1 Patch Information
Database Release Update Revision 19.16.2.0.230117 patches are cumulative. That is, the content of all previous Database bundles is included in the latest Database bundle patch.

To install the Database Release Update Revision 19.16.2.0.230117 patch, the Oracle home must have Oracle Database release 19c installed.

This patch is Oracle RAC Rolling Installable.

This patch is Database Vault installable. Review My Oracle Support Document 1195205.1 for details on how to apply this patch to a Database Vault environment.

This patch is Data Guard Standby-First Installable. See My Oracle Support Document 1265700.1 Oracle Patch Assurance - Data Guard Standby-First Patch Apply for details on how to
remove risk and reduce downtime when applying this patch.

This patch includes the JDK fixes released in the prior cycle and will update the JDK in the Oracle home. For the most recent JDK fixes, a separate patch is available and needs to be
installed in addition to this patch. Refer to My Oracle Support document 888.1 - Primary Note for Database Proactive Patch Program for the JDK patch number.

Any new or changed database initialization parameters that might be included into a quarterly patch bundle would be documented in the Oracle Database Reference manual section on
initialization parameters. For Oracle Database 19c, refer to E96196-23.

For the latest Update with Security Fixes that should be used on Client-Only installations, please refer to the Critical Patch Update (CPU) Program Patch Availability Document (PAD)
section on the Oracle Database, for the cycle in which you are interested.

2 Prerequisites
It is highly recommended to take a backup of the Oracle_Home binaries and Central Inventory prior to applying patches. For further information, refer to Note 565017.1.

This section includes the following section:

Section 2.1, "OPatch Utility"

2.1 OPatch Utility

You must use the OPatch utility version 12.2.0.1.34 or later to apply this patch. Oracle recommends that you use the latest released OPatch version for 12.2, which is available for
download from My Oracle Support patch 6880880 by selecting ARU link for the 12.2.0.1.0 OPatch release. It is recommended that you download the OPatch utility and the patch in a
shared location to be able to access them from any node in the cluster for the patch application on each node.

When patching the GI home, a shared locaton on Oracle ACFS only needs to be unmounted on the node where the GI home is being patched.

The new OPatch utility should be updated in all of the Oracle RAC database homes and the GI home that are being patched.

For each Oracle RAC database home and the GI home that are being patched, as the home owner, extract the OPatch utility.

For exact instructions to install OPatch, follow the OPatch readme.

For information about OPatch documentation, including any known issues, see My Oracle Support Document 293369.1 OPatch documentation list.

3 Installation
These instructions are for all Oracle Database installations.

Section 3.1, "Patch Pre-Installation Instructions"

Section 3.2, "Patch Installation Instructions"

Section 3.3, "Patch Post-Installation Instructions"

Section 3.4, "Patch Post-Installation Instructions for Databases Created or Upgraded after Installation of this patch in the Oracle Home"

3.1 Patch Pre-Installation Instructions

Before you install Database Release Update Revision 19.16.2.0.230117, perform the following actions to check the environment and to detect and resolve any interim patch conflicts.

Section 3.1.1, "Applying Database 19.x Updates/Revisions with Oracle JavaVM 19.x Updates"

Section 3.1.2, "Environments with Grid Infrastructure"

https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/Services/download?type=readme&aru=25078620#BABDIEDD 1/5
13/5/25, 1:14 p.m. Oracle® Database Patch 34771828 - Database Release Update Revision 19.16.2.0.230117
Section 3.1.3, "Environment Checks"

Section 3.1.4, "Interim Patch Conflict Detection and Resolution"

3.1.1 Applying Database 19.x Updates/Revisions with Oracle JavaVM 19.x Updates

The Oracle JavaVM 19.x Release Update is available as a separate patch. That separate patch has some additional requirements if it is to be installed in a RAC Rolling fashion, as
detailed in MOS NOTE 2217053.1. For customers who want to install both patches together during a single downtime window, follow one of the Patching Options listed in the My Oracle
Support Document 1929745.1 - Oracle JavaVM Component Database PSU and RU" (OJVM PSU and OVJM RU) Patches.

3.1.2 Environments with Grid Infrastructure

This patch is not to be installed to an environment that has a Grid Infrastructure home. Please refer to the following My Oracle Support Document 888.1 to determine the appropriate
Grid infrastructure patch to be installed.

3.1.3 Environment Checks

1. Ensure that the $PATH definition has the following executables: make, ar, ld, and nm.

The location of these executables depends on your operating system. On many operating systems, they are located in /usr/ccs/bin, in which case you can set your PATH
definition as follows:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/ccs/bin

3.1.4 Interim Patch Conflict Detection and Resolution

The fastest and easiest way to determine whether you have interim patches in the Oracle home that conflict with Database Release Update Revision 19.16.2.0.230117, and to get the
necessary conflict resolution patches, is to use the Patch Recommendations and Patch Plans features on the Patches & Updates tab in My Oracle Support. These features work in
conjunction with the My Oracle Support Configuration Manager. Recorded training sessions on these features can be found in Document 603505.1.

However, if you are not using My Oracle Support Patch Plans, the My Oracle Support Conflict Checker tool enables you to upload an OPatch inventory and check the patches that you
want to apply to your environment for conflicts.

If no conflicts are found, you can download the patches. If conflicts are found, the tool finds an existing resolution to download. If no resolution is found, it will automatically request a
resolution, which you can monitor in the Plans and Patch Requests region of the Patches & Updates tab.

For more information, see Knowledge Document 1091294.1, How to use the My Oracle Support Conflict Checker Tool.

Or, use the following steps to manually discover conflicts and resolutions:

1. Determine whether any currently installed interim patches conflict with the patch being installed, 34771828:

unzip p34771828_<version>_<platform>.zip
cd 34771828
opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -ph ./

2. The report indicates the patches that conflict and the patches that are a superset.

3. Use My Oracle Support Document 1321267.1 Database Patch conflict resolution to determine, for each conflicting patch, whether a conflict resolution patch is already available,
and if you need to request a new conflict resolution patch or if the conflict may be ignored.

4. When all the interim patches that you have requested are available at My Oracle Support, proceed with Section 3.2, "Patch Installation Instructions".

3.2 Patch Installation Instructions

Follow these steps:

1. If you are using a Data Guard Physical Standby database, you must install this patch on both the primary database and the physical standby database, as described by My
Oracle Support Document 278641.1.

2. If this is a RAC environment, install this patch using the OPatch rolling (no downtime) installation method as this patch is rolling RAC installable. Refer to My Oracle Support
Document 244241.1 Rolling Patch - OPatch Support for RAC.

3. If this is not a RAC environment, shut down all instances and listeners associated with the Oracle home that you are updating. For more information, see Oracle Database
Administrator's Guide.

4. Set your current directory to the directory where the patch is located and then run the OPatch utility by entering the following commands:

unzip -d <PATCH_TOP_DIR> p34771828_<version>_<platform>.zip

cd <PATCH_TOP_DIR> 34771828
opatch apply

5. If there are errors, refer to Section 5, "Known Issues".

3.3 Patch Post-Installation Instructions

On Oracle Database server, after installing the patch, perform the following actions. This is not required on Oracle Database client.

1. Apply conflict resolution patches as explained in Section 3.3.1.

2. Load modified SQL files into the database, as explained in Section 3.3.2.

3. Upgrade Oracle Recovery Manager Catalog, as explained in Section 3.3.3.

4. Bug fixes that may change an existing optimizer execution plan, as explained in Section 3.3.4.

3.3.1 Apply Conflict Resolution Patches

Apply the patch conflict resolution interim patches that were determined to be needed when you performed the steps in Section 3.1.4, "interim Patch Conflict Detection and Resolution".

3.3.2 Load Modified SQL Files into the Database

The following steps load modified SQL files into the database. For a RAC environment, perform these steps on only one node.

Datapatch is run to complete the post-install SQL deployment for the patch being installed. For further details about Datapatch, including Known Issues and workarounds to common
problems, see: Datapatch: Database 12c Post Patch SQL Automation (Doc ID 1585822.1).

1. For each separate database running on the same shared Oracle home being patched, run the datapatch utility as described in Table 2.

Table 2 Steps to Run the Datapatch Utility for Standalone DB Versus Single/Multitenant (CDB/PDB) DB

https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/Services/download?type=readme&aru=25078620#BABDIEDD 2/5
13/5/25, 1:14 p.m. Oracle® Database Patch 34771828 - Database Release Update Revision 19.16.2.0.230117
Steps Standalone DB Steps

1 % sqlplus /nolog 1

2 SQL> Connect / as sysdba 2

3 SQL> startup 3

4 SQL> quit 4

5 % cd $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch 5

6 % ./datapatch -verbose 6

Footnote 1 It is recommended the Post Install step be run on all pluggable databases; however, the following command (SQL>
alter pluggable database PDB_NAME
open ) could be substituted to only open certain PDBs in the single/multitenant database. Doing so will result in the Post Install step only being run on the CDB and opened
PDB's. To update a pluggable database at a later date (skipped or newly plugged in), open the database using the alter pluggable database command mentioned
previously and rerun the datapatch utility. See My Oracle Support Document 1935365.1 Multitenant Unplug/Plug Best Practices for more information about the procedure
for unplugging/plugging with different patch releases (in both directions).

The datapatch utility runs the necessary apply scripts to load the modified SQL files into the database. An entry is added to the dba_registry_sqlpatch view reflecting the
patch application. In the dba_registry_sqlpatch view, verify the Status for the APPLY is "SUCCESS". For any other status, refer to the following My Oracle Support note for
additional information and actions: Document 2335899.2 Troubleshooting Assistant: 12c Datapatch Issues.

2. Check the following log files in $ORACLE_BASE/cfgtoollogs/sqlpatch/34771828/<unique patch ID> for errors:

34771828_apply_<database SID>_<CDB name>_<timestamp>.log

where database SID is the database SID, CDB name is the name of the multitenant container database, and timestamp is of the form YYYYMMMDD_HH_MM_SS.

3. Any (pluggable) database that has invalid objects after the execution of datapatch should have utlrp.sql run to revalidate those objects.

For example:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
$ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catcon.pl -n 1 -e -b utlrp -d $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin utlrp.sql

3.3.3 Upgrade Oracle Recovery Manager Catalog

If you are using the Oracle Recovery Manager, the catalog needs to be upgraded. Enter the following command to upgrade it. The UPGRADE CATALOG command must be entered
twice to confirm the upgrade.

$ rman catalog username/password@alias

RMAN> UPGRADE CATALOG;
RMAN> UPGRADE CATALOG;
RMAN> EXIT;

3.3.4 Bug Fixes That May Change an Existing Optimizer Execution Plan

At the successful conclusion of the patching event, none of the database bug fixes that may change an existing optimizer execution plan are delivered with the bug fix disabled by
default. The status of any module bug fixes (which cause an execution plan change) that were in an enabled state prior to starting the patching event are preserved, but no new module
bug fixes (which cause an execution plan change) are activated automatically.

Details on this, including the commands to explicitly enable such bug fixes are present in My Oracle Support Document 2147007.1.

3.4 Patch Post-Installation Instructions for Databases Created or Upgraded after Installation of this patch in the Oracle Home

On Oracle Database server, you must execute the steps in Section 3.3.2, "Loading Modified SQL Files into the Database" for any new database. There are no actions required for
databases that have been upgraded. This is not required on Oracle Database client.

4 Deinstallation
