Hi,

1) to install to 10.2.0.5 you do not need Opatch

2) Neverthless, it is recommended that you install the latest SBP (look at note 1431752)

3) SBP are installed with "MOPatch" which calls "Opatch", so indirectly you will be using it if you install any SBP

4) this installation will fail if you do not have a recent version

Resuming, download and install the latest MOPatch and OPatch.

It does not take time (simply unzip the files on the correct directory)

Hi Fidel,

Thank you replying,

I have download SBP Files,

SAP_102053_201105_HPUXIA64.zip

SAP_102053_201106_HPUXIA64.zip

When i unziped the files in noticed there is MOpatch and Opatch comes with these files.

I assume I am supposed to use MOpatch and Opatch to apply these SBPs.

Hi,

Before you do anything I'd advise you to read ALL related notes.

You have downloaded 2 SBP, they are cumulative, therefore you do not need them.

The note about MOPatch indicates you how to install the patches

I already mentioned you that the SBP is installed with the Mopatch tool and note 1431752 gives you an explanation on how to do it.

You do NOT unzip the files that you download, MOPatch works with the zipped file:

1. Call the following path of the SAP Software Distribution Center:

http://service.sap.com/oracle-download

-> Database Patches -> Oracle -> Oracle 10.2.0.5

2. Open the platform directory and download the SAP Bundle Patch file

SAP_<Release>_<Date>_<Platform>.zip, the SBP README

README_<Date>_<Platform>.htm, and the SBP patch history

BUGSFIXED_<Date>_<Platform>.htm to your database server.

3. Use MOPatch (SAP note 1027012) to install the SAP bundle patch in

accordance with the instructions in the SBP README. When you do

this, pay particular attention to the patch-specific installation

instructions.

You download the latest OPatch and MOPatch from

http://service.sap.com/oracle-download

-> Database Patches -> Oracle -> Oracle 10.2.0.5 -> Opatch

Please, READ and think before you do anything.

SAP Notes and documentation are there for something.

hi

i did up to

1. Cleanly shut down all processes running from the ORACLE_HOME.

2. Set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to the correct Oracle home that needs to be patched.

3. > set ORACLE_HOME=<Oracle Home Path>

4. Go to the directory where you downloaded the patch:

5. > cd 12328269

6. Ensure that the directory containing the OPatch script appears in your PATH setting. Enter the following command to run OPatch:

7. > opatch apply

but i am getting error

'opatch' is not recognized as an internal or external command

operable program or batch file.

It seems you did not ensure that the directory containing the OPatch script appears in your PATH setting.

Please double check!

It is all in the installation guide and readme files that come with the software. Please read them carefully!

Please do not expect me to read it for you.

By the way, you were talking about an upgrade from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.5. Opatch will be one of the last steps here. From what you wrote I am not sure whether you performed the previous steps.

Once again: Please read the guides yourself.

hope this helps
