Steps to Apply PSU patch on oracle 11g database (2024)

Below are the steps for applying quarterly PSU patch on Oracle 11g database.

1. Download the patch from Oracle support portal.

2. Validate patch version:

opatch utility is used to apply patches to the database. So before applying patch, we need to check whether the existing opatch version is supported for the patch or not.

So refer the readme file of the patch for the minimum supported version.

As per patch read me file:

1.2.1 OPatch Utility
You must use the OPatch utility version 11.2.0.3.6 or later to apply this patch. Oracle recommends that you use the latest released OPatch version for 11.2, 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 Document 293369.1 OPatch documentation list.

So for this patch , the opatch version should be 11.2.0.3.6 or later.

Lets check the existing opatch version in database.

echo $ORACLE_HOME/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch versionOPatch Version: 11.2.0.3.4OPatch succeeded.

Existing version is 11.2.0.3.4, lower than the required one. So we need to install the required opatch utility.

INSTALLING OPATCH UTILITY:

Download opatch utillty from oracle support linke – 6880880

copy the zip to ORACLE_HOME.

$ cp p6880880_112000_Linux-x86-64.zip $ORACLE_HOME/

Remove the existing OPatch directory

cd $ORACLE_HOMErm –rf OPatch

Unzip the zip file.

unzip p6880880_112000_Linux-x86-64.zip

Now check the opatch version

$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch versionOPatch Version: 11.2.0.3.19OPatch succeeded.

We have installed opatch utility successfully.

Now let’s proceed with PSU patch installation.

INSTALLING PSU PATCH

Copy and unzip the PATCH ZIP FILE:

unzip p27734982_112040_Linux-x86-64.zipls -ltrtotal 243220drwxr-xr-x 21 oracle oinstall 4096 May 31 12:49 27734982-rw-rw-r-- 1 oracle oinstall 93035 Jul 17 13:15 PatchSearch.xml-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 140724601 Oct 8 09:17 p27734982_112040_Linux-x86-64.zip

Check for conflict again ORACLE_HOME.

Shutdown database and listener.
