APPLIES TO:Oracle Universal Installer - Version 10.2.0.1 to 12.1.0.2 [Release 10.2 to 12.1]Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 10.2.0.1 to 12.2.0.1 [Release 10.2 to 12.2] Information in this document applies to any platform. GOAL
This Article helps in creating the OCM response file to run opatch in silent mode Scenario: However, this can be solved via creating an OCM response file and pass all the parameters via this file while silent install. Opatch reads this file while installing in silent does not prompt for OCM credentials.
What is OCM (Oracle Configuration Manager?) The Oracle Configuration Manager (OCM) is a tool which proactively monitor the customers Oracle environment and provide this information to My Oracle Support (MOS). The Data collected from the customer environment is uploaded to Oracle Customer Configuration Repository and replicates this to My Oracle Support so that customer/support can view it. Additionally MOS analyzes the Data collected and informs respective customer about alerts and advise health checks. For more information refer Note:369619.1
SOLUTIONPre-requirements to use opatch silent 1) Download and install latest opatch tool (ignore this if already done)2) Create response file for OCM3) Use the OCM response file for all opatch silent applicationHowever, If plan to use the ocm.rsp file with other OH - like, GRID, CRS, ORACLE_HOME, then please make sure this file is placed in accessible path and have 775 file permission (i.e $chmod 775 ocm.rsp)
========= refer below for detailed steps =============
1) Download and install latest opatch tool (recommended)Patch # 6880880
2) How to create response file for OCM Note : the location of OCM executable is "$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/ocm/bin/emocmrsp"
syntax : Refer the options below to create a ocm response fileOption 1 : Create the response file while keeping OCM turned OFF (Yes, OCM can be turned off. use this options if you are not sure about OCM ) % export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/11.2/db1 Provide your email address to be informed of security issues, install and <<<< Press Enter/Return key and don't provide any input >>>> You have not provided an email address for notification of security issues. Option 2 : Create the response file while keep OCM turn ON / Active (Yes, OCM can be turned ON. use this "options 1" if you are not sure about OCM ) % export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/11.2/db1 Provide your email address to be informed of security issues, install and Password (optional): <Password will be verified if provided / Press return/Enter Key> Note 1 : we can preserve the file “/u02/ocm.rsp” ( rename if needed) and could be used with other similar ORACLE_HOME/setup/machine Note 2 : Also applicable to Grid home patching (opatch -auto -ocmrf instead "-silent" ) However, If plan to use the ocm.rsp file with other OH - like, GRID, CRS, ORACLE_HOME, then please make sure this file is placed in accessible path and have 775 file permission (i.e $chmod 775 ocm.rsp)
3) Use the OCM response file for all "opatch -silent" operations
Assume applying patch 12345 % cd 12345 Example: % opatch apply -silent -ocmrf /u02/ocm.rsp Additional Examples (Showing command usage for CPU/SPU/PSU/ "opatch auto" ) 1) User below for CPU/SPU apply 2)Use below for PSU apply 3)GRID patching command changed sightly as below Note1 : File “/u02/ocm.rsp” (could be renamed as per requirement ) can be used with other opatch -silent when used with other ORACLE_HOME/setup/machine, however, mention this file while invoking opatch -silent
Note :- Starting with OPatch version 12.2.0.1.5 and higher ,opatchauto execution doesn't require ocm.rsp .
