PATCHING
SECTION-I :Oracle Database Patch Set 10.2.0.4.4
1.adl0905:/home/oracle> cd /u03/app/oracle/backup
2.adl0905:/u03/app/oracle/backup> unzip p9352164_10204_Solaris-64.zip
3.adl0905:/u03/app/oracle/backup> cd 9352164
4.One-off Patch Conflict Detection and Resolution:
opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -phBaseDir ./9352164 [not sure about this step.]
5.adl0905:/u03/app/oracle/backup/9352164>./$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch apply
6.adl0905:/u03/app/oracle/backup/9352164>sh psu_root.sh [involve UNIX Team to execute this script with root
privilege]
7.Loading Modified SQL Files into the Database:

adl0905:/u03/app/oracle/backup/9352164>cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
adl0905:/u03/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/rdbms/admin>. oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [MITXHLPD] ? BSMXWBPD
adl0905:/u03/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/rdbms/admin> sqlplus '/as sysdba'
SQL>startup
SQL>@catbundle.sql psu apply
SQL>@utlrp.sql
SQL>exit
adl0905:/u03/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/rdbms/admin>cd $ORACLE_HOME/cfgtoollogs/catbundle
Check the following log files for errors.
catbundle_PSU_BPIXWBPD_APPLY_<TIMESTAMP>.log
catbundle_PSU_BPIXWBPD_GENERATE_<TIMESTAMP>.log
Follow the same steps for BPIXWBPD.
8.Recompiling Views in the Database:
Run the pre-check script, which reports the maximum number of views and objects that may be recompiled:
adl0905:/u03/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/rdbms/admin> cd $ORACLE_HOME/cpu/view_recompile
adl0905:/u03/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/cpu/view_recompile>. oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [MITXHLPD] ? BSMXWBPD
adl0905:/u03/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/cpu/view_recompile> sqlplus '/as sysdba'
SQL>@recompile_precheck_jan2008cpu.sql --It will help you to determine whether view recompilation should be
done now or later.
SQL>shutdown immediate
SQL>startup upgrade
SQL>@view_recompile_jan2008cpu.sql --view recompilation script
SQL>shutdown immediate
SQL>startup
SQL>exit
If you want to check whether view recompilation has already been performed for the database,
execute the following statement:
SELECT * FROM registry$history where ID = '6452863';
If the view recompilation has been performed, this statement returns one or more rows. If the view
recompilation has not been performed, this statement returns no rows.

Follow the same steps for BPIXWBPD.

SECTION II: Oracle Database Patch Set 10.2.0.4.6
Follow the same steps mentioned in SECTION I.
Final check:
select ACTION_TIME,COMMENTS,version,id,BUNDLE_SERIES from registry$history;
