Testing after Oracle CPU are applied

We have the following:
RAC Databases
Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 update 2
Oracle 11g Clusterware
Oracle 11g ASM
Oracle Database 11g EE with RAC
Single Instance Databases
Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 update 2
Oracle 11g ASM
Oracle Database 11g EE with RAC
The RAC Database is repository for Siebel Application data.
I will be applying Oracle Critical Patch to databases. What testing should be performed after application of CPU and by whom?

1) I assume you have lower environments (i.e. dev, test, staging/QA in addition to production). I assume as well that you will be applying the patches to the lower environments before production and that you will, therefore, be doing most of your testing in lower environments.
2) What to test and who to test depends on the organization and the application. I would, at a minimum, suggest running your automated test suite for each application against the database in each lower environment when patches are applied. Depending on the criticality of the application and the coverage your automated test suite provides, you may need additional testers (which may be part of a separate testing group, may be part of the development group, or may be business users) to manually validate whatever key business functions the applications provide.

Background updating of previews after sync settings are applied

Once you have a collection imported into the library window and then make a change to 'all' of the images via sync settings, the previews are only updated when you scroll down to display that set of images - and incredibly only when Lightroom has the focus.
This seems incomprehensible to me and incredibly irritating when you are working on global changes to a large batch of images.
I'm happy to go make a cuppa whilst the changes are made, but it does make sense that every thumbnail should be updated with the new settings in the background so I can then scroll through the complete collection with my changes having been applied. As it is, I have to page down, wait for the displayed thumbnails to be updated, and so on until I reach the end of the shoot. I can't even use another program as this seems to make lightroom pause until you return focus to it. Totally impractical when you are dealing with hundreds of images.
Have I missed a switch somewhere?
I'm using NEFs & PhaseOne tiffs on a WinXP Pro machine....and still using CaptureOne until this seemingly obvious requirement is dealt with....

There's a long story here, and a previous post from Mark Hamburg about it, but suffice it to say, this was done for speed and they would like to make this updating a little more intelligent in the future.

How do I Sync All 5,000 of my songs onto my iPod 5th Generation without no problems at all, Most of my songs have the Album Artworks, some are ACC converted but after the "Changes Are Applied", it will say - Songs were not synced. File wasn't convert

I Am having a problem with syncing 5,000+ songs onto my IPod 5th Generation. Everytime I sync, some songs will either go away or ALL of them will come off my iPod. I have iTunes 12 for Windows, and it has a slow syncing process and it will take days for songs to get on the iPod. It will even say that any of the songs "we're not synced to my iPod because the file wasn't converted..
I Need help please, I would appreciate it.

Hey Bryce,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like some songs aren’t being synced to your iPod touch because they aren’t in a compatible format. Can you play those tracks in iTunes? Try selecting the tracks that won’t sync and creating a new version of them with iTunes as shown in the article below.
iTunes 11 for Windows: Save a copy of a song in a new file format
Take care,

Testing after CPU patches

I have successful applied CPU July 2011 ( patch 12406914 and all the post patches)
However my functional consultant wants to know what is the functional impact of this patch so that she can just test these.
As you know CPU are generally have no functional impact and testing should be make sure all ok after patching. Quick and dirty testing.
anybody has a test plan / specific items to be tested after CPUs.
Thank a million in advance

Hi,
Shall i apply the patches in new home and skip post installtion steps which will be run after logging in database as that were done when database was 32 bit?It depends that how you migrated
As far as i know, directly copy paste of database files from 32 bit Linux to 63 bit Linux is not an appropriate way of migration, but, it i have seen this working fine, and if you adopted this method, i don't think that you need to execute post installation as your dictionary/plsql is already updated when you executed scripts on 32 bit.
If you used used transportable tablespaces method and converted files using RMAN, then you would already have done post installation tasks when you created new database on 64 bit before plugging in the transported tablespaces.
If you used export/import, even then you would have done all post installation tasks when you created new database on 64 bit before doing import.

Some Oracle processes are consuming 100% CPU

Hi,
Some of my oracle processes are consuming most amount of cpu continuously.What are the general steps to sort out this problem.I think the query is a tuned one.

Hi,
What is your veriosn of Oracle? what is the OS? which oracle process is consuming 100% CPU? how did u find out it is conuming?
and you have mentiond query is tuned one... it does your query is taking time to execute?
there is no clarity in your question...

Oracle CPU question with 11.5.10 CU2

Just a general question. First time trying to apply an Oracle CPU and in this case applying the July 2010 CPU to our Test E-biz 11.5.10 CU2 RUP7 install.
My configuration is RH Linux ES 4.8 with a 10.2.0.4 database server running admin, db and CCM services and then an app server running forms and web services.
I'm referring to "Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 11i and 12 Critical Patch Update Knowledge Document (July 2010) [ID 986534.1]" and then the subsequent articles that follow that.
My questions are:
Q1. My database level is currently 10.2.0.4. It would appear my steps are first update Opatch (no problem there).
Then apply 9032412.
Then it looks like I apply either CPU Patch 9655017, or PSU Patch 9654991.
But PSU 9654991 REQUIRES PRE-REQUISITE 10.2.0.4.4 so I can't apply that right?
I will apply 9655017 instead and will that get me to 10.2.0.4.5?
Q2. My configuration is DB Tier with CCM and an app Tier running forms, reports as mentioned.
Do I have to worry about the Fusion Middle-ware stuff?
Q3. Patches to apply to E-Business Suite.
Looks like 9578142 applies to my environment.
Check the pre-reqs to ensure I have anything that needs to be applied first.
Then depending on what modules we use or have installed (does it make a difference) I'll apply subsequent patches say for 'Financials'.
Q3. Anything else I need to consider? We are patching Test first and when done if it's all good we'll schedule Prod.
I realize this is a pretty generic question. My main uncertainty is on the db 10.2.0.4 patch and if the 965517 will get me to 102045 or not.
Update - My first patch is giving me the OUI-67620 superset error which I believe is telling me the new patch contains all the fixes from the existing patch so ok to proceed. Right?

Mac Pro 2006 won't boot after attempted cpu swap, Mac Pro 2006 won't boot after attempted cpu swap

I just picked up a used Mac Pro 1,1 (2006). It has 2x2.0 GHz dual-core processors and 5GB of RAM with the 7300GT card.
In this configuration, the machine was running perfectly. I, of course, wanted to upgrade....
I ordered a pair of 5160 3.0GHz processors cheaply and followed a video tutorial to install them. I used Arctic Cleaner and Arctic Silver 5 for the thermal paste.
Bottom line is: I installed the two new processors and when I fired it up, I could hear the fans, optical drive and hard drives all spinning (normal fan speed - NOT "jet mode", and the HD sounds like it's spinning - NOT like it's booting). NO boot chime and NO display. I popped the cover off and saw the CPU B FAIL light on. I swapped CPUs to test the processor, expecting to see the CPU A FAIL light come on. It did not. It just powered the fans/drives with no result (again, with no boot chime and no display).
To make a long and frustrating story short, I wound up putting one of the original 2.0GHz processors in slot A, leaving B empty (maybe I damaged the socket?) and IT STILL WILL NOT BOOT. I have tried all of my processors - the original 2.0GHz and the new 3.0GHz ones - with the same result. There are NO symtoms or indications - no error LEDs, no beeps - no indication why this machine will not boot.
I have reset the SMC, pulled (and replaced) the coin battery, and left it unplugged for over an hour. I have re-seated everything I can think of.
As of rigt now, I can hear the fans quietly humming with the optical drive making a quiet "click" sound as it seeks for a disk to read, and I can hear the faint chatter of the HD head. The power LED is nice and bright (no flashes or pulses), and there are no red LEDs on inside the case. The memory LEDs flash once during bootup and that's it (it's the RAM the machine came with). Pressing the DIAG LED button tells me the machine has power (green LED), has trickle (yellow LED) and the GPU light flashes green.
Of note, during the swap, I got a tiny bit of thermal paste (non conductive) on the contacts of my 2.0 CPUs - which I cleaned off with alcohol and let dry. The gold contacts all appear to be good on the original processors. I can't really see the tiny little pins in the CPU sockets (my eyes are not as young as they used to be!), but the "look" like they're all there.
I'm going to leave this unplugged overnight, but does anyone have any ideas?? If I managed to somehow destroy ALL of the CPUs, wouldn't I get a warning LED or beep or something? Ideas are welcome, as I cannot afford to replace this machine - it has to get me the rest of the way through college.
thanks
Richard

Hello Grant
>
Hardware sets the fans to maximum, and only properly-operating software resets them to "normal levels. If you have fans at normal levels, some software is running.
>
That's what I was thinking, but I'm not even getting the startup chime, and the HD sounds like it's powered on but not doing anything.
EDITED TO ASK: what software could be running at this point? Nothing has loaded from the HD, that much I know...
>Do you still have CPU A or CPU B failure lights?
No. I have just one original processor installed in the CPU A socket. No lights of any kind. (Even if I install an original processor in CPU B, I still occasionall will get a CPU B FAIL light, so I'm thinking I damaged the socket somehow...the light will not be consistent, but it's always the CPU B FAIL light - the light only turns on some of the time (and stays on once lit) - so that's why I pulled the B processor and am simply trying to boot with A alone)
>Do you have a flashing power on light, indicating failed or no memory?
Again, no. I can "make" the light flash by removing the memory riser, but when I re-install the riser, the light stops blinking (with power off during removal/install, of course!)
>Have you done the more severe SMC reset with the reset button OR:
unplug AC power.
Yes. I have used the SMC reset button 3 or 4 times. I unplugged the machine and left it (with coin battery installed) for an hour. The last thing I did last night was that I left it unplugged overnight (with coin battery removed). I have yet to attempt a power on this morning. I will do so and report back.
>
unplug AC power.
Press and hold power-on for a quarter minute to drain the power capacitors.
Re-plug AC power.
wait a quarter minute.
then power on.
>
Haven't done that one yet. (Didnt know about it!). Will try that second today, after attempting the initial boot up after leaving it unplugged all night. (fingers crossed) Of course, the capacitors are likely discharged now after being unplugged and battery-less all night, but you never know...
>Many things have to get synchronized after a CPU swap. It may take a half-dozen reset attempts before everything lines up again and goes.
Thanks for the hope. I will keep trying.
>
I recommmend you remove ALL distractions: all drives, all graphics cards, all PCI cards, all USB devices -- until you get the chime nothing else matters.
Already have done so. Last night I was down to 1 original CPU (CPU A), one memory riser with 1 set of original 1GB DIMMS, 1 bootable HD and nothing else (not even a keyboard/mouse - literally NOTHING else). Will keep trying in this configuration. All I really wanted last night was to hear the "bong" at power on!
Will do a bit more troubleshooting today and will report back.
Thank you!

How to find Oracle drivers are installed in WAS

Hi
I am doing Proto type application using webdynpro.I want to create tables in Oracle database,because WAS is installed on Oracle.Now i went to Visual Admin tool and checked the "JDBC Connector" properties.I tried to create the new 'DataSource".While creating DataSource ,it is asking me DriverName,Driver ClassName,Version.I have following questions:
1.How to find the wheather Oracle drivers are installed or not?if not where to get these drivers?
2.Once DataSource is created ,how to test wheater it is working fine or not?please help
Thanks
Prasad

Hello Prasad,
Don't create a new datasource, but create a datasource alias for the existing SAP<sid>DB datasource with your new name.
(remember to restart the j2ee cluster)
Then in your application instatiate the datasource and use your create/update/select statements.
Once this is set up test from your java code as follows:
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
DataSource mySource = (DataSource)ic.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/YourDataSource");
or.. DataSource mySource = (DataSource)ic.lookup("java:jdbc/YourDataSource"); (can't remember which of the 2 worked)
if this throws a NamingException, then your alias doesn't work, or perhaps you forgot to restart the cluster.
After this executes successfully, use the datasource freely.
Connection con = mySource.getConnection();
con.executeQuery
con.executeUpdate
con.executeStatement
ect...
And forget about oracle, sapdb, informix, db2, or whatever drivers. This makes your application portable and independent from the DB layer.
Please feel free to reward points if this solves your problem.
Best regards,
Homer Vargas

Need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through

Hi, I need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through adpatch.
In patch 1, we have a mv with build mode immediate. When applying it PTS hang due to pool performance of mv refresh.
So we provide patch 2, with that mv build mode deferred, hoping it'll go through. But patch 2 hang too on the same mv.
How does this work? Is that because mv already exists in the database with build immediate, patch 2 will force it to refresh first before changing build mode? How to get over this?
Thanks,
Wei

Hi Hussein,
Thank you for the response.
Application release is 11.5.10.
Patch 1 is MSC11510: 8639586 ASCP ENGINE RUP#38 PATCH FOR 11.5.10 BRANCH
Patch 2 is MSC11510: 9001833 APCC MSC_PHUB_CUSTOMERS_MV WORKER IS STUCK ON "DB FILE SEQUENTIAL READ" 12 HOURS
The MV is APPS.MSC_PHUB_CUSTOMERS_MV
This happens at customer environment but not reproducable in our internal environment, as our testing data is much smaller.
Taking closer look in the logs, I saw actually when applying both patch 1 and patch 2, MV doesn't exist in the database. So seems my previous assumption is wrong. Still, strange that patch 2 contains only one file which is the MV.xdf, it took 7 hours and finally got killed.

Oracle CPU OCTOBER 2011 patch

Hello,
question regarding the Oracle CPU Oct 2001 pach on oracle 10g 10.2.0.5 version on windows 32 bit. in the readme instructios there is step for post installation for database instances to add an event to fix the bug 8298501 to the init.ora file. is this to RAC systems or any single database sevvers? could any one clarify this please? do we have to add this event to the init.ora file at all?
Please shed some lignt....
Thanks a lot...

If there are no conditions stated in the README, I would assume this would apply both single instance and RAC installations.
If the instructions are unclear, pl open an SR with Support.

CPU only applied on the Binary - Catbundle not executed

Hi,
I am facing a situation here in on of the clients and I would like to share this situation about the CPU (Critical Patch Update). Here is the scenario:
1. The database is under 10.2.0.4
2. The CPU applied were the CPUJan2011.
In a brief: The DBA seems to forgot applying the step in the dictionary. So, if you check the Oracle binary by the opatch lsinventory command, you could see that the patch CPU were applied. Now, in the database, you cannot identify the entries in the views. ex: select * from registry$history.
Here is my question: It's now time to apply the CPUJuly2011 and my only doubt is: Is there a problem in applying the CPUJul2011 in the binary and also in the database in this situation? Or would be recomended any other steps? For example:
1. Execute the CPUJan2011 on the dictionary first
2. Then, follow the normal execution of the CPUJuly2011 (Binary + Dictionary)?
Technnically, I don't see any further problems but I would like another opinions.
Thanks in advance,
Pablo

Hi,
Personally, I would apply January 2011 to the dictionary first and then go on to apply July 2011, just to be perfectly safe. The patches are supposed to be cumulative, but this is assuming they are applied correctly and not half way through. Alternatively, you could rollback the January 2011 from binaries and then apply July 2011 in full, but I prefer the first option.

Hi,
Oracle Applications 11.0.3 (Oracle Financials) was implemented in our company and later in 2006 it was upgraded to 11.5.10 (with new implementation of Supply Chain Management Module - INV,OM and PO) and 2 months ago we upgraded it to 11.5.10.2+DB 11gR2.
I've been recommending to upgrade to R12 but the Finance Users are reluctant for an upgrade and of the opinion that the R12 has many bugs and there will be issues after upgrade to R12.
R12.1.x is a stable release that many customers (including Oracle themselves) have upgraded to.
Once of the consultant is of the opinion that its better to re-implement R12 instead of Upgrade. He also tells me that R12 does not have sub-accounting and sub-ledger and trial balance reports in AP.Since I am not a Functional Consultant I could not comment on this.
The Finance modules have been completely re-written and fucntionality had changed for the better. Re-implementation typically costs upto 3 times more than a upgrade. Re-implementation is not necessary if the business model and process have not changed. What are the consultants justifications for doing a re-implementation (other than making more money) ?
Please advice if there are any useful docs which address the upgrade to R12 issues which I can share with our consultant and users.
I am currently going thru +Upgrade Advisor: Oracle E-Business Suite Financials and Projects Upgrade from 11.5.10.2 to 12.1.3 and 12.1.2 [ID 256.1]+

Hidden parameters appears after Oracle 11gR2 upgrade

Platform: HP-UX B.11.31 U ia64

I just came across a similar case: 1 (just one) of our (RAC-) databases has 130-something underscore-parameters set to non-default values.
version is still 11.1.0.7 (e.g. not 11gR2).
All of those hidden parameters seem to be CBO related (list on request).
Weird is: Only one of our (very similar, supposedly same-config) databases have these hidden parameters set.
Colleagues justly wonder: Who, When, What has caused these parameters to be expliclty set for this one system?
Note: we do not have the complete history of this system documented (systems have been managed by 3 different parties already).
It is quite possible they came in with some patch or upgrade (catupgr?) somewhere between 11.1.0.1 and 11.1.0.7, but a confirmation would be nice.
Information welcome.

HT5656 This is all great but for me the "IPv6 Delegated Prefix" field never sticks. After the reboot to apply the settings, it is empty again. I have tried the 6.2 Airport Utility on OS X 10.8.2 and the iOS Airport Utility. Any ideas?

Hi All,
   I had a working IPv6 tunnel with my Airport Express to tunnelbroker.net using the 7.6.1 firmware. After updating to 7.6.3, I have tried many things to get it to work and the only one that works is downgrading from 7.6.3 back to 7.6.1. After seeing this new technical note, it appears that the root of my issue is that I can not get the "IPv6 Delegated Prefix" field to stick - it is always empty after the reboot to apply the settings.
   Any ideas?
     Thanks,
       CraigN

I'm in the same boat with a 3rd Gen AEBS. Only thing I haven't tried is a complete reset and reconfiguration from nothing, which I may wind up doing this afternoon just to rule it out. The best irony of all of this is that tunnelbroker.net is under my responsibility, and I can't validate the new settings paradigm. At least getting back to 7.6.1 is easy enough and everything works fine there.
IPv6 Delegated prefix doesn't get saved when using the format from their example, then a 6to4 address shows up as the local address on the main Internet page, and no RAs are received once the AEBS comes back from a reload. Something's a little off on this release.

Testing after Oracle CPU are applied
