BI cont 3.53 Patches

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

We are going for a fresh installtion of SAP-BW on linux RHEL 4 32 bit,Oracle 10.2.0.2 and Kernel 6.40, BI cont 3.53,we have found patch 14 is the latest patch for BI cont....now the problem is we are not able to decide if we shud go with the latest one i.e patch 14 or shud we go for all the 14 patches....i.e install patch 1,thn patch2,patch3...............patch 13&patch 14. If this is the case is thr any option of putting all the patches in a tool n exceute it like we do Oracle patches using MOpatcg. Pls suggest.

Thanks for your valuable time,

Bob

Don´t mix up things here.

First, install the latest Oracle patchset (10.2.0.2) and then all subsequent Oracle patches (30+ single patches).

Then check your actual support level status after installation with "System - Status - Component version". You need to download and install ALL between your actual version and the newest one.

If you install e. g. an SR1 release, SP9 is contained so you need to download SP10 - SP14 (SAP_BW).

You can use MOPatch only on new installations,means, if you just installed the database software. On a already running system you need to install them one-by-one.

This is Oracle...

Check

Note 027012 - MOPatch - Install Multiple Oracle Patches in One Run

There you will find a step-by-step guide where to put patches and what to execute. Follow it really attentively, otherwise it may fail.

Good luck!

Hi Bob,

just put the patches in a directory read/writable by ora<sid>, do not unzip them, and run MOPatch from that directory.

Best regards,
