SAP Note 97953 - UNIX: Relinking of the Oracle executables

Component : Oracle -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/97953 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note details the process for relinking Oracle executables on Unix platforms due to OS patch integration which might require executable updates to maintain operational consistency and leverage recent security patches. It’s advised that Oracle executables should be relinked post OS patching. On Unix, specific conditions must be met before initiating the relinking process, including shutting down the Oracle database and setting environment variables with correct permissions. Relinking is performed using makefiles preset with paths and dependencies in Oracle’s directory structure. Various options are provided for relinking individual or group components via designated commands outlined for different Oracle operational components and tools. Windows platforms are excluded as their executables are delivered ready for use and relinking isn’t applicable.
