Rollback and De-Installation of Patches: It’s safe to backup entire database server (including ORACLE_HOME and Database files) before patches are installed for the purpose of restoring the database.

However, there is a second option available, rollback scripts are created for each patch install when applied using Oracle OPatch Utility, hence a patch (or a patch-set) can be rolled back using them. During the patch install, rollback scripts are automatically created at "%ORACLE_HOME%\.patch_storage\<patch_id>\" folder in the name "rollback_<patch_id>.cmd". Patch De-Installation instructions are available at the bottom of each respective README.txt (or README.html if available) files.

There was no requirement for patch rollback when installed, hence steps for rolling back a patch is not included in this document.

Patch Install Verification:Verify the log file "Apply_<patch_id>_<timestamp>.log" created at "%ORACLE_HOME%\.patch_storage\<patch_id>\ for any errors after every OPatch install. Also check %ORACLE_HOME%\cpu\CPUJan2007Apply_<ORACLE_SID>_<timestamp>.log after running "catcpu.sql" script for patch 5654905.

Part 1 - Install DST Patches in Oracle 9.2.0.7 Database Server

1. Software and Utility Requirement: Oracle DST Patches are applied using an Oracle Patch utility called OPatch. It requires Perl 5.005_03 or higher and JDK versions of 1.3.1 or higher.

Note: Java, OPatch and Perl that were already present in Database Server may not include all the required files for DST patches. Hence download and reinstall all the three once again to successfully install the DST patches.

1.1. JAVA: Download and install JAVA from below Sun website and set PATH accordingly:-

J2SDK - http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html

C:\j2sdk1.4.2_13\bin>java -version
java version "1.4.2_13"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_13-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_13-b06, mixed mode

In Database Server, it is installed in "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_13", include its "bin" folder in "Path" environment variable [refer section 1.4].

1.2. Perl - Download Perl using Oracle Interim Patch # 2417994 and install it as per instructions provided in the README.txt file.

Log into "metalink.oracle.com" -> "Patch & Updates" -> "Simple Search" and provide "2417994" as patch number, Select "Microsoft Windows (32 bit)" as platform and click "Go". Download the 9.2.0.1 release, downloaded file name would be "p2417872_9201_WINNT.zip". [Or use below link to download]

http://updates.oracle.com/ARULink/Download/process_form/p2417872_9201_WINNT.zip?file_id=536569&aru=2430176

In Database Server, Perl is installed in "C:\perl", include its "..\bin\MSWin32-x86" folder in "Path" environment variable [refer section 1.4].

1.3. OPatch - In Database Server, OPatch is installed in "D:\oracle\ora92\OPatch" folder. [If already present, move/backup the files present in the OPatch folder and reinstall new OPatch in the same folder]. Include its "D:\oracle\ora92\OPatch" folder in "Path" environment variable [refer section 1.4].

3.2. Shutdown ArcSDE Service(s):

C:\>set ORACLE_SID=TESTORCL
C:\>set SDEHOME=C:\esri_sde\ArcSDE\ora9iexe

C:\>sdemon -o shutdown -i esri_sde -p <password> -N
