Resolving Patch Conflicts

If the patches in the patch plan conflict among themselves or with patches in the Oracle home, then you can do one of the following to resolve the conflict:

  • Request for a merge patch of the conflicting patches. To do so, click Request Patch on the Validation page.

  • Roll back the conflicting patches in the Oracle home and forcefully apply the incoming patches. To do so, on the Deployment Options page, in the Advanced Patching Options section, from the Conflict Resolution list, select Forcefully apply incoming patches.

  • Skip the conflicting patches. To do so, on the Deployment Options page, in the Advanced Patching Options section, from the Conflict Resolution list, select Skip conflicting patches.
