Apply patch using response file ( Disabling Oracle Support)

We need to edit the below parameters in respose file to apply Oracle patch on the existed Oracle Home.

Example values :

ORACLE_HOME=/app/oracle/product/10.2/db_1
ORACLE_HOME_NAME=OraDbHome1
SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_MYORACLESUPPORT=false
DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=true

Now you can go for the runInstaller.

$ ./runInstaller -silent -responseFile /path/patchset.rsp -ignoreSysprereqs

That's it.

if you donot modify the 3 and 4 parameter , given above Then you will be encountered with below error.

SEVERE:Values for the following variables could not be obtained from the command line or response file(s):
MYORACLESUPPORT_USERNAME(MyOracleSupportUsername)
 


Tips for using parameter values  :

SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_MYORACLESUPPORT

This parameter is equivalent to the OUI window checkbox that enables users to receive security updates. ("I wish to receive security updates via My Oracle Support," followed by a My Oracle Support Password field.) This parameter enables you to set the password for My Oracle Support credentials. The default is False. If you set this to true, the user must enter a password.

MYORACLESUPPORT_PASSWORD

This parameter indicates the My Oracle Support password used in Oracle Configuration Manager (OCM) configuration. This parameter is used for validation only if the direct connection is available, or if there is a valid proxy connection (in case no direct connection is available). The default is Empty.
For information on OCM, see the Oracle® Configuration Manager Installation and Administration Guide.

 

DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES

If the direct connection is unavailable, set this parameter to false if you do not want to configure Oracle Configuration Manager, or do not want to provide any proxy details for the connection. The default is False.

If you do not set MYORACLESUPPORT_USERNAME to any value and you set this parameter to true, the Oracle Configuration Manager is not configured.
For information on the Oracle Configuration Manager, see the Oracle® Configuration Manager Installation and Administration Guide.

 

PROXY_HOST

This proxy connection server is used only if the direct connection is not available and DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=false.

 

PROXY_PORT

This proxy connection port is used only if the direct connection is not available and DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=false.

 

PROXY_USER

This proxy connection user name is used only if the direct connection is not available and DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=false.

 

PROXY_PWD

This proxy connection password is used only if the direct connection is not available and DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=false.
