Install the Patch on the Middle Tier

After you transfer and extract the contents of the patch set file (p37171708_82040_Generic.zip), you can install the patch on the middle tier. Also, you extract the contents of hdr8204_artifacts.zip file to a directory on the middle tier.

Ensure that you do the following before you install the patch on the middle tier:
  • Have read and write permissions to the directories, subdirectories, and their files where you extracted the hdr8204_artifacts.zip file on middle tier.
  • WebLogic Admin and HDR Managed servers are up and running.
  • HDR_HOME and JAVA_HOME environment variables are properly configured on the middle tier.

To install the patch on the middle tier:

  1. Before you apply the patch, take a backup of the hdr_exploded_app directory.
  2. Navigate to a weblogic directory from the directory where hdr8204_artifacts.zip is extracted.
  3. Run chmod 700 on run_mt_patch.sh.
  4. Run ./run_mt_patch.sh. When prompted enter the full path to the hdr_exploded_app directory. Example : $HDR_HOME/hdr_exploded_app . Ensure that you have read and write permissions for the hdr_exploded_app directory, including its subdirectories and files.
  5. Once the patch script (run_mt_patch.sh) completes successfully on the middle tier, run the ./update_mt_patch_release_info.sh script to update the HDR 8.2.0.4 patch release information in the HDR_RELEASE_INFO table for the middle tier.
  6. Run chmod 700 on update_mt_patch_release_info.sh.
  7. Run ./update_mt_patch_release_info.sh.
  8. The script prompts you to enter the following values:
    • Full path to the hdr_exploded_app directory.($HDR_HOME/hdr_exploded_app).
    • Full path to the HDR domain directory (Directory where HDR domain is created on WebLogic machine).
    • HDR WebLogic managed server host name.
    • HDR WebLogic managed server port number.
    • HDR WebLogic admin server username.
    • HDR WebLogic admin server user password.
You can now perform the post-installation steps.
