Hello Rabah,

Please check the notes bellow, select the one for your version and follow the recommendations:

  1503709 - Oracle 11.2.0: Patches / Patch collections for 11.2.0.2

  1631931 - Oracle 11.2.0: Patches / Patch collections for 11.2.0.3

  1431795 - Oracle 11.2.0: Patches/Patchcollections for 11.2.0.1

This should help you apply the patches correctly.

Best regards,

Hi,

At first make sure you install the lastest Oracle 11g version (that is 11.2.0.3)

service.sap.com/~form/handler?_APP=00200682500000001943&_EVENT=DISPHIER&HEADER=N&FUNCTIONBAR=N&EVENT...

Then install the latest bundle patch (bundle patch 5)

http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000525972012E/p13885389_112030_MSWINx86.zip

Update Opatch to latest version

Important Remark, you will get an error when running Opatch for bundle patch 5.

The wrokarround can be found here :

http://www.dbaportal.eu/?q=node/226

move %ORACLE_HOME%\OPatch\jlib\oracle.opatch.classpath.jar %ORACLE_HOME%\OPatch\jlib\oracle.opatch.classpath1.jar

Apply bundle patch with Opatch

Set SRC=C:\Sources\Ora_patch

Set PATCH=13885389

cd /d %SRC%\%PATCH%

%ORACLE_HOME%\opatch\opatch apply

Then install all the generic patch that are available (as now 8 are available)

Download all the zip files to the same dir (here Generic_patch) and apply them.

Some of them might cause conflict, just ignore them.

Cd /d %SRC%\Generic_patch

%ORACLE_HOME%\opatch\Opatch napply %SRC%\Generic_patch

Move back the files that should be locked by Opatch

move %ORACLE_HOME%\OPatch\jlib\oracle.opatch.classpath1.jar %ORACLE_HOME%\OPatch\jlib\oracle.opatch.classpath.jar

And then you're done 😉

there's readme file inside the bundles file, go thru it and you'll know what to do. Basically, you need to download latest Opatch, unzip it in $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch and apply the patches using OPatch.
