MOPATCH19P_2308-70004508 step clarification

[former_member345358]

While applying OPATCH19P_2308-70004508

ls -al $IHRDBMS/bin/oradism

# temporarily change to super user

su root -c "chown `id -u` $IHRDBMS/bin/oradism && chmod u+rw $IHRDBMS/bin/oradism"

is not changing the ownership of the file $IHRDBMS/bin/oradism" to oracle while permission changes to below, should it run the mopatch and not cause any issue with patching activity. Kindly confirm

-rwxr-x---. 1 root oinstall 145920 Apr 18 13:28 /oracle/SI1/19.0.0/bin/oradism

According to official documentation:

Related to patch 35148476, added in SBP 19.19.0.0.230418 202305

For Linux x86-64 only:

Execute the following command after shutting down the database instance but before starting MOPatch:
In this script, 'oracle' is the software owner. Otherwise adapt accordingly.

# temporarily change to super user
su root -c "chown oracle:oinstall $IHRDBMS/bin/oradism && chmod 0750 $IHRDBMS/bin/oradism"

Immediately after executing MOPatch and before starting up the database instance execute the following command:

# temporarily change to super user
su root -c "chown root:oinstall $IHRDBMS/bin/oradism && chmod 4750 $IHRDBMS/bin/oradism"

Then ensure that the permissions and ownership of $IHRDBMS/bin/oradism look exactly like in the example below:

-rwsr-x--- 1 root oinstall <timestamp> $IHRDBMS/bin/oradism

For details see SAP Note 3263756 (Linux) Oracle Database 19c SBP fails during mopatch with "Cannot add write permissions for patch copy target oradism".
