Hi Ravi

the DART49 is support plus JUN 2000
so you need to install all the patches from this cd .

you can also install a new DART if you have a new support plus cd

also if you install the system from the cds from jun2000 you dont need to install it .

also here is a good link for hp-ux oracle patches : http://www.hporaclectc.com/html/patch.html

Hi ravi again .

if you want to see the contents of a Support Plus CD, go to Maintenance and Support --Standard Patch Bundles -- View Support Plus Releases

Hi eran
thanx for the reply.
when i tried to install patches from the supported CD it gives the error /cdrom is empty.(i am mounting the cd on /cdrom). does these patches require codewords, if so for which packages i require codewords. if u can give me the details it will be a great help

Hi ravi

i check . the support plus dont have codeword.

i know that you must install the hardware / ciritcal.

i will tell you advise .

i have 3 cusotmer that install the same oracle
and didnt install the DART only the 2-3 patches that the say .

oracle ask for you to install the DART49 because the tested the oracle on a computer that was install on jun2000 and i dont think that you must install them .

but i m sure that the support plus is not with codeword , i did yesterday the install of the suport plus of dec 2000.

also you can try to install from a new cd of support plus that you have .

Hi Ravi:

"Dart" is a now extinct term for the SupportPlus patch bundles. "49" would be the June 2000 CDROM. The March 2001 bundles are labeled "SP-0103" for obvious reasons:

You can view and download from the link above. You can also order a CDROM via the Software Update Manager (SUM).

Your query about DART49 has come up a couple of times recently. SupportPlus patch bundles are cumulative. Using the latest General Release (GR) bundle will provide you with the same or better features and fixes as that for which your Oracle documentation calls. [You could trace a specific patch by number in the Patch Database to confirm this yourself]. Be sure to specify 'patch_match_target=true' to automatically select patches that match your software. There are no codewords associated with the contents of the SupportPlus CDs.
