Upgrade Oracle Application Server to 10.1.3.4 (10g R3 patchset 4)
Overview of applying Oracle Application Server 10g R3 patchset 4 (10.1.3.4) on existing 10g R3 (10.1.3)
Key Points for 10.1.3.4 Upgrade
1. Patch Number for OAS 10g R3 patchset 4 (10.1.3.4) is 7272722
2. 10g R3 patchset 4 (10.1.3.4.0 - 7272722) is cumulative and includes all fixes from 10.1.3.0, 10.1.3.1, 10.1.3.2 and 10.1.3.3
3. 10g R3 patchset 4 (10.1.3.4.0) is NOT complete software, you need to install in on top of one of existing software i.e. 10.1.3.n (10.1.3.0, 10.1.3.1, 10.1.3.2 or 10.1.3.3)
4)10g Rel 3 patchset 1 (10.1.3.1.0) is starting point for Oracle SOA Suite (BPEL, ESB…) and 10g Rel 3 patchset 2 (10.1.3.2.0) is starting point for WebCenter Suite (ContentDB, WebCenter Services). If you are using Oracle SOA Suite or Oracle Web Center then you need to do additonal steps before upgrade like
– upgrade_10131_10134_oracle.sql (10.1.3.1) or
– upgrade_10133_10134_oracle.sql (10.1.3.3) (For BPEL from ORABPEL schema)
– upgrade_10133_10134_oracle.sql (For ESB from ORAESB schema)
5) 10.1.3.4 patch set updates DSA (Application Server Guard) ports so if you have edited dsa.conf , reset it back after 10.1.3.4 patch set. - Oracle is moving away from ASGuard/DSA; try not to use it * More information coming soon …
6) It is NOT possible to upgrade from 10g Rel2 (10.1.2.X) to 10g Rel3 (10.1.3.X) Application Server (Till date)
