Summary :
This SAP Note is applicable specifically to Oracle Database 10g Release 1. It highlights the importance of the Oracle Cluster Synchronization Service (CSS) for installations requiring background services for managing node membership. However, in the SAP environment with Oracle 10.1, the CSS is not necessary unless using Automatic Storage Management (ASM) which isn't supported here. For patch or upgrade activities, the CSS process must be stopped, typically requiring root access on UNIX systems or through service management on Windows. The note provides detailed instructions for both stopping and permanently removing the CSS to prevent issues during upgrades or patch installations. The CSS is not auto-installed in subsequent Oracle releases starting from 10.2. Recommendations and steps for managing the CSS are thoroughly detailed to ensure compliance and smooth operation during maintenance activities.
