It is very important to have 64bit unixODBC libraries path (/usr/lib64/libodbc.so) in LD_LIBRARY_PATH because we run RHEL x64 and Oracle 64-bit software.
Step 6 –
Create init<sid>.ora. In my case, I will call this dg4odbc (initdg4odbc.ora). The content should be like below.
HS_DB_NAME = H1X
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = H1X <===== This is the DSN name that comes from step 2 /etc/odbc.ini

In this article, we are going to see steps used to apply the latest Oracle 19c Database Release Update 19.9.0.0.201020 (Patch 31771877) The Environment is a single instance database.
Review readme file on Patch 31771877 – Database Release Update 19.9.0.0.201020Download patch p31771877_190000_Linux-x86-64.zipMake sure the opatch version is minimum 12.2.0.1.19
Step:-1 Download the Patch from oracle support
p31771877_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip
p6880880_200000_Linux-x86-64.zip
Step:-2 Copied the patch to DB Server
[oratest@oracle ~]$ mkdir patch[oratest@oracle ~]$ ls[oratest@oracle ~]$ cd patch/[oratest@oracle ~]$ ls -lrth -rwxrwxr-x. 1 oratest oratest 116M Oct 21 10:55-x86-64.zip -rwxrwxr-x. 1 oratest oratest 1.6G Oct 21 11:23 p6880880_210000_Linux-x86-64.zip
Step:-3 Upgrade Opatch Tool from 12.2.0.1.17 to 12.2.0.1.
[oratest@oracle ~]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME
[oratest@oracle ~]$ ls
[oratest@oracle ~]$ ./opatch version
OPatch Version: 12.2.0.1.17
OPatch succeeded
[oratest@oracle ~]$ cd /home/oratest/patch
[oratest@oracle ~]$ ls
[oratest@oracle ~]$cp p6880880_200000_Linux-x86-64.zip
/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1
[oratest@oracle ~]$ cd /app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1
[oratest@oracle ~]$pwd
/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1
Step:-4 Check Patches status before applying using the below query
SET LINESIZE 500
SET PAGESIZE 1000
SET SERVEROUT ON
SET LONG 2000000
COLUMN action_time FORMAT A12
COLUMN action FORMAT A10
COLUMN comments FORMAT A30
COLUMN description FORMAT A60
COLUMN namespace FORMAT A20
COLUMN status FORMAT A10
SELECT TO_CHAR(action_time, ‘YYYY-MM-DD’) AS action_time,action,status,
description,patch_id FROM sys.dba_registry_sqlpatch ORDER by action_time;
Identifying Invalid Objects before patching
SQL> select owner,object_type,object_name,status from dba_objects where status='INVALID';
no row selected.

Here I am going to upgrade steps of Oracle Database Home 19c from 19.3 to 19.9 within Oracle Linux 8.2 The patch is 31771877 – Database Release Update 19.9.0.0.201020Prerequisites: “You must use the OPatch utility version 12.2.0.1.19 or later to apply this patch.” from READ ME of the Patch 31771877 Checking current ORACLE_HOME – OPATCH Version:
[oracle@db101:USA] ./opatch version
OPatch Version: 12.2.0.1.17
OPatch succeeded.
Hope everyone is aware of how to upgrade the opatch utility. We need to take a backup of the existing patch and replace our new downloaded opatch in the ORACLE_HOME location.
Step 1: Install OPatch utility “6880880”:
Backup the Old OPatch utility
[oracle@db101:USA] cd [oracle@db101:USA]ORACLE_HOME
[oracle@db101:USA] mv OPatch/ OPatch_backup
Now Its upgraded to Oracle Database Home 19.9 version. Thank you for giving your valuable time to read the above information.
