How to Apply Oracle Bundle Patch

Download the dump from SAP service market place to your system.

1.PRE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Copy the dumps of patch at below mentioned path.

Drive/oracle/"SID"/"oracle version"/OPatch

Stop SAP & DB along with all services of SAP & DB.

Back up the current database that is installed, the %ORACLE_HOME% directory and

Oracle inventory under c:\Program files\oracle directory. (This will help if there are

problems applying the patch, and to restore the Inventory in case of an issue with thepatch.)

Now apply bundle patch.

OPatch>opatch apply patch no

Installation may be interrupted coz. of error in overwriting an existing .dll file giving

following error file already in use.

In case of above error dont rename the file and RETRY(It doesnt work) instead cancel the

installation then and there rename the .dll file and start patch application again.

3. POST INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Start all services of DB & DB

Inspect the logfile %ORACLE_HOME%\Bundle\Patch17\Apply__.log for any errors.

If catcpu.sql reports any Invalid Objects, compile the invalid objects as follows.

sqlplus /nolog

SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA

SQL> @%ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms\admin\utlprp.sql 0

Above script will compile the invalid objects.

To check for any invalid objects still there or not, execute the following statement:

SQL> SELECT OBJECT_NAME FROM DBA_OBJECTS WHERE STATUS = 'INVALID';

Recompiling Views in the Database

To recompile the views for each database instance running out of the ORACLE_HOME being

patched , follow these steps:

Run the pre-check script, which reports the maximum number of views and objects that

may be recompiled:

sqlplus /nolog

SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA

SQL> @%ORACLE_HOME%\Bundle\view_recompile\ recompile_precheck_jan2009cpu.sql

SQL> QUIT

Run the view recompilation script. Note that this script is run with the database in upgrade

mode, which restricts connections as SYSDBA.

sqlplus /nolog

SQL> SHUTDOWN

SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA

SQL> STARTUP UPGRADE

SQL>@%ORACLE_HOME%\Bundle\view_recompile\

view_recompile_jan2008cpu.sql

SQL> SHUTDOWN;

SQL> STARTUP;

Check the log file for any errors. The log file is in the current directory and is named:

vcomp__.log

If any invalid objects were reported, run the utlrp.sql script as follows:

sqlplus /nolog

SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA

SQL> @%ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms\admin\utlrp.sql

If still any invalid objects are there then recompile those manually.

SQL> alter schemaname. compile;

Verify that the view recompilation has been performed for the database, by executing thefollowing statement:

SELECT * FROM registry$history where ID = '6452863';
