Upgrade Oracle from 10.2.0.2 To 10.2.0.4
Oct 9 2009, 4:27 AM EDT
2. Download Patch set I am quite new in using Oracle. I need to perform an Upgrade of Oracle from 10.2.0.2 To 10.2.0.4 (for windows server 2003 32 bits) My problem is by triyng to Download 6810189 patch set from the ORacle site. The patch set is relative big, 1GB, and when dowloading with Internet Explorer I become a message ( when 500 MB has been already downloaded) that a Virus has been found and the download closes suddendy. Did anybody download this patch set sucessfully. Could be the internet explorer? Thanks for your help. Do you find this valuable? |

"sorry!!Lets see... Do a full cold backup, and a database export before you start. Make sure you stop AND disable any services that might be locking the files Oracle uses... This can include (but is not limited to): Backup Agents (Such as Backup Exec Oracle Agent) Distributed Transaction Coordinator HP Insight Foundation Agent Windows Management Instrumentation World Wild Web Publishing If a file like OCI.DLL is locked, and you can't figure out which service (or exe) is causing it, Disable every service mentioned above, plus the Oracle services, plus anything else you think might be interfering, change the ORACLE_HOME to something that is NOT the Oracle home. and reboot... (Change Oracle Home back after you reboot) I like setting the LOCAL, ORACLE_HOME, and ORACLE_SID enviromentals... Oh, I also like running utlprp.sql BEFORE patching to make sure everything is working... When you are done, install the latest quaterly CPU... Do you find this valuable? |
