How to run Opatch in Silent mode without User Interaction

In this post, I am going to share the steps on how to run the Opatch in Silent mode. This is helpful when you want to automate Opatch utility and don't want any user interaction.

Steps:

1)Download and install the latest opatch tool.

Patch # 6880880

Select a Release: 10.2 -OR- 11.1 -OR- 11.2 -OR- 12.1

2)Create a response file and copy the created response file at any required location.

Syntax :

export ORACLE_HOME=<my_oracle_home_path>

$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/ocm/bin/emocmrsp -no_banner -output <specify_the_location>/file.rsp

* creates the response in location specified by the parameter "-output"

* running without "-output <specify_the_location>/file.rsp" creates the file in current directory with default name(ocm.rsp)

I don't want to provide any email address to just hit enter and y to stay uninformed.

[oracle@ebs122 ~]$/oracleapps/DATABASE/GOLD/12.1.0/OPatch/ocm/bin/emocmrsp

OCM Installation Response Generator 10.3.7.0.0 - Production

The OCM configuration response file (ocm.rsp) was successfully created.

ocm.rsp file can be also used with other OH - like, GRID, CRS, ORACLE_HOME, make sure this file is placed in an accessible path and have 775 file permission (i.e $chmod 775 ocm.rsp)

3) Use the response file to apply any patch in the silent mode now.

cd 22496904

opatch apply -silent -ocmrf $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/ocm.rsp

Examples (Showing command usage for CPU/SPU/PSU/ "opatch auto" )

1) User below for CPU/SPU apply

opatch napply -silent -ocmrf <ORACLE_HOME>/ocm.rsp

2)Use below for PSU apply

opatch apply -silent -ocmrf <ORACLE_HOME>/ocm.rsp

3)GRID patching command changed sightly as below

opatch auto -ocmrf <ORACLE_HOME>/ocm.rsp

Note:- Starting with OPatch version 12.2.0.1.5 and higher,opatchauto execution doesn't require ocm.rsp

How to Validate TDE Wallet Password in Oracle Database

How to Validate TDE Wallet Password in Oracle Database Validating the Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) wallet password is crucial, especially when ensuring that the password is correct without using the OPEN or CLOSE commands in the database. This blog post explains a straightforward method to validate the TDE password using the mkstore utility. Steps to Validate TDE Wallet Password Follow these steps to validate the TDE wallet password: Step 1: Copy the Keystore/Wallet File Navigate to your existing TDE wallet directory. Copy only the ewallet.p12 file to a new directory. If a cwallet.sso file exists, do not copy it . The absence of cwallet.sso ensures that the wallet does not use auto-login, forcing the utility to prompt for the password. Step 2: Validate Using mkstore Use the mkstore utility to check the contents of the wallet file. The mkstore utility will prompt you for the TDE wallet password, allowing you to validate its correctness. Command Syntax To display the conten...
