Patching Process In Oracle

Create a folder for patch

[oracle@node1 ~]$ mkdir -p /data/patch

2 . By Winscp move the patch zip file to /data/patch this location. 3. Now check the current opatch version.

[oracle@node1 ~]$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch version
OPatch Version: 12.2.0.1.17
OPatch succeeded.

#if the opatch version is old , then you have to replace it with the latest version. here it is 12.2.0.1.17. so let’s upgrade it.

[oracle@node1 ~]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME
[oracle@node1 dbhome_3]$
[oracle@node1 dbhome_3]$
[oracle@node1 dbhome_3]$ mv OPatch/ OPatch_old

Now unzip the zip file to ORACLE_HOME LOCATION.

[oracle@node1 ~]$ cd /data/patch
[oracle@node1 patch]$
[oracle@node1 patch]$
[oracle@node1 patch]$ ll

Now again check the opatch verion :

[oracle@node1 patch]$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch version
OPatch Version: 12.2.0.1.29
OPatch succeeded.
[oracle@node1 patch]$

#now its 12.2.0.1.29

Now unzip p33509923_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip to same location.

[oracle@node1 patch]$ ll

[oracle@node1 patch]$

now give all permissions to patch

[oracle@node1 patch]$ cd ..
[oracle@node1 data]$ chmod -R 777 patch/

8. Check Conflicts

[oracle@node1 data]$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -phBaseDir /data/patch/33509923/33515361

these 2 lines in it .

[oracle@node1 data]$ cd
[oracle@node1 ~]$
[oracle@node1 ~]$ vi /tmp/patch_list_gihome.txt

now check whether there is any systemspace issue
