OPatch succeeded.

I am not going to add  output of all commands. The output should looks like as above.

$DOWNLOAD_PATCH is a directory where the patch is located.

2)

Shut down all instances and listeners associated with the Oracle home that you are updating.

Stop a PDB from Oracle home:

alter pluggable database KARDBPDB close immediate;

srvctl stop database -d KARDBTST

srvctl status database -d KARDBTST

Database is not running.

Stop Listener from GI Home

srvctl stop  listener -l LISTENER

srvctl status listener -l LISTENER

Listener LISTENER is enabled

Listener LISTENER is not running

Stop ASM

srvctl stop asm -f

srvctl status asm

ASM is not running.

3)

As root user execute the following command.

You have following options

 i) To patch only the GI Home

 <GI_HOME>/OPatch/opatchauto apply <UNZIPPED_PATCH_LOCATION>/34762026 -  oh <GI_HOME>

ii) To patch oracle_home

  opatchauto apply <UNZIPPED_PATCH_LOCATION>/34762026 -oh <oracle_home1_path>

 iii) Patching Oracle Home and Grid Home togather:

 As root user, execute the following command on each node of the cluster:

 # <GI_HOME>/OPatch/opatchauto apply <UNZIPPED_PATCH_LOCATION>/34762026

I am going to apply the path for both grid home and oracle home together.

NOTE: make sure that the Clusterware is running:

crsctl status has

If it is not running, you need to start it as follow.

crsctl start has

export PATH=$PATH:$GRID_HOME/OPatch
$GRID_HOME/OPatch/opatchauto apply $DOWNLOAD_PATCH/34762026

Post-Installation Instructions

For the both Single/Multitenant (CDB/PDB) DB required following steps.

sqlplus / as sysdba

startup

alter pluggable database all open;

quit

cd $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch

./datapatch -verbose

Any databases that have invalid objects need to execute utlrp.sql run

For example:

cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin

sqlplus /nolog

SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA

SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql

-- You can check valid or invalid objects with the following command.

set pagesize 250;

col STATUS format a20;

col COMP_NAME format a35;

select COMP_NAME, version, status from dba_registry;

STEP 2

Patch 34786990 - Oracle JavaVM Component Release Update 19.18.0.0.230117

For a Non Oracle RAC environment, shut down all databases and listeners associated with the Oracle home that you are updating.

From Oracle_home.

Normally no need to stop ASM. You need to just stop the DB and Listener

alter pluggable database KARDBPDB close immediate;

srvctl stop database -d KARDBTST

srvctl stop  listener -l LISTENER

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/ccs/bin

#$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch apply $DOWNLOAD_PATCH/34786990

Post installation Steps.

startup

alter pluggable database all open;

exit

cd $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch

./datapatch -verbose

sqlplus / as sysdba

cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin

SQL> @utlrp.sql

$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lspatches |sort

==== DONE ====

Verify the patch Version and Status of the patch:

col ID format a5

col COMMENTS format a20

col VERSION format a12

col BUNDLE format a5

col ACTION_TIME format a30

col ACTION format a10

set linesize 150

select substr(action_time,1,30) action_time, substr(id,1,8) id, substr(action,1,10) action, substr(version,1,8) version, substr(comments,1,20) comments from sys.registry$history ;

set pagesize 20;

set linesize 200;

col ACTION_TIME format a30;

col DESCRIPTION format a50;

select PATCH_ID,ACTION,ACTION_TIME,DESCRIPTION,STATUS from registry$sqlpatch order by ACTION_TIME ;

select PATCH_ID,DESCRIPTION,STATUS from registry$sqlpatch order by ACTION_TIME ;

Enjoy !
