Install the latest patch set for Oracle 10.2.0.4.0

[Former Member]

I install SAP PI 7.1 EHP1 on Windows Server 2008 (RC1).

I already installed Oracle DB software 10.2.0.4.0

Now I would like to install the latest set for Oracle 10.2.0.4.0

I downloaded the following files from Service Marketplace:

- p8559467_10204_MS_WINX8664.zip

-p7592030_10204_WIN_GENERIC.zip

- Opatch_10204_Generic_v5.zip

- and 3 Patchset files (Patchset_10204MSWINX8664aa.bin, Patchset_10204MSWINX8664ab.bin, Patchset_10204MSWINX8664ac.bin )

Question:

1) What is the procedure/order to install the patch set?

2) Where (in which directory) should I put the 3 Patchset files and which commando should be used here (opathc apply)?

Thank you!

Hi Holger,

For patchset installation , you have to first combine three bin files to make one zip file. Then unzip that zip file and from run installer command then you can install the patchset.

Thanks

That one is for updates 10.2.0.<4 to 10.2.0.4. Since you are already on 10.2.0.4 that one is no more necessary.

See Note 1137346 - Oracle 10.2.0: Patches/patch collections for Oracle 10.2.0.4

Basically you will

- patch Opatch

- unzip the patch to a directory where <sid>adm has access

- stop all Oracle Services

- then execute opatch apply

Many thanks!

> patch Opatch

The question here is how to patch Opatch?

1) to unzip the file Opatch_10204_Generic_v5.zip

2) backup the directory %Oracle_HOEME%/Opatch

3) Overwrite the directory %Oracle_HOEME%/Opatch with unzipped directory Opatch_10204_Generic_v5.zip

Is it right?

> unzip the patch to a directory where <sid>adm has access

Here I have 2 files:

p8559467_10204_MS_WINX8664.zip and p7592030_10204_WIN_GENERIC.zip

Do I need to unzip these 2 files and put these together?

Other question:

What are the post processing steps after patch installation?

Did you read the note I posted?

Yes, but my questions will not be answered there.

The problem is that there are several files, but there is no descrtion how to proceed (merge files, etc.)

Those patches are not merged, they must be installed separately.

If you check the readme in the patch number subdirectory it tells you what you have to do to install.
