2 Prerequisites
----------------
Ensure that you meet the following requirements before you install or
deinstall the patch:
1. Before applying the non-mandatory patches, ensure that you have the
exact symptoms described in the bug.
3. Oracle Fusion Middleware 12.2.1 products are installed with OPatch NextGen 13.3
to apply interim patches.
The OPatch utility should be updated over time to resolve known issues.
ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch version
Checking Patch 6880880, if a new version is available , download "OUI NextGen 13.3"
for your platform.
For Oracle Fusion Middleware OPatch usage, refer to the URL below which
redirects to the latest FMW 12c document:
"Oracle Fusion Middleware Patching With OPatch"
http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=fmw122100&id=OPATC
Note:
All OPatch commands should be run with -jre option.
Make sure the JDK version you use is the certified version for your product.
If the command errors out, contact Oracle Support and work to validate
and verify the inventory setup before proceeding.
The patching process will use the unzip and the OPatch executables. After
setting the ORACLE_HOME environment, confirm if the following executables
exist, before proceeding to the next step:
- opatch
- unzip
If either of these executables do not show in the PATH, correct the
problem before proceeding.
3 Pre-Installation Instructions
-------------------------------
1. Set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to the directory where you have
installed ORACLE WEBLOGIC SERVER.
4 Installation Instructions
---------------------------
NOTE: On WINDOWS, the unzip command has a limitation of 256 characters in the path
name.
If you encounter this, please use an alternate ZIP utility like 7-Zip to unzip the
patch.
2. Set your current directory to the directory where the patch is located.
$ cd PATCH_TOP/27438258
$ opatch apply
Note:
-----
When OPatch starts, it validates the patch and makes sure that there are no
conflicts with the software already installed in the ORACLE_HOME.
In case of opatch conflict, you will see a warning message similar to the one
mentioned below:
If a merge of the new patch (XXXX) and the conflicting patch(es) ( YYYY) is
required,contact Oracle Support Services and request a Merged patch.
You must stop the patch installation and contact oracle support on how to proceed.
