Critical Patch Update April 2005 for Database 9.2 and 10.1 Update - Correction



Dear Oracle Customer, 

If you have applied the patches for Critical Patch Update July 2005 
(CPUJul2005) already, you can skip this message.  

You are receiving this email because you were sent an email subjected "Critical 
Patch Update April 2005 for Database 9.2 and 10.1 Update" on July 6 or July 7, 
depending on your time zone.  The email stated that a step was missing in the 
installation script of the patches for Critical Patch Update April 2005 
(CPUApr2005) that caused a jar file not to be uploaded to the database.  There 
are two corrections to the email.  

Firstly, Database 9.2.0.6 was listed as one of the affected products.  This was 
incorrect.  This issue did not affect the CPUApr2005 patch for Database 
9.2.0.6.  There was no action required.  As a result, only the following 
Database Server versions are affected:

9.2.0.5 (Patches 4193299, 4195791, and 4214192) 
10.1.0.2 (Patches 4193293, 4181849, and 4213305) 
10.1.0.3 (Patches 4193286, 4269715, and 4158888) 
10.1.0.4 (Patches 4210374, 4287619, and 4287611) 

Secondly, it was discovered that the steps provided earlier did not rectify the 
problem completely.  This affects all platforms of the database versions listed 
above.  Even if JVM was not installed, you should still follow the steps 
described below after the CPUApr2005 patch is installed to complete the 
installation.  This issue is corrected in the patches for Critical Patch Update 
July 2005 (CPUJul2005), thus applying CPUJul2005 is another workaround.  

To rectify the problem, please implement the following steps after the 
CPUApr2005 patch is installed, irrespective of whether you have already 
completed the instructions in the previous email message or not:

    1.     Startup all the database instances running out of the ORACLE_HOME 
being patched.
    2.     For each database instance running out of the ORACLE_HOME being 
patched, execute the following command, after replacing <passwd> with the 
correct password, as a user in the operating system DBA group:
          
           For non-Windows platforms:
           > cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
           > ./loadjava ?user sys/<passwd> $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib/CDC.jar

           For Windows platforms:
           > cd  %ORACLE_HOME%\bin
           > loadjava -user sys/<passwd>  %ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms\jlib\CDC.jar

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience you may have experienced, and 
we thank you for your patience and cooperation in securing your Oracle server 
products. 

Regards, 
Oracle Global Product Support
