Last updated on JULY 08, 2024

Applies to:

Oracle Fusion Middleware - Version 10.1.2.2.0 to 10.1.2.3.0 [Release AS10gR2]
IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-bit)
 


Symptoms

After applying OracleAS 10g Patch Set 2 (10.1.2.2) or Patch Set 3 (10.1.2.3),  the SQL*Plus banner still shows version 10.1.0.4.2, yet the Oracle Database client should have been updated to version 10.1.0.5 as a result of this upgrade.

<Note 329361.1> states, "The 10.1.0.5.0 Database client is automatically installed on Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.x instances that do not actually contain the Oracle Database".

The installation logs show no errors, indicating a successful installation. The make log from the installation shows that the SQL*Plus executable was modified:


The timestamp of the file $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus is unchanged from before the upgrade showing SQL*Plus executable was not changed by make.
