Learn to use the uploaded files to create a custom patch that you can apply to an environment.

Patch File Naming Format

To be deployed using the standard Oracle Enterprise Manager patching process, the patch file is generated using the following naming convention:

p<numeric_value>_<cust_short_name>_<ebs_version>_cmli.zip

where

<numeric_value> is an automatically generated number,

<cust_short_name> is the short name for your organization in the Packager repository,

<ebs_version> is the Oracle E-Business Suite release number,

cmli indicates that this is a CEMLI patch, to differentiate it from standard Oracle patches.

For example, this CEMLI patch name uses the standard format:

10000001418_Oracle_11i_cmli.zip

where

10000001418 is the automatically generated number,

Oracle is a short name for the organization,

11i is the Oracle E-Business Suite release number,

cmli indicates that this is a CEMLI patch.
