The patch set can be re-installed if the Oracle home has been corrupted, and you want to restore the updated Oracle home.
The following describes how to re-install the patch set:
Make sure to perform the same set of pre-installation tasks that you performed when you installed the patch set initially:
Log in as the oracle
account and make sure the environment is set to the correct ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID.
Uncompress and untar the downloaded patch set file into a new directory.
Shut down the existing Oracle server instance with normal or immediate priority. For example, shut down all instances (cleanly) if running Real Application Clusters.
Stop all listener, agent and other processes running in or against the ORACLE_HOME that will have the patch set installation.
Start the Oracle Universal Installer in the same manner that you did when you installed the patch set initially. You may only re-install a patch set by running the Oracle Universal Installer in interactive mode.
Perform the following tasks using the Oracle Universal Installer release 10.1.0.2:
Click Next on the Welcome screen. This will display the File Locations screen.
Click Browse for the Source... entry field and navigate to the stage directory where you unpacked the patch set tar file.
Select the products.xml
file.
Click Next. The products file will be read and the Oracle Universal Installer will load the product definitions. The Oracle Universal Installer will display the Available Product Component screen. This screen contains a listing of all components that have been patched by the original patch set installation. These components will be grayed out, indicating they cannot be selected for installation.
Expand the node for each component listed in the tree. You will see a patch that corresponds to each component.
Select the patch for installation by selecting the check box to the left of the patch name. As you do this, the Install Status column should say "reinstall."
Repeat the process for each patch bundled in the patch set.
Click Next. The patches to be re-installed will be displayed.
Verify the list of patches to be re-installed.
Click Install. Once the installation is completed successfully, it will display End of Installation.
Click Exit, and confirm to exit the Oracle Universal Installer.
There is no mechanism provided for de-installing patch sets. If you are concerned about being able to de-install a patch set, Oracle recommends that you back up your software installation before applying the patch set.
If you must de-install a patch set, Oracle recommends one of the following procedures (in order of preference):
Restore the ORACLE_HOME from backup.
Re-install the baseline release and any patch sets previously applied, up to but not including this patch set.
Regardless of how you de-install a patch set, please contact Oracle Support Services to verify that the problem you are encountering is being addressed.
