Multiple database patches using opatch

By Unknown
During the last upgrade I had to upgrade the database but also prepare the database for R12.2 so there were a few db patches that needed to be applied. Normally with two or three patches this is not a problem. However with twenty patches this makes things a bit more monotanous. My boss came to the rescue with this little jewel.

First unzip ALL patches to $PATCH_TOP on DB tier
unzip "p*.zip" -d $PATCH_TOP

Add opatch to PATH in the $HOME/.bash_profile if not already in PATH
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/Opatch

Check opatch is working
opatch lsinventory 

Apply all patches in a single command (one line)
opatch napply -silent $PATCH_TOP -id 18485835,18689530,18893947,18966843,19291380,19393542,19472320,19627012,19649152,19779059,19835133,19896336,20093776,20177858,20181016,20204035,20294666,20476776,20830911,20994102,21091055

Now all I need is to figure out how to use this in non interactive mode so that I don't have to also answer the questions in between.

Cancel or abort adop session

By Unknown
ADOP is in my opinion still pretty half baked. This is a critical tool that just isn't as intuitive as the old adpatch was. However we move with the times and get the hang of the new way of doing things. Along the way you might want to abort or cancel a patching cycling. With the two file systems and db editioning this can be a bit more to manage. I have learnt the hard way so you need to use the full cleanup after aborting a session. adop phase=abort adop phase=cleanup cleanup_mode=full

Error during rapid clone on pasteBinary.sh, exit code 255

By Unknown
I needed to run a clone and was running into a really head scratcher. As is Oracle\'s way they sometimes enjoy giving us DBA's a bit of detective work to do. As usual I kept knocking my head into various brick walls instead of tracking back through the logs. Eventually I came up with the problem Start to configure the run filesystem. You can do a dualfs from AD-TXK Delta 7 but for now I just needed to get this up and running: perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier START: Creating FMW Home.
