ORACLE ENTERPRISE LINUX 5.5

Download the patch 13742915  here.

Check the README file before proceeding and do the necessary backups required.

 Step 1: Check your current version of OBIEE 11g from the HELP> ABOUT in the dashboard screen.

Step 2: Download the patch for you Operating system from here

.The file will be in a zip format. Unzip the file and check the README file for instructions.

Step 3: We will be applying this patch using OPatch .

For this you should have the ORACLE_HOME environment variable set in the LINUX.

This can be set from the .bash_profile file in the /home/oracle 

The variables are as below:

TMP=/tmp; export TMP

TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR

ORACLE_BASE=/home/oracle/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE
MW_HOME=/FMW; export MW_HOME

ORACLE_HOME=$MW_HOME/Oracle_BI1; export ORACLE_HOME

ORACLE_SID=orcl; export ORACLE_SID
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/sbin export PATH
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH




Step 4: Copy the unziped patch folder to the ORACLE_HOME directory.

ie to the /FMW/Oracle_BI1

Step 5: Check the version of the opatch.


from the terminal , oracle user execute the following command

opatch version

(if not working navigate to the /FMW/Oracle_BI1/13742914 and execute the above command)




Step 6: Make sure everything is working fine and ready to be installed.

execute the following command from the patch folder path

opatch lsinv -jre $ORACLE_HOME/jdk
                          or
opatch lsinv -jre /FMW/Oracle_BI1/jdk

This should return the patch details and there should be NO ERROR messages

Step 7 :Bring Down the OPMN services

$FMW/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl stopall

Step 8: Install patch

GOTO the ORACLE_HOME and into directory 13742915 AND RUN COMMAND below.

opatch apply -jre $ORACLE_HOME/Oracle_BI1/jdk

Click Y when prompted.

Step 9: After the Opatch is successfully completed , check the version.txt file in your ORACLE_HOME.

This should now have  the updated version listed.

Step 10: Restart the OPMN services. (Reboot of the SERVER machine is recommended)

  

Step 11: Verify the updated version in the dashboard

If you find any issues while using the OPatch and want to revert to UNDO the patch then

Run OPatch to deinstall the patch.

   Run the following command:


   $opatch rollback -id  13742915  -jre $ORACLE_HOME/jdk/jre

verify the version.txt file

So now you have applied the patch and ready to use

Enjoy,
