Introduction:
This post has been written on request of one of regular visitor of my blog (Altaaf). This post is all about Oracle Patching Utility (OPATCH) and various options that can be used along with Opatch.
We will begin the discussion by knowing what exactly is Opatch?
- OPatch is a java based utility that allow the application and rolling back of interim patches to an Oracle product. The program has sub-commands that may take arguments. The program requires java(JVM) to be present on the current system.OPatch expects users to have commands such as fuser, jar, ar and make on Unix platforms and jar on Windows platforms to be available in their PATH.
Opatch Details
How to check the Opatch version?
-bash-3.00$ ./opatch version
Invoking OPatch 10.2.0.3.0
OPatch Version: 10.2.0.3.0
OPatch succeeded.
How to know which version is the correct version of Opatch for your RDBMS home?
You can verify whether the Opatch version for your RDBMS release is correct or not using metalink note ID 357221.1.
This note ID gives the copatibilities between OPatch version and RDBMS version.
How to get the latest version of OPatch?
You can download the latest version of OPatch from metalink using following URL.
http://updates.oracle.com/download/6880880.html
In the release dropdown you can select the OPatch release that you want to download based on your RDBMS version. Please read the README.txt before applying the patch.
What is Oracle Database Inventory and where it is located?
Oracle Inventory is the location or the place where all the information about an Oracle Home is stored and maintained. When ever we install an RDBMS Oracle Home, a new inventory gets created. Applying any new patch to Oracle Home will update the invnrtory for that Oracle Home and record the details for the patch applied. This inventory is in the form of XML files.
The location of inventory is defined in a file called oraInst.loc. The path for this file is provided while installing Oracle Home. If we dont supply any path, the is file will be present at central location /etc/oraInst.loc. Also we can have a central inventory if its not used by any other oracle installation. If the central inventory is used by previous Oracle installation we can create local inventory. The content of oraInst.loc file is as shown below.
-bash-3.00$ cd $ORACLE_HOME
-bash-3.00$ cat oraInst.loc
inventory_loc=/slot/ems2029/appmgr/apps/tech_st/10.1.2/oraInventory
inst_group=ems2029
-bash-3.00$
Here “inventory_loc” gives the location of Inventory directory where as inst_group gives the name of the group which is the owner of this inventory.
How to create Local Inventory?
You can create local inventory at any location while installing Oracle Home. You need to use -invPtrLoc variable along with runInstaller command and give the location of oraInst.loc. Otherwise the default path assumed for oraInst.loc is /etc/oraInst.loc.
./runInstaller -invPtrLoc /slot/ems2029/appmgr/apps/tech_st/10.1.2/oraInst.loc
After the installation starts it will ask for location of oraInventory directory and group which should own it. It will make entry of these into oraInst.loc file.
Having know the above information about opatch, now we will move to details about using opatch and various options available.
Opatch help
You can get all the options using opatch -help
-bash-3.00$ ./opatch -help
Invoking OPatch 11.1.0.6.0
Oracle Interim Patch Installer version 11.1.0.6.0
Copyright (c) 2007, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
Usage: opatch [ -help ] [ -r[eport] ] [ command ]
command := apply
lsinventory
prereq
query
rollback
util
version
:= -help Displays the help message for the command.
-report Print the actions without executing.
example:
‘opatch -help’
‘opatch apply -help’
‘opatch lsinventory -help’
‘opatch prereq -help’
‘opatch rollback -help’
‘opatch util -help’
OPatch succeeded.
You can get specific help for any command of opatch using opatch -help. Example opatch apply -help.
Applying single patch using opatch
1. You MUST read the Readme.txt file included in opatch file, look for any prereq. steps/ post installation steps or and DB related changes. Also, make sure that you have the correct opatch version required by this patch.
2.Make sure you have a good backup of database.
3. Make a note of all Invalid objects in the database prior to the patch.
4. Shutdown All the Oracle Processes running from that Oracle Home , including the Listener and Database instance, Management agent etc.
5. You MUST Backup your oracle Home and Inventory
tar cvf - $ORACLE_HOME $ORACLE_HOME/oraInventory | gzip > Backup_Software_Version.tar.gz
6. Unzip the patch in $ORACLE_HOME/patches
If you are applying a single intrim patch to oracle home, then change the location to the directory of that patch and then invoke following command.
Example if I need to apply patch 6972343 to RDBMS Oracle Home
-bash-3.00$ cd 6972343
-bash-3.00$ pwd
/slot/ems2029/oracle/db/tech_st/11.1.0/patches/6972343
-bash-3.00$ ls
etc files README.txt
$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch apply
If you have created local inventory then you need to give the correct path for local inventory stored in oraInst.loc. If you have updated /etc/oraInst.loc with correct location of your inventory, then above command will work, If not you can give the correct location by giving local oraInst.loc file.
$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch apply -invPtrLoc /slot/ems2029/oracle/db/tech_st/11.1.0/oraInst.loc
Remember that when we are applying patch, patch number is NOT provided as an input to opatch command. So we have to to be in the directory of patch since opatch will pick the patch files from current directory.
Rolling back a patch
In case if a patch did not fix the issue or if you has applied wrong patch to oracle home, you can always rollback the patch using following comamnd.
opatch rollback -id
Applying bundle patches
Some times if you have to apply bundle patch having many patches, example lets say you want to a bundle patch 6778860 ( 11.1.0.6 BUNDLED PATCH FOR EBS 11I)) containing many other patches to RDBMS home, OPatch provides a facility to apply many patches to RDBMS home using a single comamnd. Following command should be used for applying bundle patches.
Download the patch and extract the same. You will see many directories (one for each patch) inside the main patch directory. Execute following command to apply all patches.
$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch util NApply -invPtrLoc /slot/ems2029/oracle/db/tech_st/11.1.0/oraInst.loc
NApply -> Will apply all patches to RDBMS home.
You can also use -phBaseDir to point to the directory where bundle patch is installed. So you can run opatch command from any location
$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch util NApply -phBaseDir /slot/ems2029/oracle/db/tech_st/11.1.0/patches/6778860 -invPtrLoc /slot/ems2029/oracle/db/tech_st/11.1.0/oraInst.loc
You can also apply specific patches using NApply
opatch util napply -id 1,2,3 -skip_subset -skip_duplicate
This will apply patches 1, 2, and 3 which are under < the patch_location> directory. OPatch will skip duplicate patches and subset patches (patches under that are subsets of patches installed in the ORACLE_HOME)
You can see all the options for NApply using following help command.
$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch util NApply -help
Query the inventory for patches applied
We can query the inventory to check various components installed for database as well as to check various patches applied to database. Use following command to get a minimum information from inventory about patches applied and components installed.
$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory -invPtrLoc /slot/ems2029/oracle/db/tech_st/11.1.0/oraInst.loc
Patch 5763576 : applied on Wed May 28 03:20:53 PDT 2008

Opatch Log files
Log file for Opatch utility can be found at $ORACLE_HOME/cfgtoollogs/opatch
Advanced Option for OPatch
Here are some of the advanced options of OPatch utility.
UpdateRemoteNodes
It is used to propagate/remove files/directories to/from remote nodes using files under ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage//rac/*.
The directories listed in copy_dirs.txt will be copied to remote nodes.
The files listed in copy_files.txt wil be copied to remote nodes.
The directories listed in remove_dirs.txt will be deleted from remote nodes.
The files listed in remove_files.txt will be deleted from remote nodes.
This is used where RAC setup is present.
Cleanup
It is used to clean up ‘restore.sh, make.txt’ files and ‘rac, scratch, backup’ directories in the ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage directory. If -ps option is used, then it cleans the above specified areas only for that patch, else for all patches under ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage. You will be still able to rollback patches after this cleanup.
Example: opatch util cleanup -ps 6121183_Ju _21_2007_04_19_42
CopyListedFiles
It is used to copy all files listed in ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage//rac/copy_files.txt to remote nodes. If -fp option is used, then one can specify the path of the file containing the list of files to be copied. The files mentioned in this file will be copied to the remote nodes.
Example: opatch util copylistedfiles -fp a -remote_nodes ceintcb-a5
This is used where RAC setup is present.
CopyListedFilesTest
It is used to copy a single file to remote nodes. The usage remains the same as CopyListedFiles.
Example: opatch util copylistedfilestest -fp /home/oracle/a -remote_nodes ceintcb-a5
This is used where RAC setup is present.
CopyListedDirs
It is used to recursively copy all directories listed in ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage//rac/copy_dirs.txt to remote nodes. If -dp option is used, then one can specify the path of the file containing the list of directories to be copied. The directories mentioned in this file will be copied to the remote nodes.
This is used where RAC setup is present.
CopyListedDirsTest
It is used to copy a single file to remote nodes. The usage remains the same as CopyListedDirs.
This is used where RAC setup is present.
RemoveListedFiles
It is used to remove files listed in ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage//rac/remove_files.txt on remote nodes. If -fr option is used, then one can specify the path of the file containing the list of files to be removed. The files mentioned in this file will be removed from the remote nodes.
This is used where RAC setup is present.
RemoveListedFilesTest
It is used to remove a single file from remote nodes. The usage remains the same as RemoveListedFiles.
This is used where RAC setup is present.
RemoveListedDirs
It is used to recursively remove directories listed in ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage//rac/remove_dirs.txt from remote nodes. If -dr option is used, then one can specify the path of the file containing the list of directories to be removed. The directories mentioned in this file will be removed from the remote nodes.
This is used where RAC setup is present.
RemoveListedDirsTest
It is used to remove a single directory from remote nodes. The usage remains the same as RemoveListedDirs.
This is used where RAC setup is present.
RunLocalMake
It is used to invoke re-link on the local node. The make commands are stored in ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage//make.txt. You need to use the -ps option to specify the Patch ID with timestamp. A directory by this name will be present under ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage. The make.txt file present under ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage// will be used to perform the local make operation. This command cannot be run if you have already run Cleanup as it would have removed these make.txt files.
Example: opatch util runlocalmake -ps 6121250_ un_21_2007_04_16_11
RunRemoteMake
It is used to invoke re-link on remote nodes. The make commands are stored in
ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage//rac/makes_cmd.txt. The usage remains the same as RunLocalMake.
This is used where RAC setup is present.
RunAnyCommand
It is used to run any command on remote nodes. The command should be specified using the -cmd option.
Example: opatch util runanycommand -remote_nodes ceintcb-a5 -cmd ls
This is used where RAC setup is present.
LoadXML
It is used to check the validity of an XML file. The -xmlInput option can be used to specify the path of the xml file.
@ Support can use this utility to verify the integrity of XML files contained in the local and central inventory.
Example: opatch util loadxml -xmlInput $ORACLE_HOME/inventory/ContentsXML/comps.xml
Verify
It is used to run the patch verification process to ensure that the patch was applied to the ORACLE_HOME. It uses the defined ORACLE_HOME and the given patch location via -ph, to run the check.
@ Support can use this utility to re-run the OPatch verification stage, if required for patch diagnosis. The patch staging area has to be present or created.
Example: opatch util verify -ph ~/6646853/6121183
Troubleshooting
Some times the inventory get corrupted because of some issues. In that case you need to repair the inventory. Following are the two methods which I know can be used to repair the inventory.
1) Development has released a utility (checkinv) which can be use to repair the inventory if it becomes corrupted for some reason.
Please note that this version of checkinv works only for 9.2 and 10.1 releases of oracle database. This doesn’t work for 10.2 releases of oracle database.
You can download the checkinv utility from Patch 4121946.
To cleanup the components, you should determine the unwanted or dangling components, then specify those using the option “-remcomp”, to cleanup the component list.
The utility detects and asks user’s permission to repair a bad inventory. In case you want to repair the inventory, the utility will first back up the files before any modification.
However, it is better that you backup the inventory before running the tool.
For more details, check metalink note ID 298906.1
2) Creating a new inventory using Oracle Universal Installer (OUI).

NFS Mounting on Linux
NFS mounting on Linux
Most often it is required to do a NFS mount of your disks across different servers. This particularly useful for doing Applications Installations and Patching. There are two aspects of configuration involved here. One is the sever that is the which is sharing the file system and the other is client which the host that is mounting the shared file system.
Supposing you want to mount a u01/hemanth on Node_A to Node_B
Configurations on Node_A
edit the /etc/exports file
vi /etc/exports
add the filesystem to mount
/u01/sam ro Node_B
you can either use the option ro which means read only or in case you wish to allow node_b to write into the filesystem use the rw option which is read writeable.
The change in exports file takes effect only after the restart of your NFS service daemon. use the service command to do that.
# service nfs restart
Shutting down NFS mountd: [ OK ]
Shutting down NFS daemon: [ OK ]
Shutting down NFS quotas: [ OK ]
Shutting down NFS services: [ OK ]
Starting NFS services: [ OK ]
Starting NFS quotas: [ OK ]
Starting NFS daemon: [ OK ]
Starting NFS mountd: [ OK ]
Configuration for Node_B
On Node_B simply create the mount point to hold the shared file system and mount it using the mount command.
#mkdir hemanth
#mount -t nfs Node_A:/u01/hemanth /hemanth

Setting Kernel Parameters
Most oracle products require certain kernel parameters to be set as a pre requisite for installation. Common kernel parameters include parameters for shared memory .
The /etc/sysctl.conf file takes care of your kernel parameters.
#vi /etc/sysctl.conf
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 128
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
However changes made to this file take effect only after the next reboot.
The sysctl command can be used to set the kernel parameter at runtime in linux.
sysctl -p
sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=2147483648

Setting Kernel Parameters
Most oracle products require certain kernel parameters to be set as a pre requisite for installation. Common kernel parameters include parameters for shared memory .
The /etc/sysctl.conf file takes care of your kernel parameters.
#vi /etc/sysctl.conf
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 128
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
However changes made to this file take effect only after the next reboot.
The sysctl command can be used to set the kernel parameter at runtime in linux.
sysctl -p
sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=2147483648

#m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf
8. Restart sendmail Service
#service sendmail restart
9. Check whether mails are going
#mailx -s “Test Mail” mailid@gmail.com
Test message
.
CC .
Check the log file
#tail –f /var/log/maillog
Now we can able to use this smtp relay with other application
Note:
Give smtp server name as “ localhost “ and Port 25 . it will work with localhost name only.
In Oracle Applications - We can use this . In OAM workflow mailer configuration give outbound server name “localhost” .
Then you can receive workflow notification mails, alert mails and all Apps related mails.
