Apply Mandatory Patches

After the software-only install, you must apply patches on the ORACLE_HOME location where you installed Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure 12.2.1.4.

All patches are available in the same place from where you downloaded the Oracle BI Applications software.
  1. Copy the patches to a location, unzip them, and apply them using the instructions in the patch README file.
  2. Set ORACLE_HOME as the parent of product home.

    For example, setenv ORACLE_HOME/scratch/biapps/Middleware/ORACLE_HOME

    Don't set it as /scratch/biapps/Middleware/Oracle_home/odi.

  3. Run the $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch apply <patch dir> command for all individual mandatory patches available in all the sub directories.
  4. Verify each patch log and ensure that you see the “OPatch Succeeded” message.
  5. Run the $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory command, take output in a file, and verify that each patch number appears in that file as applied.
