches and those are "register" on the view v$system_fix_control. They can be "check" autmatically, so you get the "proper" recommendation for those.
the parameter event depends on different situations, like some patches. But those patches are "normal" patches and it is not possible to check if they are installed from inside the DB with a simple script. For those, the check script will tell you to do it manually and will tell you which patch has to be check
In addition, there are other parameters that have to be check "manually", like processes (where you get a "semiautomatic" check) or db_cache_size, where you should check if the size

The automatic parameter check is sufficient, meaning that you get all information, including the parameters that you have to check manually and some information for that check. Currently, it is not possible to automatize it 100%

Sapstart fails after installation of CPU-Patch April2009 on Oracle 10.2.0.4

Hi Experts,
after installing the CPU-Patch April2009 for Oracle 10.2.0.4, startsap fails with error code 12.
Starting everything manually works (lsnrctl start, sqlplus and do startup, after that startsap works).
When the listener and the database are running, things like R3trans -x also work without errors.
I found a SAP-Note 97953 but I don't know if this is the solution. Some of the oracle-executables in the bin-directory have been modified. So there is a "oracle" and a "oracle0" . The timestamp indicates to me that these files were modified while implementing the CPU-Patch.
I also checked SAP-Note 583861but with no success.
regards
Dirk

Hi Markus,
if the database ist down and I execute "R3trans -d" I'll get the following error.
R3trans -d
This is R3trans version 6.18 (release 710 - 08.10.07 - 13:37:00).

and trans.log looks like:

If the database is up everything works. Here is the output of "R3trans -d"
R3trans -d
This is R3trans version 6.18 (release 710 - 08.10.07 - 13:37:00).
unicode enabled version
R3trans finished (0000).
For me this all looks o.k. when the database is down R3trans won't be able to reach it and if the database is up it works. But why I can't then just execute "sapstart" ?

JUL09 CPU Patch for EMREP DB.

All,
I recently installed 10gR5 Grid Control, and the database that comes bundled with the installation is Oracle Database 10g 10.1.0.5.0.
Well the JUL09 CPU Patch for this database was released, but the patch is in extended support. What does the community recommend as a best practice in this case? Upgrade the database to Oracle Database 10g 10.2.0.4.0?
Any suggestions would be fantastic. Thanks!

Yes that is what I did and it worked great.
Now when I upgraded the 10.1.0.5 repository for another server's Application Server and deinstalled the old version of the database from the infrastructure home, it could not update the inventory information correctly and now I always have a 10.1.0.5 entry in the console's main page showing zero installations. Anybody know of a workaround?
Also do not apply the cpujul2009 (Patch 8537032) to the OMS home. It screws up the job system. I tried it twice with the same results.

CPU patch for windows

Hi ,
Is the oracle CPU patchs released separately for windows platform (like how they release it for UNIX flavours ).... or is it only Bundle patches for windows . I did some metalink search and google search and my understaing is there is no CPU patches for windows ... we may need to use only Bundle patches for windows platfrom . If so , does Bundle patch include CPU patches ?

Hi;
You need to check below link and you need to find patch number from notes and you need to check patch from metalink. If the patch is not avaliable for Windows platform than you need to rise SR and get patch from support

LOVs not working in Webi Report for SAP BO 4.1 SP 2 Patch 3

Hello ,
I have developed reports and universes in SAP BO 4.0 SP 5 and i have migrated those reports to higher version of BO which is 4.1 SP2 Patch 3.
My universe is working fine with LOVs but when i run the webi report , the LOVs arent working.
have anyone facing the same issue. any idea why the LOVs arent working on higher version.?

Hi Victor,
The List of values we will assign in universe in order to get filtered data works on universe query panel
but the same objects when i am using in report(webi report) , the List of values are not working .i.e
they are not getting displayed in webi report.
for ex: i have country object having country names as LOVs and state objects having state names as LOVs . Now when i select Country value , the LOVs of state objects should get filtered and shows only states which belongs to country .
the above logic is not working in webi report , i am only able to select country and when i go for state, the state names do not get filtered.
please let me know why this is happening in the SP2 patch 3 version and its working fine for SP2 , but the chrome issue gets solved after applying patch 3 and not if we only upgrade to SP2.
the webi reports are not working in chrome browser if we using SAP B04.1 SP2 and lower version
but the LOVs are not working in SAP BO 4.1 SP 2 patch 1, 2,3.
kindly help me with the issue

CPU patch July 2010 on Oracle 11.1.0.7 database

Hi,
I want to install the July2010 CPU patch (9655014) on a 11.1.0.7 database which was initially created with version 11.1.0.6.
The README file of the patch states the following about recompiling views:
3.2.2.2 Recompiling Views in the Database
You may skip this section if you have recompiled views for this database during the installation of a previous CPU or if the database was created with Release 11.1.0.6 or later.
So I assumed that I do not need to recompile the views but a little further in the README file I read:
If you want to check whether view recompilation has already been performed for the database, execute the following statement.
SELECT * FROM registry$history where ID = '6452863';
If the view recompilation has been performed, this statement returns one or more rows. If the view recompilation has not been performed, this statement returns no rows.
When I execute the select it returns no rows. So this is confusing. Should I perform a view recompilation or not?
And when I execute recompile_precheck_jan2008cpu.sql (strange name for a July 2010 CPU) it says:
SQL> @recompile_precheck_jan2008cpu.sql
Running precheck.sql...
Number of views to be recompiled :1969
Number of objects to be recompiled :4019
Please follow the README.txt instructions for running viewrecomp.sql
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
thanks in advance.
regards,
Ivan

Short answer: you dont need to run view_recompile_jan2008cpu.sql
Long answer:
>
SELECT * FROM registry$history where ID = '6452863';
If the view recompilation has been performed, this statement returns one or more rows. If the view recompilation has not been performed, this statement returns no rows.
When I execute the select it returns no rows. So this is confusing. Should I perform a view recompilation or not?
>
You will only get an entry in registry$history if you had a database that you had actually run the view_recompile_jan2008cpu.sql script which inserts a row into the table at the end of the script:
view_recompile_jan2008cpu.sql
Rem =======================================================================
Rem Insert values for patch into registry.
Rem =======================================================================
INSERT INTO registry$history (action_time, action, id, comments)
        values ( SYSTIMESTAMP, 'CPU', &&PATCH_NUMBER, '&&PATCH_DESC' );
COMMIT; In your case, you will get no entries in the table BUT you do not have to run the view recompilation so long as the database was created using a patched Oracle home of a release where Oracle says the view recompilation is not required.
>
SQL> @recompile_precheck_jan2008cpu.sql
Running precheck.sql...
Number of views to be recompiled :1969
>
This script has a very simple logic that just generates count of views and dependant objects that would need recompilation. The selection criteria does not include actually checking whether you actually need to apply the view recompilation script.
You can test this yourself:
Case#1: Run the recompile_precheck_jan2008cpu.sql on a database where you have applied the view recompilation script. You will find the count shows a non-zero value.
SQL> col action_time format a32
SQL> col version format a15
SQL> col version format a15
SQL> select action_time, version, id from registry$history where ID=6452863;
ACTION_TIME                      VERSION                 ID
24-JUL-10 12.52.15.390000 PM                        6452863
SQL> @recompile_precheck_jan2008cpu.sql
Running precheck.sql...
Number of views to be recompiled :1637
Number of objects to be recompiled :3487
Please follow the README.txt instructions for running viewrecomp.sql
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.Case#2: Create a new database using a version that does not require the view recompilation patch. Run the recompile_precheck_jan2008cpu.sql. You will find the view count shows a non-zero value even though you do not need to recompile the views as mentioned in the Oracle patch notes.

CPU Patch for SOA BPEL -10.1.3.5 and B2B -10.1.2.0.4

We are in DOD -GOVT US marine corps.. WE are on 10.1.3.3.1 .. There is no CPU Patches for 10.1.3.3.1 nor
for 10.1.2.03-B2B
open issues/questions:
Open Issues:
1. What is Oracle's recommendation about upgrading 10.1.3.5 vs 10.1.3.4 (CPU Patch support length). Also CPU Patch support policy for BAM 10.1.3.3.1 and B2B 10.1.2.3.
2. Any MLRs to apply after upgrading SOA/BPEL/WSM/BAM/B2B 10.1.3.5 ?
3. Interoperability of OWSM 10.1.3.4, BAM 10.1.3.3.1, B2B 10.1.2.3 and SOA/BPEL 10.1.3.5. Can they co-exist or must they(one or more) be in same release level?
Thanks & Regards
