Shalom,

http://itrc.hp.com has a link on it called patch database.

This enables you to search for patches, perhaps those recommended by a software vendor and then mark them for download including their dependencies.

This is the best way to put together a patch set that includes all dependencies required.

The standard patch bundles are also included on the same website and you can download them as well, or merely check the contents list to see if your patches are included.

In general, its a good idea to put bi-annual patch sets in on some kind of schedule. I like to wait now a few months on 11.23 becasue most of the systems I deal with are 11.11.

PHSS_32511 11.23 HP aC++ Compiler (A.03.63)
PHSS_32512 11.23 ANSI C compiler B.11.11.12 cumulative
PHSS_32513 11.23 +O4/PBO Compiler B.11.11.12 cumulative
PHSS_32740 11.23 Serviceguard A.11.16.00

You can't install the first 3 patches unless you have purchased the ANSI C and aC++ compilers. Are you trying to install these because Oracle told you to do so?

You should be able to install Oracle by just using the bundled C compiler.

Thanks very much - which is really a very good info . our DBA said that he gets the not found /info checking phase failed error when he tries to install oracle about these patches.

By the way what about the service gaurd patch.

so i guess with out these 4 patches surely oracle can be installed - am i correct.

thanks

>By the way what about the serviceguard patch.

Do you get a similar error message?
I would think if you don't have it installed, you don't need a patch.

>i guess without these 4 patches surely oracle can be installed

Yes, I would think so.

You can use the new Software Assistant tool to help with this. It is available from http://www.hp.com/go/swa.

Once you have it installed, you could use the command:

# swa report -a CHAIN=PHSS_32511,PHSS_32512,PHSS_32513,PHSS_32740

To generate the full list of patches that HP recommends that are at least as new as your list. After that the command:

# swa get -t /MyDepot

will download the identified patches to your depot.

I assume SWA will say you can't install these patches because you don't have the base release? Will it go as far as to suggest previous patches that may work??
