    Cool Alert 68: Oracle Security Update ... and its problems

    Hello,

    the OS is Linux Red Hat 8.0
    the DB is Oracle 9.2.0.5 (since yesterday)

    now I want to apply the Oracle security patch:

    -------------------------------------
    cd 3835964/files/Apache

    ./patch.csh -m sysobjects -p change_on_install -o /opt/oracle/product/92 -c test

    Error: DB connection failed using sys/*****@test

    -------------------------------------

    the connect with:
    oracle> sqlplus /nolog
    SQL> conn sys/******@test as sysdba
    is working.


    could you imagine what the reason is ?

    Christian

    The reason is very obvious: in 9i and above it is no longer possible to connect as SYS without using "AS SYSDBA" option.

    ... now I try an another path ...

    I changed as "oracle" in the directory where the unziped patch is and started the following:

    oracle> pwd
    .../unziped/
    oracle> ll
    3835964

    oracle> opatch apply -report

    ... and got the following error:

    The patch directory area must be a number.

    Could any body help?
