Error when trying to use GLM in ORE

If you have tried to use the ore.odmGLM function in ORE and some other functions in ORE and you are using the Oracle 12.1.0.2 Database you will be getting an error something like the following in R.

> GLMmodel <- ore.odmGLM(AFFINITY_CARD ~., ANALYTIC_RECORD)
Error in .oci.GetQuery(conn, statement, data = data, prefetch = prefetch,  : 
  ORA-29400: data cartridge error
ORA-40024: solution to least squares problem could not be found
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_DATA_MINING", line 2153
ORA-06512: at line 1

or you get something like the following when using ore.glm

Error in .External(C_pt, q, df, lower.tail, log.p) :
  NULL value passed as symbol address

Similarly if you are using these functions with embedded R execution when the R code is warpped in SQL, you will see similar errors.

What you need to do is to download and install the stand alond Patch 20173897.

Alternatively this patch is included in the latest Oracle 12.1.2 Database patch.
