CPU, PSU, SPU - Oracle Critical Patch Update Terminology Update

It all started in January 2005 with Critical Patch Updates (CPU).  Then Patch Set Updates (PSU) were added as cumulative patches that included priority fixes as well as security fixes.  As of the October 2012 Critical Patch Update, Oracle has changed the terminology to better differentiate between patch types.  This terminology will be used for the Oracle Database, Enterprise Manager, Fusion Middleware, and WebLogic.

Critical Patch Update (CPU) now refers to the overall release of security fixes each quarter rather than the cumulative database security patch for the quarter.  Think of the CPU as the overarching quarterly release and not as a single patch.

Patch Set Updates (PSU) are the same cumulative patches that include both the security fixes and priority fixes.  The key with PSUs is they are minor version upgrades (e.g., 11.2.0.1.1 to 11.2.0.1.2).  Once a PSU is applied, only PSUs can be applied in future quarters until the database is upgraded to a new base version.

Security Patch Update (SPU) terminology is introduced in the October 2012 Critical Patch Update as the term for the quarterly security patch.  SPU patches are the same as previous CPU patches, just a new name.  For the database, SPUs can not be applied once PSUs have been applied until the database is upgraded to a new base version.

Bundle Patches are the quarterly patches for Windows and Exadata which include both the quarterly security patches as well as recommended fixes.

JRE Version in R12

To find the JRE/Java version used by Client Machine,

-bash-4.1$ cat $FORMS_WEB_CONFIG_FILE|grep sun_plugin_version
sun_plugin_version=1.6.0_45

(or)

-bash-4.1$ grep plugin $CONTEXT_FILE

                        1.6.0_45</sun_plugin_ver>
                        jdk
-bash-4.1$
 

(or)

cd $COMMON_TOP/webapps/oacore/util/jinitiator

-bash-4.1$ ls -ltr
-rwxrwxr-x 1 applmgr applmgr 17090992 Aug 10  2013 j2se16045.exe

-bash-4.1$


j2se16045.exe means client machine uses jre1.6.0_45.

The name  j2se16045.exe as when we do jre upgrade, will move as follows

 mv jre-6u45-windows-i586.exe $COMMON_TOP/webapps/oacore/util/jinitiator/j2se16045.exe

Install Oracle EBS rpms

1. Download and copy the appropriate yum configuration file in place, by running the following commands as root:

   Oracle Linux 7

   # cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol7.repo

   Oracle Linux 6

   # cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo

   Oracle Linux 5

   # cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el5.repo

   Oracle Linux 4, Update 6 or Newer

   # cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# mv Oracle-Base.repo Oracle-Base.repo.disabled
# wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el4.repo

   Oracle OpenStack for Oracle Linux 2.0

   # cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol7.repo
# yum install yum-plugin-priorities
   Note: Make sure to enable ol7_optional_latest repository before installing yum-plugin-priorities on your system

   Oracle OpenStack for Oracle Linux 1.0

   # cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-openstack-ol6.repo

   Oracle VM 2

   # cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ovm2.repo
2. By default, the latest repository is enabled. If you want to change the default, you can enable an alternative repository by editing the yum configuration file.
• Open the yum configuration file in a text editor
• Locate the section in the file for the repository want to enable, e.g. [el4_u6_base]
• Change enabled=0 to enabled=1
