3. 3 APPLYING PATCHES FOR ORACLE APPLICATIONS 11.X DREYER’S GRAND ICE CREAM CASE STUDY In this presentation, I will detail the techniques used and offer real-life experiences while applying the interoperability patch for Oracle Applications 11.0.3. I will also review my experience while installing patches in Oracle 8i on HPUX running Oracle application 11.0.3 with server partitioning (Oracle 8.0.6.3). A detailed explanation of installing Oracle 8i, adpatch and how to use adpatch, adctrl and adadmin Oracle application utilities will also be covered.

17. 17 adpatch Adpatch is the applications utility to install patches for oracle applications. Oracle provides a patch list from time to time or you might ask for site specific patches. Adpatch can be run on both the tiers. Running adpatch on the database tier Shutdown the concurrent manager before starting the adpatch Login as the application user eg., applmgr. cd to the desired patch directory or where the patch is residing.

18. 18 adpatch APPL_TOP is set to /apps/finapps/product/11.0/r11 adpatch will make sure the APPL_TOP directory You can be notified by email if a failure occurs. Do you wish to activate this feature [Yes] ? No Please enter the batchsize [1000] : 1000

19. 19 1. Do you currently have files used for installing or upgrading the database installed in this $APPL_TOP [Yes] ? Yes 2. Do you currently have Java and HTML files for Self-Service Applications installed in this APPL_TOP [Yes] ? No 3. Do you currently have Oracle Applications forms files installed in this $APPL_TOP [Yes] ? No (On the database side there are no forms installed so say no to this option and you have to say Yes to this option in the middle tier) 4. Do you currently have concurrent program files installed in this $APPL_TOP [Yes] ? Yes

20. 20 You are about to apply a patch to the installation of Oracle Applications in your ORACLE database ‘r11' using ORACLE executables in '/apps/oracle/product/8.0.6.3'. 5. Is this the correct database [Yes] ? Yes AutoPatch needs the password for your 'SYSTEM' ORACLE schema adpatch will ask for all the schema user passwords hit enter, since the default password was not changed.

21. 21 Connecting to APPLSYS......Connected successfully. Enter the directory where your Oracle Applications patch has been unloaded The default directory is [/apps/finapps/product/11.0/patches/731338] : /apps/finapps/product/11.0/patches/731338 (this is were the patch was copied or downloaded. After downloading the patch unzip the patch in the patch directory.) [Always apply c driver first then d driver and finally g driver. in the middle tier no need to apply d driver. So c driver first and then g driver] Please enter the name of your AutoPatch driver file [patch.drv] : g731338.drv Enter the number of parallel workers [6] : 4 After the patch was done check for the log files for any errors.

22. 22 APPLYING PATCH ON MIDDLE TIER : APPLYING PATCH ON MIDDLE TIER : Shutdown the forms server for the particular instance as the applmgr using Shutdown the forms server for the particular instance as the applmgr using f45ctl stop port=9000 log=f45ctlstop.log. f45ctl stop port=9000 log=f45ctlstop.log. Run adpatch. Run adpatch. Follow the same steps from 1 to 5. You have to say Yes for 2,3,5 and No to 1,4 (since concurrent manager is running on the database side). Follow the same steps from 1 to 5. You have to say Yes for 2,3,5 and No to 1,4 (since concurrent manager is running on the database side).
