What order to patch up my application server?

Hi,
I'm looking for advice on the pathways by which to patch up my oracle application server. it consists of the following components:
10.1.0.5 Infrastructure database
10.1.4.0.1 Identity Management
10.1.2.0.2 Middle Tier
I would like to be able to perform the critical patches on these components however for all except the database I believe that the versions are too low and may need some intermediate patching first. Can anyone give me the upgrade path - order and patch versions - to apply to these components to bring them all to the level where I can perform the critical patches for April 09?
Thanks
Adam

Hi,
Our infra/identity management was installed along with the metadata repository as part of the 10.1.2.0.2 mid tier installation - is it still necessary to patch it individually or can infra/metadata be patched together as one product?
Thanks

Edited by: Adam J Sawyer on Jun 9, 2009 8:25 PMYour case is called a CoLocated infrastructure architecture with both IdMgmt and MetRep sitting on the same instance.
1. As an instance, they can be patched together. But that means the software upgrade of the instance which holds both of them can be patched together in one shot.
2. However, it does not mean that the Metadata Repository is also upgraded that way. Metadata Repository is upgraded once all instances (all infrastructures and all midtiers both - even if you have multiple ones for them) are already upgraded.
3. And I insist, the Order of application of various steps in this Patch Set is important. (See my previous message and compare with the documentation).
The Software Upgrades have to be applied first on all instances, and Metadata Repository Upgrade must be applied later.
Read the documentation referred to about Patch Set 3 carefully about it.
hope that helps!

10.1.0.5 Patch for Oracle Application Server 10g Release 1

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know what is the patch number for 10.1.0.5 Patch for Oracle Application Server 10g Release 1?
This is a Oracle Application Server and not Oracle Database server.
I tried searching on Metalink but not able to find it.
Thanks in advance!
Avinash.

10.1.0.5 is not a version number for an OAS. It is only a version number for RDBMS.
If you are running OAS 10.1.2.x with the Identity Managmenet/SSO (OID Server), & elected to have it install the Metadata Repository database for you, this was a RDBMS release below 10.1.0.5. The OAS patch to 10.1.2.2 or 10.1.2.3 required the RDMBS be updated to 10.1.0.5 first. This is the standard 10.1.0.5 update for your platform.
use Advanced Search on Metalink
To find the OAS 10.1.2.2 or 10.1.2.3 patch set, search for Oracle Fusion Middleware Server. Release 10.1.2.2 and 10.1.2.3. Look for the decriptions like "PLACEHOLDER BUG FOR AS/DS 10.1.2.3 PATCHSET RELEASE" OR "PLACEHOLDER BUG FOR AS/DS 10G R2 PATCH SET 2 10.1.2.2"
To find the RDBMS 10.1.0.5 patch, search for RDBMS Server, Release 10.1.0.5. Look for the Description containing something like "10.1.0.5 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER"
The patch number is different per platform, so I can't tell you the exact #s without more info (OS)

how to resolve it,help me,thank you!!!

Hi!
I am having exactly the same problem. I'm trying to start the J2sdkee1.3.1 -- I am getting the "Exception in thread main" and when I look in the system.err file, I see that a method of the AnyImpl class is being called but there is "No such method error". I have not yet solved the problem, but I am still trying. Other people in this forum have had the same problem -- it's not clear how they solved it.
I'm running Windows ME. If I solve the problem, I'll let you know.

Webutil not working properly after applying application server patch

How to find versions of application server components to apply patches

Hi,
I have Oracle Application server 10.1.2.0.2 installed in my linux box.
under metalink.oracle.com
1. i read documentation Doc ID: 420061.1 in metalink about patches and i did find one patch# 5922120 for my application middletier.
but when i did a metalink search i did see some patches for my database version which were not critical
so if they are not critical and if my application server is working fine then do i need to apply these patches.
My application server version is 10.1.2.0.2
and my apalication server infrastructure version is 10.1.0.4.2
during my metalink searches i found the following patches which were uner normal priority. they are:
patch numbers: 5127390, 5094712, 5605377
Can someone guide me.
Bottom line is: do i need to apply these patches unless they are critical and they are requred for my applications.
Also i have one more basic question is
How do i find out individual component versions in my application server like Portal, discoverer, EM, EM agent, etc?
Thanks in advance,
Philip.

Philip,
You have a similar environment to ours. We actually have two Oracle environments: 91) 10gDB 10.1.0.5 / 10gAS 9.0.4.3, and (2) 10gDB 10.2.0.3 / 10gAS 10.1.2.0.3.
In regards to what patches, I look at two items: the latest patchset for DB and AS, and the Critical Patch Updates(CPU). Often, the CPU will drive what patchset you will need to be at. For example, with the CPU April 2007, we had to move to patchset 3 for our AS (9.0.4.3) since that is the only 10gAS R1 that Oracle provided CPU patches.
As far as version ID, I have not found one single area to acquire this. For Portal, you can invoke Portal, http://host/pls/portal, logon as 'portal', then Administer, Global Settings, and at the bottom of the page is the version.
For other products like Forms and Discover, you can find the version when the tool is invoked.
Not quite as nice as the DB side where dba_registry will give you all the goodies.

John

What difference between Oracle 9i AS and orion application server?

Hi:
Today I visited some website and read an information that Oracle 9i AS and orion application server are two differece application server.But When I start Oracle 9i AS ,I must use command of "java -jar orion.jar".Are they the same application server? If not ,can you tell me what difference?
Thanks
Best regards,
hyson

Hi Liu,
I'm sure other people will coreect any errors I am about to make
(if I make any :-), but some time ago, Oracle mad a licensing
agreement with a company called IronFlare, regarding IronFlare's
application server product called OrionServer. After that, Oracle
came out with a new product -- Oracle Containers for Java (OC4J)
-- which is based on OrionServer. In the first version (that had
the version number 1.0.2.2), the application server basically came
bundled in the "orion.jar" file, so in order to start up the application
server, you used a command like:
java -jar orion.jar
However, the next version of OC4J (with version number 9.0.2.0.0
[go figure ;-]), contained the "oc4j.jar" file (which replaced
the "orion.jar" file).
So I would say that the first version of OC4J was almost identical
to OrionServer. But I think subsequent versions are becoming more
and more different. Remember that at the same time, OrionServer
is also still being developed. I think the first version of OC4J
was based on version 1.5.2 of OrionServer. The next version of
OrionServer (that should be released soon) is version 1.6.0.
I have no idea how similar the latest version of OrionServer is
to the latest version of OC4J. But if Oracle's history is any
guide, then I would say that, eventually, OC4J and OrionServer
will have very little similarity between them. Just look at the
paths that Oracle's JDeveloper has taken in comparison with Borland's
JBuilder. Originally, JDeveloper was based on JBuilder. Today,
they are two completely different products.
Hope this has helped you.
Good Luck,
Avi.

Patching Oracle Application Server

Hi, I'm trying to patch my Oracle Application Server that's going to be running a PeopleSoft softare installation. I've been having trouble making sure I have all the patches I need. I'm running version 10.1.3.1 of the Oracle Application Server. I downloaded the patches recommended by the PeopleSoft guides and the latest security patch supported by version 10.1.3.1. If your wondering why I'm using such an old version, it's simply because its the latest version the PeopleSoft guiddes certify as supported.
So I have these patches, and I searched on metalink for Oracle Application Server, iAS version 10.1.3.1.0 and there were no other recommended patches. However, I notices the patches I already installed weren't under the list of patches for OAS, not even when I searched under classification any. That's when I realized that the patches that PeopeSoft recommends are listed under Containers for J2EE version 10.1.3.1.0, which is why it wasn't coming up in the search. Now I thought Containers for J2EE were part of the Oracle Application Server, so why don't patches for it show up when I simply search for OAS patches? Is there any was to find all the recommended patches for all software that was installed with OAS? I feel like I may be missing important patches
One wrinkle is that I used the SOA 10.1.3.1.0 CD to install OAS, but I used the option for "J2EE Server and Web Server" without installing the SOA appllications. The only reason I did this was again because this is how the PeopleSoft install guide showed installing OAS.
Thanks

Dont worry about not install the SOA products, because you dont need them, at the end the patches will upgrade only the necesary.
You may try to dowload 10.1.3.4 patch, it include the previus patches and newers.

How to list Ciscoworks patches that installed on server

We have LMS3.2,CS3.3 and RME 4.3.1 on solaris 9 and I want to know what were cisco patches installed on the server in order to install other patches without any problem.

If you are looking to just make your LMS current, the update feature tht's built into CiscoWorks will do that for you. If you're looking for offline verification to download and install patches / updates manually, there's an install.log created whenever an update is performed. It's parsed nicely for you if you just go to the GUI (Reference) by selecting Common Services > Software Center > Software Update.
There is also a compilation of the various CiscoWorks applications and version in this document. It is more recent than the FAQ link posted above.
Hope this helps.

Deploy creator application to oracel application server

hi,
how can I deploy an application created in creator to the oracle application server in order to include it as an oracle portlet i noracel portal
thanks,
IAS

Scott,
I think that this question cannot be answered because nobody knows what your applications are doing and how they are programmed. What does it mean when you say that each application has 100 MB (memory or disk size) ? Also, what is your concern, that the Application Server stops deploying the applications or that it doesn't respond to user requests. If the latter, how many users work with the application, concurrently a the same time?

Sun Java System Application Server Vs Tomcat

Hello
I wonder if someone could explain the benefits that SJSA could provide over Tomcat.
Is Sun Java System Application Server a Web server like Tomcat ? Or it falls under different server category than Web server ?
Thank you
Vajra

This is a complex issue and has caused some strong words in our group as well.
Tomcat is more likened to Sun Web Server. They are both JSP/Servlet containers. Sun Application Server is the full J2EE stack.
For flexibility down the road I'd go with Sun Application Server 9.1 +
- Documentation on tuning is much more straightforward
- Sun Support as an option (if you want that :) )
- Patches deployed for Application Server by Sun
- Http server included in Sun Application Server is much more robust than the Http server in Tomcat.
- Sun Application Server is a full out J2EE server not just a JSP / Servlet container.
- Clustering options very from memory replication to full out HADB (yikes!)
What's good about Tomcat that's not in Sun Application Server?
- Very Lightweight JSP/Servlet container
- Higher degree of familiarity with developers and applications (at this point)
This is probably going to cause a flurry of activity but I'm about to head home so why not throw my 2 cents in.

Well, I think that you might have better luck getting a pointer in this Hyperion forum:

Although I think it's a specialty forum for a certain image, they should be a lot more familiar with it than readers of this WebLogic forum.

This will be my requirement. We have around 6000 terminals, some of terminals giving short dump in server due to non applying of latest GUI patch in the presentation server, requirement is to find what will be patch level of presentation server from application server.
I like to know whether it is possible to find what will be patch level applied in the

Clone Application Server

Hi All
There is an application server and oracle database on same server in same drive in diffrent folder.I wanna clone this structure to diffrent server for test purpose.
I have read http://oraclelon1.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25221_04/core.1013/b25209/cloning.htm
but I didnt understand exactly. do I need install oracle application server and database software into other machine ? paths must equal ? and What is your suggestions ?
Best Regards..

I think this sentence from chapter 9.1 says it all:
"Cloning enables you to create a new installation with all patches applied to it in a single step. This is in contrast to separately installing, configuring and applying any patches to Oracle Application Server."

What order to patch up my application server?
