In this Document

Goal

Solution

Refer the options below to create a ocm response file

3) Use the OCM response file for all "opatch -silent" operations

Assume applying patch 12345

References

Applies to: Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 10.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.4 [Release 10.2 to 11.2]
Oracle Universal Installer - Version 10.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.4 [Release 10.2 to 11.2]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

This Article helps in creating the OCM response file to run opatch in silent mode
Scenario:
While installing patch in silent mode, opatch tool prompts User for OCM configuration, this makes Opatch to break the silent install process and park patch apply for User response. (And this violates silent install feature).
However, this can be solved via creating an OCM response file and pass all the parameters via this file while silent install. Opatch reads this file while installing in silent does not prompt for OCM credentials.

What is OCM (Oracle Configuration Manager?)
The Oracle Configuration Manager (OCM) is a tool which proactively monitor the customers Oracle environment and provide this information to My Oracle Support (MOS). The Data collected from the customer environment is uploaded to Oracle Customer Configuration Repository and replicates this to My Oracle Support so that customer/support can view it. Additionally MOS analyzes the Data collected and  informs respective customer about alerts and advise health checks. For more information refer Note:369619.1

SolutionPre-requirements to use  opatch silent
1) Download and install  latest opatch tool (ignore this if already one)
2) Create response file for  OCM
3) Use the OCM response file for all opatch silent application
However, If plan to use the ocm.rsp file with other OH - like, GRID, CRS, ORACLE_HOME, then please make sure this file is placed in accessible path and have 775 file permission (i.e $chmod  775 ocm.rsp)
========= refer below for detailed steps =============
1)  Download and install latest opatch tool (recommended)
Patch # 6880880
Select a Release: 10.2  -OR-  11.1 -OR-  11.2 -OR-  12.1

2) Ho to create response file for  OCM
ocm executable resides in  ($ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/ocm/bin/emocmrsp)
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
Refer  the options below to create a ocm response fileOption 1 :  Create the response file while keeping OCM turned OFF (Yes, OCM can be turned off. use this  options if you are not sure about OCM )
% export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/11.2/db1
% $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/ocm/bin/emocmrsp -no_banner -output /u02/unconfig.rsp

Do you wish to remain uninformed of security issues ([Y]es, [N]o) [N]: Y <<< type Y/Yes >>>
The OCM configuration response file (/u02/unconfig.rsp) was successfully created. <<

Option 2  : Create the response file while keep OCM turn ON / Active (Yes, OCM can be turned ON. use this  "options 1" if you are not sure about OCM )
% export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/11.2/db1
% $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/ocm/bin/emocmrsp -no_banner -output /u02/config.rsp

The OCM configuration response file (/u02/config.rsp) was successfully created.  <<<

Note1 : we can preserve the file “/u02/config.rsp” ( rename if needed)  and could be used  with other similar ORACLE_HOME/setup/machine
Note3: Also applicable to Grid home patching (opatch -auto -ocmrf instead "-silent" )

However, If plan to use the ocm.rsp file with other OH - like, GRID, CRS, ORACLE_HOME, then please make sure this file is placed in accessible path and have 775 file permission (i.e $chmod  775 ocm.rsp)

3)  Use the OCM response file for all "opatch -silent" operations  Assume applying patch 12345% cd 12345
% opatch apply -silent -ocmrf <path_to_response_file>
Example: % opatch apply -silent -ocmrf /u02/config.rsp

Additional Examples (Showing command usage for  CPU/SPU/PSU/ "opatch auto" )
1) User below for CPU/SPU apply
% opatch napply -silent -ocmrf /u02/config.rsp
2)Use below for  PSU apply
% opatch apply -silent -ocmrf /u02/unconfig.rsp
3)GRID patching command differes sightly as below
% opatch auto -ocmrf /u02/config.rsp
Note1 : "/u02/config.rsp" is a response file created in Part A
Note2 : File “/u02/config.rsp” (could be renamed )  can be used with other opatch -silent when used with other ORACLE_HOME/setup/machine, however, mention this file while invoking opatch -silent
Note3: Also applicable to Grid home patching (opatch -auto -ocmrf instead "-silent" )

However, If plan to use the ocm.rsp file with other OH - like, GRID, CRS, ORACLE_HOME, then please make sure this file is placed in accessible path and have 775 file permission (i.e $chmod  775 ocm.rsp)
