With the Applied Patches reporting tool, you can view information about the patches applied to your system. This patch history includes information such as:
Patch number
Driver file name
Platform
APPL_TOP on which the patch was applied
Contents and language of the patch
Files changed or copied
Bug fixes included in each driver file
Whether the fix was applied successfully, or reason it was not applied
Timing information (start time, end time, elapsed time during application, restart time)
The adop utility stores patch information in the database automatically each time it successfully applies a patch. However, if the patch is not applied successfully, or when you run adop in pre-install mode, patch history is not written directly to the database, but instead is written to these patch information files:
javaupdates<YYYYMMDDhhmiss>.txt, which contains information about changes to Java files
adpsv<YYYYMMDDhhmiss>.txt, which contains information about changes to all files except Java files
Note: In the file name, hh is in 24-hour format.
Both files are located in the <APPL_TOP>/admin/<SID> directory. Each time you run adop, it checks this directory for the existence of the patch information files. If it finds them, it automatically uploads the information they contain to the patch history database. If the upload is successful, adop then deletes the files from the directory. The adop log file records whether the upload was successful or unsuccessful.
The way you run adop affects the way it stores patch history information. When you apply a patch in test mode (using apply=no on the command line), adop does not write to the patch information files, and it does not upload patch history information to the database. When you apply a patch in pre-install mode (using preinstall=y on the command line), adop writes patch history information to the patch information files, and it uploads the contents of these files to the database the next time it runs. See: adop Modes.
The Applied Patches reporting tool is a Web-based utility in Oracle Applications Manager. The Simple Search page serves as a home page.
From this page, you can perform a simple search or access the Advanced Search page. You can use either of these pages to query the database for applied patches (the default) or to see a history of changed files. The results of either type of query appear at the bottom of the search page.
In the search results for both applied patches or file history, there is a Details column. Clicking any link in this column accesses the Patch Details page. From this page, you can go to the Timing Details page, the Files Copied page, the Bug Fixes page, or the Action Summary page.
Note: The discussion of each page contains more detail. The OAM help feature also contains information about the Applied Patches utility.
To query the patch history database for information about patches applied to your system and the files affected, log in to Oracle Applications Manager and choose Applied Patches from the Site Map.
Follow the instructions in Accessing Patch Wizard to access OAM. From the Applications Dashboard, click the Site Map tab.
From the Site Map, Applied Patches is on the Maintenance tab under the Patching and Utilities heading. Click the Applied Patches link to go to the Simple Search page.
From the Simple Search page, you can perform a query for applied patches or file history. Or, you can go to the Advanced Search page to perform a more detailed search.
Note: See detailed descriptions of individual pages in this chapter. See also Analyzing Applied Patches.

The Timing Reports utility provides the job history of applied patches. It captures statistics about, and job timing information for, adop and AD Administration maintenance sessions that run parallel workers. Both adop and AD Administration store information about a processing session in database tables. You can access this information, either during the session or after it is complete, through the OAM interface.
Note: You can also access job timing information during a current session or for a completed session by running adtimrpt.sql from the command line. This script creates the adt<session_id>.lst report. For more information, see: AD Job Timing Report in the Maintenance section of this book.
During a parallel session, AD utilities assign processing jobs to workers. For jobs that affect the database, job actions are grouped in phases to reduce dependencies between jobs - workers do not have to wait for another worker to complete a dependent job before completing their assigned task. See: Using Parallel Processing in the Maintenance section of this book.
The Timing Reports utility lists processing tasks and provide details about the elapsed time for phases, jobs, and sessions. The information includes:
Jobs run successfully on the first try
Failed jobs that were restarted and then run successfully
Failed jobs that were skipped
Long-running jobs
Summary information for each parallel phase
Time taken to run a job
Overall elapsed time for each session
The Timing Reports interface consists of a main page, a Timing Details page, and a View Log Files page which provides links to reports about specific maintenance session information.
From the Timing Reports main page, you can view a list of all in-progress, stopped, aborted, and completed maintenance sessions. Click the Details icon to access the Timing Details page or click the Log Files icon to access the View Log Files page.
There are two types of Timing Details reports - those associated with an adop session and those associated with an AD Administration session.
Note: The discussion of each page contains more detail. The OAM help feature also contains information about the Timing Reports.
This page contains a list of log files generated for the corresponding maintenance session.
To access the Timing Reports main page, log in to Oracle Applications Manager and choose Timing Reports from the Site Map.
Follow the instructions in Accessing Patch Wizard to access OAM. From the Applications Dashboard, click the Site Map tab.
From the Site Map, Timing Reports is on the Maintenance tab under the Patching and Utilities heading. Click the Timing Reports link to go to the main page.
There is a filter at the top of the page that allows you to narrow the contents of the list. You can filter based on the following status of the tasks: Any tasks, In-progress tasks, Completed tasks, Stopped tasks, or Aborted tasks. You can also filter by Task Name, Status, Start Date, and Run Time. Click Go to activate the filter.
Note: See descriptions of individual pages in this chapter for details. See also AD Administration in the Maintenance section of this book.
The Timing Reports main page shows information for each maintenance session.

When you access the adop Timing Details report for a stopped or in-progress task, the page defaults to display the most recently performed sub-tasks. For in-progress tasks, you can use the Refresh icon to get the latest running tasks. The Refresh icon is a picture of a page with a blue circular arrow.
