Quirky 11i Apps Patch queires

Long time since I blogged. I was a bit busy with my vacations and work! Anyway, check out my travelogue, if you are interested enough.


This time, I plan to write about a few quirky and rarely used queries to find out whether a patch is applied.


Method 1

Check Patches applied from Oracle Applications Manager (OAM).

a) Connect to OAM:

http://hostname.domain:port/servlets/weboam/oam/oamLogin

Go to Site Map-->Maintenance-->Applied Patches

Enter Patch ID and press 'Go'

See if Patch is returned.


Method 2

Use 'adphrept' utility documented in Metalink Note:181665.1, section 'Retrieving information on patches or files that have been applied via adpatch'.


$AD_TOP/patch/115/sql/adphrept.sql (available on admin and web nodes in multi tier APPL_TOP)

(1) Patch History report usage:
$AD_TOP/patch/115/sql/adphrept.sql <query_depth> < bug_number or ALL> <bug_product or ALL> \
<end_date_from (mm/dd/rr or ALL)> <end_date_to (mm/dd/rr or ALL)> \
<patchname/ALL> <patchtype/ALL> <level/ALL> <language/ALL> \
<appltop/ALL> <limit to forms server? (Y/N)> \
<limit to web server? (Y/N)> \
<limit to node server? (Y/N)> \
<limit to admin server? (Y/N)> \
<only patches that change DB? (Y/N)>


Specify 1 or 2 or 3 for query_depth


1-> Details of patches only


2-> Details of patches and their Bug Fixes only


3-> Details of patches their Bug Fixes and Bug Actions


The output would be generated in the current directory and would be named adfilerep.xml.


Example1: To get the complete patch details for patches applied in Oct 2009:


$ sqlplus apps @$AD_TOP/patch/115/sql/adphrept.sql 3 ALL ALL 10/01/09 10/31/09 ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL N N N N N

Example2: To find whether bug number 6502082 is applied or not.

Method 3

You might also use the following query, however methods 1 and 2 are more reliable.

SQL> SELECT DISTINCT RPAD(a.bug_number,
11) RPAD(e.patch_name,
11) RPAD(TRUNC(c.end_date),
12) RPAD(b.applied_flag, 4) BUG_APPLIED
FROM
ad_bugs a,
ad_patch_run_bugs b,
ad_patch_runs c,
ad_patch_drivers d ,
ad_applied_patches e
WHERE
a.bug_id = b.bug_id AND
b.patch_run_id = c.patch_run_id AND
c.patch_driver_id = d.patch_driver_id AND
d.applied_patch_id = e.applied_patch_id AND
a.bug_number in ('<XXXXXX>','<YYYYYY>')
ORDER BY 1 DESC;



A modified version of the above query is as below:

SELECT DISTINCT a.bug_number, e.patch_name,
TRUNC(c.end_date) end_date, b.applied_flag BUG_APPLIED
FROM
ad_bugs a,
ad_patch_run_bugs b,
ad_patch_runs c,
ad_patch_drivers d ,
ad_applied_patches e
WHERE
a.bug_id = b.bug_id AND
b.patch_run_id = c.patch_run_id AND
c.patch_driver_id = d.patch_driver_id AND
d.applied_patch_id = e.applied_patch_id AND
a.bug_number in ('&bug_number1','&bug_number2')
ORDER BY 1 DESC;



Note: Please enter Patch number in place of and , e.g '3453499'


Method 4

In multi-node environment you are advised to use Patch Query from section "Checking the Patch Requirements on each Appl_Top" of the Metalink Note:364439.1 - Tips and Queries for Troubleshooting Advanced Topologies.

set serveroutput on
DECLARE
TYPE p_patch_array_type is varray(10) of varchar2(10);
--
p_patchlist p_patch_array_type;
p_appltop_name varchar2(50);
p_patch_status varchar2(15);
p_appl_top_id number;
--
CURSOR alist IS
select appl_top_id, name
from ad_appl_tops;
--
procedure println(msg in varchar2)
is
begin
dbms_output.enable;
dbms_output.put_line(msg);
end;
--
BEGIN
open alist;
--
p_patchlist:= p_patch_array_type('3240000','3460000','4204335','4125550','3942483','4733943');
--
LOOP
FETCH alist INTO p_appl_top_id,p_appltop_name;
EXIT WHEN alist%NOTFOUND;
--
IF p_appltop_name NOT IN ('GLOBAL','*PRESEEDED*')
THEN
println(p_appltop_name ':');
for i in 1..p_patchlist.count
loop
p_patch_status := ad_patch.is_patch_applied('11i',p_appl_top_id,p_patchlist(i));
println('..Patch ' p_patchlist(i) ' was ' p_patch_status);
end loop;
END if;
println('.');
END LOOP;
--
close alist;
END;
/



A modification of the above query to find whether a single patch is applied or not:

-- Query to find whether a single patch was applied or not.
set serveroutput on;
DECLARE
p_appltop_name varchar2(50);
p_patch_status varchar2(15);
p_appl_top_id number;
--
cursor atoplist is
select appl_top_id, name from ad_appl_tops;
--
procedure println(msg in varchar2)
is
begin
dbms_output.enable;
dbms_output.put_line(msg);
end;
--
BEGIN
open atoplist;
--
LOOP
FETCH atoplist INTO p_appl_top_id,p_appltop_name;
EXIT WHEN atoplist%NOTFOUND;
--
IF p_appltop_name NOT IN ('GLOBAL','*PRESEEDED*')
THEN
println(p_appltop_name ':');
p_patch_status := ad_patch.is_patch_applied('11i',p_appl_top_id,&bug);
println('..Patch ' &bug ' was ' p_patch_status);
END if;
println('.');
END LOOP;
--
close atoplist;
END;
/
