Downloading a WebLogic Server patch

You can optionally download a WebLogic Server patch for the upgrade script to apply when it runs.

You can only apply one patch when upgrading. If the patch fails, the upgrade script will remove it and continue running. For more information on patching WebLogic Server, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Patching with OPatch.

To download a WebLogic Server patch:

  1. Within the upgrade source directory, create a new directory called WLSPatches.
    Don't change the name of this directory or the upgrade script won't recognize it.
  2. Go to My Oracle Support and log in.
  3. On the Patches & Updates tab, find and download the patch you want to apply.
  4. Move all ZIP files associated with the patch to <upgrade_source_dir>/WLSPatches.
    Don't extract the files. The upgrade script will do this when it runs.

Next, you must obtain the Hadoop client libraries.
