https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/Services/download?type=readme&aru=13769952 1/6

which is available for download from My Oracle Support patch 6880880 by selecting the 11.2.0.0.0 release. For information about OPatch documentation, including any known issues, see My Oracle Support Note 293369.1 OPatch documentation list.

3 Installation
These instructions are for all Oracle Database installations. Section 3.1, "Patch Pre-Installation Instructions" Section 3.2, "Patch Installation Instructions" Section 3.3, "Patch Post-Installation Instructions" Section 3.4, "Patch Post-Installation Instructions for Databases Created or Upgraded after Installation of PSU 11.2.0.1.6 in the Oracle Home"

3.1 Patch Pre-Installation Instructions

Before you install PSU 11.2.0.1.6, perform the following actions to check the environment and to detect and resolve any one-off patch conflicts. 3.1.1 Environments with Grid Infrastructure If you are installing the PSU to an environment that has a Grid Infrastructure home, note the following: Database PSU 11.2.0.1.6 should only be applied to the Database home using the instructions contained in this readme. 11.2.0.1.2 Grid Infrastructure PSU <<Patch 9655006>> should be applied to the Grid Infrastructure home using the readme instructions provided with that patch. 3.1.2 Environments with ASM If you are installing the PSU to an environment that has Automatic Storage Management (ASM), note the following: For Linux x86 and Linux x86-64 platforms, install either (A) the bug fix for 8898852 to the Grid home and the Database PSU patch 12419378 to the Database home, or (B) the Grid Infrastructure PSU patch 9655006. For all other platforms, no action is required. The fix for 8898852 was included in the base 11.2.0.1.0 release. 3.1.3 Environment Checks 1. Ensure that the $PATH definition has the following executables: m k , a , l , and n . ae r d m The location of these executables depends on your operating system. On many operating systems, they are located in / s / c / i , in urcsbn which case you can set your PATH definition as follows: epr PT=PT:urcsbn xot AH$AH/s/c/i 3.1.4 One-off Patch Conflict Detection and Resolution For an introduction to the PSU one-off patch concepts, see "Patch Set Updates Patch Conflict Resolution" in My Oracle Support Note 854428.1 Patch Set Updates for Oracle Products. The fastest and easiest way to determine whether you have one-off patches in the Oracle home that conflict with the PSU, and to get the necessary conflict resolution patches, is to use the Patch Recommendations and Patch Plans features on the Patches & Updates tab in My Oracle Support. These features work in conjunction with the My Oracle Support Configuration Manager. Recorded training sessions on these features can be found in Note 603505.1. However, if you are not using My Oracle Support Patch Plans, follow these steps: 1. Determine whether any currently installed one-off patches conflict with the PSU patch as follows: uzpp2138121<ltom.i ni 1497_10_pafr>zp oac pee CekofitgisOWtDti -haei .1497 pth rrq hcCnlcAantHiheal pBsDr /2138 2. The report will indicate the patches that conflict with PSU 12419378 and the patches for which PSU 12419378 is a superset. Note that Oracle proactively provides PSU 11.2.0.1.6 one-off patches for common conflicts. 3. Use My Oracle Support Note 1061295.1 Patch Set Updates - One-off Patch Conflict Resolution to determine, for each conflicting patch, whether a conflict resolution patch is already available, and if you need to request a new conflict resolution patch or if the conflict may be ignored. 4. When all the one-off patches that you have requested are available at My Oracle Support, proceed with Section 3.2, "Patch Installation Instructions".

3.2 Patch Installation Instructions

Follow these steps: 1. If you are using a Data Guard Physical Standby database, you must install this patch on both the primary database and the physical standby database, as described by My Oracle Support Note 278641.1.
https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/Services/download?type=readme&aru=13769952 2/6

2. Do one of the following, depending on whether this is a RAC environment: If this is a RAC environment, choose one of the patch installation methods provided by OPatch (rolling, all node, or minimum downtime), and shutdown instances and listeners as appropriate for the installation method selected. This PSU patch is rolling RAC installable. Refer to My Oracle Support Note 244241.1 Rolling Patch - OPatch Support for RAC. If this is not a RAC environment, shut down all instances and listeners associated with the Oracle home that you are updating. For more information, see Oracle Database Administrator's Guide. 3. Set your current directory to the directory where the patch is located and then run the OPatch utility by entering the following commands: uzpp2138121<ltom.i ni 1497_10_pafr>zp c 1497 d 2138 oac apy pth pl 4. If there are errors, refer to Section 5, "Known Issues".

3.3 Patch Post-Installation Instructions

After installing the patch, perform the following actions: 1. Apply conflict resolution patches as explained in Section 3.3.1. 2. Load modified SQL files into the database, as explained in Section 3.3.2. 3.3.1 Applying Conflict Resolution Patches Apply the patch conflict resolution one-off patches that were determined to be needed when you performed the steps in Section 3.1.4, "One-off Patch Conflict Detection and Resolution". 3.3.2 Loading Modified SQL Files into the Database The following steps load modified SQL files into the database. For a RAC environment, perform these steps on only one node. 1. For each database instance running on the Oracle home being patched, connect to the database using SQL*Plus. Connect as SYSDBA and run the c t u d e s lscript as follows: abnl.q c $RCEHM/dm/di d OAL_OErbsamn slls/oo qpu nlg SL CNET/A SSB Q> ONC S YDA SL SATP Q> TRU SL @abnl.q puapy Q> ctudesl s pl SL QI Q> UT The c t u d e s lexecution is reflected in the dba_registry_history view by a row associated with bundle series P U abnl.q S. For information about the c t u d e s lscript, see My Oracle Support Note 605795.1 Introduction to Oracle Database catbundle.sql. abnl.q 2. Check the following log files in $ R C E H M / f t o l g / a b n l for any errors: OAL_OEcgolosctude ctudePU<aaaeSD_PL_TMSAP.o abnl_S_dtbs I>APY<IETM>lg ctudePU<aaaeSD_EEAE<IETM>lg abnl_S_dtbs I>GNRT_TMSAP.o where TIMESTAMP is of the form YYYYMMMDD_HH_MM_SS. If there are errors, refer to Section 5, "Known Issues".
