Problem when apply SAP Bundle Patch for 10.2.0.5

[Former Member]

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:

To all who reply to this thread,

Thanks for the help. I realised that the opatch under $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch was actually version 10.2.0.4.9. I remembered clearly extracting OPatch_10205_Generic_v0.zip to ORACLE_HOME. After removing the OPatch directory and re-extracting, the opatch version is now 10.2.0.5.0.

Present you are using optach version - 10.2.0.4.9

You need to apply Opatch version - 10.2.0.5.0

The latest OPatch I can obtain from SAP is 10.2.0.4.9 for Solaris Sparc 64-bit platform. Why would SAP bundle an earlier version of the OPatch in the SBP knowing that the OPatch cannot be used to apply the patch?

Read this SAP Note

Note 871735 - Current patch set for Oracle 10.2.0

Thanks

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

Hi Fidel,

If you run 'opatch version', the result will show the version as 10.2.0.4.9

Hi,

At the end I had to install it:

/oracle/stage/cosa/OPatch> ./opatch version
========================================================
GENERIC OPATCH VERSION - FOR USE IN SAP ENVIRONMENT ONLY
========================================================
Invoking OPatch 10.2.0.5.0
OPatch Version: 10.2.0.5.0
OPatch succeeded.

As I mentioned, have you download the correct one?

or ar you executing it?

Hi,

Then when you unpacked it where did you put it....? check your environment for the PATH, it's obviousley not in he specified PATH.
