How To Patch Oracle 11g
Apr 19, 2012
I've been told by management this weekend I will be required to perform a complete patch of our Oracle 11g database.
Problem is I really have never installed / patched Oracle. I'm able to access pretty much any database here and interact with it from a SQL stand point so since I'm the only person in my entire office who knows SQL, they decided I can become their full blow DBA.
Currently the database is running a unpatched version:
Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
SQL>
Once I download the latest patch (11.2.0.2.0) files from Oracle & perform a complete backup using RMAN:
RMAN> backup full as compressed backupset database plus archivelog;
How exactly does one properly patch / update Oracle 11g to the latest version?

I am trying to patch 10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.5.I run the runInstaller, it was not successful because it was pointing to a wrong home name and path.Then I changed according to working condition. Then the installation was successful.Then I run the catupgrd.sql. It was also successful with no errors.Then I run utlrp.sql, it was also successful with no error.I did a shutdown and startup.
When I query:
select * from v$version;
It is giving the output as the oldversion as 10.2.0.3

We're thinking of moving from 10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.5 in our production Oracle RAC. The 10.2.0.5 patch is quite new and I was wondering if any of you have upgraded to this patch in any of your environments and if you experienced any issues afterwards?

I have installed Crystal reports server 2008 VI on a Windows 2008 64bit OS. I have added Crystal reports that connects to Oracle database through CMC. I then installed Oracle 10g client 32bit on the server and created and tested the required DSNs using ODBC 32bit. All the testings are successfull.
Now when I try to run my Oracle report through CMC it prompts for the parameters and when I enter them and click ok, gives me the following error: Failed to open the connection. Details: Database Vendor 12154.
I reported the above issue to SAP and they mentioned that this is a bug with Oracle and install the latest patch for my Oracle client software. My current Oracle client 10g 32bit version is: 10.2.0.1.0
I downloaded the patch 4923768 for Oracle client 10g. In the installation instructions, it mentions to apply the patch using OPatch. I already see the OPath folder in the C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1 directory, but I am not sure how to enter the command to apply the patch using OPatch. Do I have to do it using DOS window or any other tool? I don't have an Oracle admin in our company, so I am trying to figure out how to apply this patch on client workstations.

[URL]......
The oracle documents mentions this file
$ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage/<patch-id_timestamp>/restore.sh
But what I find in that directory is
$ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage/<patch-id_timestamp>/rolback.sh
Where is the restore.sh file that the document is talking about.

Yesterday I was installing 11.2.0.2 patch to our Oracle 11gR2(11.2.0.1.0) Two node RAC cluster on OEL 5.4 x86 Linux.Before installing I have read [URL] support note which says "Note: All Oracle Grid Infrastructure patch set upgrades must be out-of-place upgrades, in which you install the patch set into a new Grid home. In-place patch set upgrades are not supported. "
During Installation I found following Installation Option :
1) Install and configure Oracle grid Infrastructure for a cluster
2) Configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server
3) Upgrade Oracle Grid Infrastructure or Oracle Automatic Storage Management
4) Install Oracle Grid Infrastructure Software Only
Which option should I have to choose here ?

Is this the correct forum to ask questions about Oracle CPU's?
I ran the CPU-JUL-2012 on a workstation for version 11.1.0.7, got Return Code 0 and "OPatch Succeeded".
Yet a Retina scan ran after shows no change....?
I've tried reading the availability document, but I have no experience at Oracle patching.

I am using Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0) and I want to apply January patch on 11.2.0.1.0. I have applied 3 patches. I have single Instance with ASM and Grid.
Grid home: /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid
Oracle Home: /opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/db
1. O patch (6880880)
2. Grid patch (9655006)
3. Oracle Patch (10248516)
I have followed the following steps.
1. Applied Opatch on grid.
unzip p6880880_112000_LINUX.zip -d /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid
2. Validated the Oracle Inventory.
/opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/OPatch/opatch lsinventory -detail -oh /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid
3. Shut down the databases.
4. Run the prepatch script
./9655006/custom/server/9655006/custom/scripts/prepatch.sh
5. Shutdown the ASM.
6. Ran the below command to stop CSS etc.
/opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/roothas.pl -unlock
7. Applied grid patch.
/opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/OPatch/opatch napply -oh /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid -id 9655006
8. Applied Opatch on Oracle home
9. Applied Oracle patch
/opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/db/OPatch/opatch napply -oh /opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/db -id 10248516
8. Run the postpatch script
./9655006/custom/server/9655006/custom/scripts/postpatch.sh
9. Run the following script to enable CSS etc.
/opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/roothas.pl -patch
/opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl check has
/opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl check css
10. If CSS is not online ran the below command.
/opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl modify resource "ora.cssd" -attr "AUTO_START=1"
/opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl modify resource "ora.diskmon" -attr "AUTO_START=1"
/opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl stop has
/opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl start has
11. Up the ASM and Databases. Ran the postinstall in GRID and Oracle.
@catbundle.sql psu apply
12. Ran the below command on grid and Oracle.
/opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/OPatch/opatch lsinventory
/opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/db/OPatch/opatch lsinventory
1. Let me know steps which are followed are right because I didnot see the version change after connecting to database? (for example 11.2.0.1.0 after applying I can see 11.2.0.1.4 but not changed the version). How should I know the patch is applied properly?
2. Is the above steps are applicable to HA setup.

I am running a 10g oracle DB on AIX the application running is SAP.
Now I will be applying the following patch
8201796:OPTIMIZER MERGE LABEL REQUEST ON TOP OF 10.2.0.4 FOR SAP (#10)
But I find the following patches are already applied to the system which happens to be included in 8201796
6934892,7228971,7278117.
Do i need to remove the above patches individually before applying 8201796 or will it automatically do the needful during installation.

Quote:Every patch or patch set also has a patch number to identify it
All patch and patch set releases carry version numbers.
For ex : Oracle 10g Release 10.2.0.1, then an available patch set might be 10.2.0.2 , .... , 10.2.4.0 , 10.2.5.0
My QUES is : How can i identify Patch no ? How it is differ from patchsets no ?..

I installed Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 in RH Linux 4.5. After that applied patch for 10.2.0.4.0. Everything went smoothly, but at the last steps I unknowingly clicked next button. I dont know whether some scripts is to be run as I did during installation of 10.1.0.4.0. If it is to be done I didn't do that.
How can I proceed now? If some scripts to be run where is the location? Will it cause any issue if I running it after completing the update?
