Associating Additional Targets to a Patch in a Patch Plan

To associate additional targets to a patch in a patch plan, use one of the following approaches:

Approach 1

  1. From the Enterprise menu, select Provisioning and Patching, then select Patches & Updates.

  2. On the Patches & Updates page, in the Plans region, select a Patch Plan to which the patch belongs. From the context menu that appears, select View.

    Note:

    If you do not see the Plans region, click Customize Page from the top-right corner, and then drag the Plans region to the page.

  3. In the Create Plan Wizard, on the Patches page, Click Add Patch. The Edit Search window appears.

  4. In the Edit Search window, search the patch to which you want to associate additional targets.

  5. Select the patch that you want to add, then click Add to This Plan. The Add Patch To Plan window appears.

  6. In Add Patch To Plan window, search and select the additional targets that you want to associate with the patch, and then, click Add Patch to Plan.

    Note:

    Ensure that you select only homogeneous targets.

    For Oracle WebLogic Server, using a single patch plan, you can patch only one domain. However, if it is a shared domain, then the admin servers and Managed Servers running on different domains, which are shared with the domain being patched, are automatically added into the same plan.

    For Oracle WebLogic Server, if you have deployed the Enterprise Manager for Oracle Fusion Middleware 12.1.0.4 plug-in, you can add any number of WebLogic domain targets to a single patch plan. If you have not deployed the Enterprise Manager for Oracle Fusion Middleware 12.1.0.4 plug-in, you can add only a single WebLogic domain target to a single patch plan. For information about how to deploy a new plug-in or upgrade an existing plug-in, see Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Administrator's Guide.

    If the WebLogic domain target that you add to a patch plan is a shared domain, then all the Administration Servers and the Managed Servers that are running on the domains that are shared with the domain being patched are automatically added into the same patch plan.

Approach 2

  1. From the Enterprise menu, select Provisioning and Patching, then select Patches & Updates.

  2. On the Patches & Updates page, in the Patch Recommendations region, click the graph.

    Note:

    If you do not see the Patch Recommendations region, click Customize Page from the top-right corner, and then drag the Patch Recommendations region to the page.

  3. On the Patch Recommendations page, select a patch.

  4. From the context menu, select Add to Plan, then Add to Existing, and select the plan you want to add the patch to.

    The patch you selected and the target it is associated with get added to the existing plan.

Approach 3

  1. From the Enterprise menu, select Provisioning and Patching, then select Patches & Updates.
  2. On the Patches & Updates page, in the Search region, search a patch you want to add to the patch plan.

    Note:

    If you do not see the Search region, click Customize Page from the top-right corner, and then drag the Search region to the page.

  3. On the Patch Search page, click the patch to view its details.
  4. On the patch details page, click Add to Plan, then Add to Existing, and select the plan you want to add the patch to.

    The patch you selected and the target it is associated with get added to the existing plan.
