Hello Guys !
I’m here again, to give an small explanation of why, we need know how to deinstall an Release Update.
Why ?
It’s depends, on my case, the last RU had some issues in the import datapump.
After review all cases and aply some workarounds, and debug and review all logs and traces with the ADRCI tool to stay sure of my desicion, deinstall.
Additional Documentation
I review the oracle document from MOS: Database 19c Release Updates and Revisions Bugs Fixed Lists (Doc ID 2523220.1)
Hands on
The first step is verificate the number of the RU, to start with the procediment:
select CON_ID,
TO_CHAR(action_time, 'YYYY-MM-DD') AS action_time,
PATCH_ID,
PATCH_TYPE,
ACTION,
DESCRIPTION,
SOURCE_VERSION,
TARGET_VERSION
from CDB_REGISTRY_SQLPATCH
order by CON_ID, action_time, patch_id;
This query help us, with the list of the number, to verified the last patch applied.
The result show me the number:
CON_ID ACTION_TIME PATCH_ID PATCH_TYPE ACTION DESCRIPTION SOURCE_VERSION TARGET_VERSION ---------- ------------ ---------- ---------- ---------- -------------------------------- --------------- --------------- 1 2019-11-21 29517242 RU APPLY Database Release Update : 19.3.0 19.1.0.0.0 19.3.0.0.0 .0.190416 (29517242) 1 2019-11-22 30125133 RU APPLY Database Release Update : 19.5.0 19.3.0.0.0 19.5.0.0.0 .0.191015 (30125133) 2 2019-11-21 29517242 RU APPLY Database Release Update : 19.3.0 19.1.0.0.0 19.3.0.0.0 .0.190416 (29517242) 2 2019-11-22 30125133 RU APPLY Database Release Update : 19.5.0 19.3.0.0.0 19.5.0.0.0 .0.191015 (30125133) 3 2019-11-21 29517242 RU APPLY Database Release Update : 19.3.0 19.1.0.0.0 19.3.0.0.0 .0.190416 (29517242) 3 2019-11-22 30125133 RU APPLY Database Release Update : 19.5.0 19.3.0.0.0 19.5.0.0.0 .0.191015 (30125133) 6 rows selected.
So, we start with the deinstallation:
- Shutdown the database.
