2.2.2.2 Applying a Patch on a Single Host Using the Apply Command

To apply a patch on a single host, use the opatchauto apply command. This is the same command as opatchauto apply —analyze, except you remove the —analyze argument when you are ready to apply the patch.

This topic shows an example of using the opatchauto apply command to apply a patch to an Oracle Fusion Middleware environment on a single host.

This example assumes that:

  • The patch you have downloaded has been saved to a directory that is named for the patch number in My Oracle Support. In this case, the patch number is 15941858.

  • The user runs the OPatchAuto command from the ORACLE_HOME/OPatch directory and includes the location of the patch (PATCH_HOME) as an argument to the command.

Note:

When you run the opatchauto apply command, make a note of the session id (for example, EKZR) in the command output. This will simplify the rollback process if you decide to roll back the patch later.

opatchauto apply PATCH_HOME -instance DOMAIN_HOME -wallet wallet_location -walletPassword password_ifneeded -wls-admin-host weblogic_adminserver_host:port

For example:

opatchauto apply /home/oracle/patches/15941858 -instance /home/oracle/config/domains/exampledomain -wallet /tmp/samplewallet 
-walletPassword password -wls-admin-host examplehost.exampledomain.com:7001
