Oracle recommends that you read and understand the information in this document before beginning the installation.
Please review the following important notes before installing this patch:
Search Service Refactoring Requires Additional Configuration
Change Notification Service Removed from Coexistence Deployments
If you have not already installed an instance of Oracle Beekeeper, but you think you might want to use Oracle Beekeeper in the future, you must install Oracle Beekeeper before installing the 2.0.1.3.0 Cumulative Patch Set.
Once you install the 2.0.1.3.0 Cumulative Patch Set, you cannot install a new instance of Oracle Beekeeper.
Oracle Beekeeper must be patched to 2.0.1.3.0 to work with Oracle Beehive 2.0.1.3.0. Earlier versions of Oracle Beekeeper will not work with Oracle Beehive instances that have been patched to 2.0.1.3.0.
ROLLBACK of this patch is not supported. If you need to undo a partial or complete installation of this patch, you must restore Oracle Beehive and the database from backup.
Before applying this (or any) patch on Oracle Beehive, always review the latest Oracle Beehive Release Notes for complete information about known issues, workarounds, and new features in Oracle Beehive. You can find PDF and HTML versions of the Release Notes on the Oracle Technology Network website, at the following URL:
Before applying this (or any) patch on Oracle Beehive, ensure there is sufficient hard drive space on the Oracle Beehive server. Oracle recommends at least 10 GB of free space.
The Oracle Beehive 2.0.1.3.0 Cumulative Patch Set includes a refactoring of the Oracle Beehive Search Service (which was added in 2.0.1.2.1). This is a substantial change which may require additional post-configuration steps:
When patching Oracle Beehive Release 2 (2.0.1.2.0) or earlier:
The existing search index is erased during patching. As a result, after the upgrade any search operation on existing data will return no results. You can perform post-installation steps to build a new search index of existing artifacts, using a new beectl command, beectl add_search_recovery_scope.
If you are using Oracle Secure Enterprise Search (SES) with Oracle Beehive, you must take additional steps to configure SES integration.
After the upgrade, the search service is enabled, new objects will be indexed, and default values for partitioning, jobs, and search service parameters are set. Depending on your deployment, you may need to make further configuration changes to tune the search service.
When patching Oracle Beehive Release 2 (2.0.1.2.1):
The existing search indexing process is suspended during patching. If you use a Zero Downtime Upgrade (ZDU) patching method, changes to searchable objects will not be indexed during the patching process. You can perform post-installation steps to update your existing search index with these accumulated changes.
If you do not use the ZDU method (that is, you elect to shut down your Oracle Beehive deployment during patching), then you do not need to perform any additional configurations steps. Your search index will not be affected by the patch.
For a brief summary of post-installation steps, see Search Service Post-Installation Configuration. For a detailed explanation of the new search service and its configuration, see MetaLink note 1135054.1.
The Oracle Beehive 2.0.1.3.0 Cumulative Patch Set removes the Change Notification Service (CNS) component and integrates the functions it formerly performed directly within the Coexistence Connector. This change significantly reduces the complexity of the deployment and the disadvantages of deploying additional coexistence software on existing Microsoft Exchange servers.
After you apply the 2.0.1.3.0 Patch Set to all of your Oracle Beehive Coexistence Connector Oracle homes AND Oracle Beehive Coexistence Change Notification Oracle homes, you can remove CNS components by following the instructions in Remove CNS Components from Coexistence Deployments.
You must conform to each of the following requirements and perform all pre-installation tasks before installing the patch:
Caution: Failure to carefully read and understand these requirements may cause Oracle Beehive to malfunction, including interruption of service, loss of data, or both. |
Install on Oracle Beehive Release 2 (2.0.1.0.0, 2.0.1.1.0, 2.0.1.2.0, and 2.0.1.2.1) Only
Oracle Beehive 2.0.1.3.0 Cumulative Patch Set can only be installed on Oracle Beehive Release 2 (2.0.1.0.0, 2.0.1.1.0, 2.0.1.2.0, and 2.0.1.2.1). If you have an earlier version of Oracle Beehive, you must first upgrade to Oracle Beehive Release 2, before applying this patch.
Backup your Oracle Beehive Deployment
Before installing 2.0.1.3.0 Cumulative Patch Set, Oracle strongly recommends that you perform a backup of your database and the Oracle Beehive Oracle home.
Install on All Oracle Beehive Application Tiers
You must install this patch in every Oracle Beehive Oracle Home, including Application tiers, Oracle Beehive DMZ Oracle Homes, Oracle Beehive Coexistence Connector Oracle Homes, and Oracle Beekeeper Oracle Homes.
Exept When Patching 2.0.1.2.1, Shut Down Oracle Beehive
Unless you are patching an Oracle Beehive 2.0.1.2.1 deployment, before installing this patch set, shut down all processes on all Oracle Beehive Application tiers, including Oracle Beekeeper, Oracle Beehive Coexistence Connector, and Oracle Beehive DMZ Oracle homes. Make sure that all Oracle Beehive processes were started normally prior to shutting them down.
If you are patching an Oracle Beehive 2.0.1.2.1 deployment, you may perform a Zero Downtime Upgrade (ZDU) patch. In this case, you can leave your Oracle Beehive Application tiers up and running, only shutting down one Application tier server at a time when you patch that server. The ZDU method allows you to avoid extensive downtime of your Oracle Beehive deployment.
Each of your Oracle Beehive servers will be started automatically as you apply the patch set to them.
Disable Fast Validation in the Database
You must disable fast validation in the database before installing Oracle Beehive 2.0.1.3.0 Cumulative Patch Set.
Log in to your Oracle Beehive database as SYS using SQL*Plus, and enter the following command:
ALTER SYSTEM SET "_disable_fast_validate"=TRUE SCOPE=BOTH SID= '*';
After you install the Oracle Beehive 2.0.1.3.0 Cumulative Patch Set, you can re-enable fast validation using the following commands:
ALTER SYSTEM RESET "_disable_fast_validate" SCOPE=SPFILE SID='*'; ALTER SYSTEM SET "_disable_fast_validate"=FALSE SCOPE=MEMORY SID='*';
Apply Database Patch in Database Oracle Home
If you have not already done so (such as when applying a previous patch), apply the oneoff patch for Oracle Database Bug 8440319 in your Oracle Beehive database Oracle home before applying this patch set. Review the README in that patch after unzipping for instructions for applying the patch. Perform all post-patch steps as documented in that README. This Oracle Beehive patch will fail if the post-patch steps are not performed.
Notes:
|
To install 2.0.1.3.0 Cumulative Patch Set for Oracle Beehive Release 2 (2.0.1.0.0, 2.0.1.1.0, 2.0.1.2.0, and 2.0.1.2.1), perform the following steps on each Oracle Beehive server and Oracle Beekeeper Oracle home in your deployment:
Make sure that the Oracle Beehive Database instance and TNS Listener are UP and running.
If you are applying this Cumulative Patch on Oracle Beehive 2.0.1.2.1, shut down all processes in the Oracle Beehive Application tier where the patch will be applied, before applying this patch set. Other Application tiers (including DMZ installations) can be UP and running when applying the patch on a given Application tier. (Oracle Beekeeper instances must be shut down.)
If you are patching an Oracle Beehive Coexistence Connector instance (any version), you must shut down all processes in the Coexistence Connector Oracle Home before applying the patch.
Note: This means that when updating from 2.0.1.2.1 to 2.0.1.3, you can perform a rolling patch by patching one Application tier at a time, without shutting down your Oracle Beehive deployment. (You cannot use the rolling patch method when updating from any previous version.) |
Make sure that Oracle Beehive processes were gracefully started and all services were running before shutting down a given Application tier.
Note: If you have not deployed Oracle Universal Records Management (URM), the Records Management Service will be disabled. You do not need to enable this service prior to patching.However, all other Oracle Beehive services must be enabled and running before you shut down your Oracle Beehive deployment, including services you may normally leave disabled, such as the Device Management Service. |
Unzip the downloaded package to a convenient location.
For Oracle Beekeeper instances that were previously upgraded from 1.5.1.x to 2.0.1.0, work around a known issue (Bug 9041410) by performing the following steps to extract a custom script:
In the Oracle Beekeeper Oracle home, navigate to the patch storage directory:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage
Extract into this directory the custom script:
unzip <patch_extract_location>/9553017/Beehive_2013/custom/scripts/9041410_workaround.zip
On Linux and UNIX only, set your current directory to the directory where the patch is located. For example:
% cd 9553017
(You do not need to take this step on Windows.)
If you are patching an Oracle Beehive server, set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to your Oracle Beehive Oracle home. For example:
On UNIX and Linux platforms:
% setenv ORACLE_HOME /app/oracle/products/beehive
On Windows:
set ORACLE_HOME=C:\Beehive_Home
If you are patching an Oracle Beekeeper instance, set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to your Oracle Beekeeper Oracle home. For example:
On UNIX and Linux platforms:
% setenv ORACLE_HOME /app/oracle/products/2.0.1.2.0/beekeeper_1
On Windows:
set ORACLE_HOME=C:\Beekeeper_Home
Use the following commands to apply the patch:
When applying the patch to the first Oracle Beehive (non-DMZ, non-Beekeeper, non-coexistence connector) instance, run the opatch command with the -first_midtier option:
Notes:
|
% ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch napply -post -sys_passwd <sys password> -dbconnstr "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=<db hostname>)(PORT=<db listen port>))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=<db service name>)))" -first_midtier -opatch_post_end
Note: On Windows, omit the double-quotes surrounding the value of-dbconnstr: patch.bat napply -post -sys_passwd <sys password> -dbconnstr (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=<db hostname>)(PORT=<db listen port>))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=<db service name>))) -first_midtier -opatch_post_end |
When applying the patch to additional Oracle Beehive (non-DMZ, non-Beekeeper, non-coexistence connector) instances, run the opatch command without the -first_midtier option:
% ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch napply -post -sys_passwd <sys password> -dbconnstr "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=<db hostname>)(PORT=<db listen port>))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=<db service name>)))" -opatch_post_end
Note: On Windows, omit the double-quotes surrounding the value of-dbconnstr: patch.bat napply -post -sys_passwd <sys password> -dbconnstr (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=<db hostname>)(PORT=<db listen port>))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=<db service name>))) -opatch_post_end |
When applying the patch to a separate Oracle Beekeeper Oracle home:
Notes:
|
On UNIX and Linux:
% $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch napply
On Windows:
patch.bat napply
When applying the patch to an Oracle Beehive DMZ instance Oracle home, use the following command:
Note: After applying a patch, Oracle Beehive will attempt to restart a patched instance, including DMZ instances. However, if you have not yet performed the Update hasbind File Ownership post-installation step, a DMZ instance may be unable to use privileged ports. In this case, shut down the DMZ instance, and restart it after performing post-installation steps. |
On UNIX and Linux:
% $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch napply
On Windows:
patch.bat napply
When applying the patch to an Oracle Beehive Coexistence Connector Oracle home, use the following command:
patch.bat apply -post -password <oc4jadmin password > -opatch_post_end
The value of <oc4jadmin password> is the password initially entered for the OC4J admin account when you installed the Oracle Beehive Coexistence Connector in this deployment
Be sure to repeat all steps in this procedure on each Oracle Beehive server in your deployment.
After performing the installation, perform the steps in the following sections, where applicable:
Apply Patch to Oracle Database 11.1.0.7.x on Certain Locales
Migrate Data from DENY_ALL Groups to Folders With Private Sensitivity
Bug 9948554. Due to database bug 8481520, after installing Oracle Beehive 2.0.1.3.0 patch set, customers using Oracle DB version 11.1.0.7.x who are installing on French, German, Italian, Spanish, or Portuguese (Brazilian) locales should install an Oracle Database patch.
On Linux x86, x86-64, and Oracle Solaris on SPARC (64-bit), download and install the patch for Bug 8481520.
On Windows or other operating systems, contact Oracle Support for the necessary patch.
On Linux and UNIX Oracle Beehive servers, if your $ORACLE_HOME/beehive/bin/hasbind file was owned by root (in order to use privileged ports) before applying this patch, be sure to change it back to ownership by the root user. For example, you could execute the following commands using an account with superuser privileges:
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/beehive/bin $ chown root hasbind $ chmod a+x hasbind $ chmod a+s hasbind
See Also: For more information about thehasbind file and reasons for modifying it, see "Modifying Oracle Beehive Ports using Privileged Port Numbers" in Chapter 5, "Managing Oracle Beehive Services" in the Oracle Beehive Administrator's Guide. |
After you install the Oracle Beehive 2.0.1.3.0 Cumulative Patch Set, you can re-enable fast validation using the following commands:
ALTER SYSTEM RESET "_disable_fast_validate" SCOPE=SPFILE SID='*'; ALTER SYSTEM SET "_disable_fast_validate"=FALSE SCOPE=MEMORY SID='*';
If, and only if, you installed this patch on Oracle Beehive 2.0.1.2.1, since the patch involves schema cloning, you must run the post_upgrade_db_actions.pl script.
If you installed this patch on Oracle Beehive 2.0.1.2.0 or earlier, you do not need to run this script.
Note: When you enter the<CONNECT_STRING> argument for the perl script, you must enclose it in double-quotes. |
For complete instructions, see "Running Perl Script post_upgrade_db_actions.pl," in Chapter 12, "Upgrading Oracle Beehive Overview" of the Oracle Beehive Installation Guide for your platform (Chapter 13 in the Windows guide).
Bug 9722573. After applying this patch, you must run a SQL script to clean up group membership data in UDS. Log in to your Oracle Beehive database using SQL+Plus as the current BEE_CODE user, and run the script uds_post_upgrade_seed.sql. The script is located in the following folder:
BEEHIVE_HOME/beehive/tmp/patch/9553017
After the patch is successfully applied, upgrade the inventory version of Oracle Beehive components:
Navigate to the upgrade inventory script in the following location:
<extracted_patch_location>/9553017/custom/scripts
Extract the ZIP file containing a script to a folder on your local file system:
In Oracle Beehive instances, extract the files from the following .zip:
BeehiveVersionUpgradeTo20130.zip
In Oracle Beekeeper instances, extract the files from the following .zip:
BeekeeperVersionUpgradeTo20130.zip
A subdirectory will be created containing the script
Run the shell script as follows:
In Oracle Beehive instances:
For Linux and UNIX: % BeehiveVersionUpgradeTo20130.sh <PATH_TO_ORACLE_HOME> or for Windows: % BeehiveVersionUpgradeTo20130.bat <PATH_TO_ORACLE_HOME>
In Oracle Beehive DMZ and Coexistence Connector instances:
For UNIX and Linux: % BeehiveVersionUpgradeTo20130.sh <PATH_TO_ORACLE_HOME> or for Windows: % BeehiveVersionUpgradeTo20130_DMZ_COEX.bat <PATH_TO_ORACLE_HOME>
In Oracle Beekeeper instances:
For UNIX and Linux: % BeekeeperVersionUpgradeTo20130.sh <PATH_TO_ORACLE_HOME> or for Windows: % BeekeeperVersionUpgradeTo20130.bat <PATH_TO_ORACLE_HOME>
Where <PATH_TO_ORACLE_HOME> is the path of the Oracle home (Oracle Beehive or Oracle Beekeeper) that you are upgrading
Repeat steps 1 through 3 on all Oracle Beehive and Oracle Beekeeper instances whose inventories need to be updated to 2.0.1.3.0
To verify that the inventory on an instance has been updated, perform the following steps:
Navigate to the following directory:
% cd <Updated_Beekeeper_ORACLE_HOME>/oui/bin or % cd <Upgraded_Beehive_ORACLE_HOME>/oui/bin
Start Oracle Universal Installer by invoking the runInstaller in this directory:
% ./runInstaller or, on Windows: % setup.exe
In the Oracle Universal Installer interface, click Installed Products. An inventory window will open
In the inventory window, you can see all of the Oracle home names on the current host. Expand your Oracle Beehive or Oracle Beekeeper name by clicking on the plus (+) just before it. Confirm that the version number is now Beehive Release 2 2.0.1.3.0 or Oracle Beekeeper 2.0.1.3.0
To confirm the versions of other subcomponents, expand Oracle Beehive or Oracle Beekeeper 2.0.1.3.0 by clicking on the plus (+) just before it. Traverse through the list of subcomponents and confirm the following upgraded components:
On Oracle Beehive:
Oracle Beehive Release 2 Configuration 2.0.1.3.0 Oracle Beehive Release 2 Database Support 2.0.1.3.0 Oracle Beehive Release 2 Binaries 2.0.1.3.0 Oracle Beehive Release 2 Libraries 2.0.1.3.0 Oracle Beehive Release 2 Services 2.0.1.3.0 Oracle Beehive Release 2 Configuration Wizard 2.0.1.3.0 Oracle Commuication and Messaging Services 2.0.1.3.0 Oracle Beehive Release 2 Oneoffs 2.0.1.3.0
On Windows, also confirm:
Oracle Collaboration Coexistence Gateway 2.0.1.3.0
On Oracle Beekeeper:
Oracle Beekeeper 2.0.1.3.0 Oracle Beekeeper OC4J 2.0.1.3.0 Oracle Beehive Release 2 Oneoffs 2.0.1.3.0 Oracle Beehive Release 2 Configuration Wizard 2.0.1.3.0
The Oracle Beehive 2.0.1.3.0 Cumulative Patch Set includes a refactoring of the Oracle Beehive Search Service. This is a substantial change which may require additional post-configuration steps in the following areas:
If you installed this patch on Oracle Beehive 2.0.1.2.0 or earlier, the existing search index is erased during patching. As a result, after the upgrade any search operation on existing data will return no results.
If you installed this patch on Oracle Beehive 2.0.1.2.1 and used the Zero Downtime Upgrade (ZDU) method, search indexing is suspended during the patching process. Changes in the system that occured during patching are not indexed.
You can build a new search index of existing artifacts, using a new beectl command, beectl add_search_recovery_scope:
beectl add_search_recovery_scope --scope <recovery_scope> [--entity_type <entity_type>] [--start_date <start_date>] [--end_date <end_date>]
Where:
<recovery_scope> is the identifier for a level of scope for the utility to crawl for indexing, such as enterprise, organization, workspace, or folder.
<entity_type> indicates searchable entitie types. You can specify this option more than once to indicate mulitple entities types to index. If you omit this option, all entity types are searched and indexed.
<start_date> recovers search index for entities modified on or after this date. If not specified, 30 days before the present will be used as the start date. Permitted value is a string in ISO8601 date-time format. Valid formats are yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SS'Z', yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SS, yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z', yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss, yyyy-MM-dd'Z', yyyy-MM-dd.
<end_date> recovers search index for entities modified before or on this date. If not specified, the present will be used as the end date. Use the same format as for <start_date>.
As soon as you issue an add_search_recovery_scope command, Oracle Beehive starts the background work and immediately returns an operation ID. You can use the operation ID with the beectl list_operation_statuses command to track the progress of the recovery job.
beectl list_operation_statuses --operation_status 1CF3:35AF:opst:6828B43CD3944E06A5CD425F0225CF2500000000004C
The add_search_recovery scope command will immediately add a list of all artifacts identified by the run time options to a queue of items to be indexed. Adding too many items to this queue at once will slow down the system. Oracle recommends reviewing the Recovery Crawler section of Oracle Support Note 1135054.1 prior to running the command.
To minimize performance impact, consider the following strategies:
Run the recovery crawler command during off-peak hours
Create a batch file to recover a few personal or team workspaces or a few days of email data at a time
Monitor the SS_FEEDS load (information in Oracle Support Note 1135054.1)
If you are using Oracle Secure Enterprise Search (SES) with Oracle Beehive, if you have not already done so (such as after installing the 2.0.1.2.1 patch set) you must take additional steps to configure SES integration. The following procedure provides a high-level outline of the actual configuration steps. For complete instructions, see MetaLink Note 1135054.1.
Perform the following steps to configure SES integration:
Perform the complete procedure for basic SES integration as detailed in Chapter 10, "Integrating Oracle Secure Enterprise Search 10g with Oracle Beehive" of the Oracle Beehive Integration Guide
If needed, configure your Identity Management solution with the appropriate host, port, realm, and other connection settings
If needed, create source groups (groupings of data sources, which appear as tabs above the search box)
From the SES Admin console, set up a title URL for Oracle Beehive search results by creating new search attributes, and then modifying the XSL stylesheet to include the new attributes
From the SES Admin console, add Oracle Beehive search result attributes and filtering attributes
The Oracle Beehive 2.0.1.3.0 Cumulative Patch Set removes the Change Notification Service (CNS) component and integrates the functions it formerly performed directly with the Coexistence Connector.
At any time after installing 2.0.1.2.1 Patch Set or 2.0.1.3.0 Cumulative Patch Set on all of your Oracle Beehive Coexistence Connector Oracle homes AND Oracle Beehive Coexistence Change Notification Oracle homes, you can perform the following steps to remove CNS components:
Patch ALL Oracle Beehive Coexistence Connector Oracle homes and Change Notification Service Oracle homes. You must not remove CNS components until every Coexistence Oracle home has been patched.
From CNS (or Connector+CNS) Oracle homes, run the following command to clean up CNS registrations:
$ORACLE_HOME\beehive\collabcoex_connector\coexctl.exe remove_cns_registrations
Uninstall CNS-only Oracle homes using Oracle Universal Installer.
To remove the CNS component from Connector+CNS Oracle homes:
Run the following command:
$ORACLE_HOME\beehive\collabcoex_connector\coexctl.exe uninstall_eventsink
Open the following properties file in a text editor:
$ORACLE_HOME/beehive/oobwiz/configWizard.properties
Remove the following line:
Configured=true
Save and close the file.
To provide improved security, with this patch Oracle Beehive has implemented a new access control scheme for restricting access to content at the folder level. Instead of using the DENY_ALL permission on UDS groups, you can now use the 'private' sensitivity directly on a folder. To migrate from the previous method to the new method, workspace owners must re-create affected folders.
To facilitate this process, a SQL script is provided which creates a list of all folders with the DENY_ALL group permission. After installing this patch set, you can find the script at the following location on any patched Oracle Beehive server:
$ORACLE_HOME/beehive/db/accesscontrol/src/sql/upgrades/9761524.sql
Oracle recommends performing the following steps after installing this patch, to implement the improved security model:
Using SQL+Plus, Connect to the current Beehive CODE schema
Note: To get the current code schema name, use the commandbeectl list_schemas. |
Run the provided SQL script 9761524.sql. The output lists all folders with access denied to a group. An example of typical output is shown in Example 1, below.
Notify workspace owners (listed in the output loginid and contact fields) of the folder-group combination (listed in the folderpath and groupname fields) for which Oracle recommends using the new OBEO and OBEE feature of using sensitivity to control access.
Workspace owners must re-create the affected folders using OBEO or OBEE, assign the 'private' sensitivity-only sensitivity to each folder, and then move content from the old folders to the new ones. The old folders can then be removed.
Example 1 9761524.sql Script Output
FOLDERPATH GROUPNAME WORKSPACENAME LOGINID CONTACT --------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- /Mycompany/project/INBOX Analysts April_Projects rsmith rsmith@example.com /Mycompany/reports/INBOX EXECS Executive_wksp rsmith rsmith@example.com /Mycompany/QA/INBOX QA_Engineers EngQA s.ravi s.ravi@example.com
You can write a script to generate e-mails based on this report and send collated e-mail messages to workspace owners. For example, one e-mail can be sent to rsmith@example.com indicating that the Analysts and EXECS workspaces have INBOX folders that should be re-created and assigned the 'private' sensitivity.
