How to Apply Release Update 19.11.0.0.0 (Patch 32545013)

/ April 24, 2021

This article covers the process of applying the Oracle Release Update 19.11 (Patch 32545013) on a 19c Database.

Step-1: Install Latest OPatch

First Step of Any Patching Process is to download and install the latest version of OPatch. You can follow How to Upgrade OPatch to Latest Version post to quickly upgrade OPatch to latest version.

Step 2: Download Patch 32545013 from Metalink.

From Metalink (https://support.oracle.com/) Download “Patch 32545013: DATABASE RELEASE UPDATE 19.11.0.0.0” relevant to your platform. 
oracle> opatch version
OPatch Version: 12.2.0.1.24

OPatch succeeded.
oracle>

Step 3: Check for Patch Conflict

The move the zip file downloaded in Step 2 above to a directory where Oracle has relevant read/write permission and then unzip the file which would create a folder named 32545013. Navigate to this directory and call OPatch in prereq mode:

oracle> opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -ph ./
Oracle Interim Patch Installer version 12.2.0.1.24

PREREQ session

Oracle Home       : /apps/oracle/server/19.3.0.0/dbhome_1
Central Inventory : /opt/oracle/oraInventory
   from           : /apps/oracle/server/19.3.0.0/dbhome_1/oraInst.loc
OPatch version    : 12.2.0.1.24
OUI version       : 12.2.0.7.0
Log file location : /apps/oracle/server/19.3.0.0/dbhome_1/cfgtoollogs/opatch/opatch2021-04-24_15-10-40PM_1.log

Invoking prereq "checkconflictagainstohwithdetail"

Prereq "checkConflictAgainstOHWithDetail" passed.

OPatch succeeded.

If the pre-requisite check is passed you can proceed further with applying the patch but in case it fails please take necessary actions until the pre-requisite check is passed.

Step-4: Shutdown Database

To minimize the downtime you can shutdown the database after invoking opatch apply but just to explicitly specify, I have created an additional step for this.

Once the database running from the Oracle Home that we are going to patch is shutdown, proceed further with next step.

Step-5: Apply OPatch

Navigate to the folder 32545013 and invoke the OPatch with apply mode.

$  $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch apply
