- Find the patches on Metalink under the tab "Patches & Updates"
I find it easier to click the "Recommended Patch Advisor" tab and fill in the 3 fields. This will then find all relevant patches.
- After choosing the correct product, release and platform, click on the desired patch.
- Click on and read the README to understand if there are any special circumstances.
- Click on Download to download the patch.
- Copy the zip file to a place accessible to the server to be patched. Could be directly to the server, an NFS mount etc.
- If the patch is for a Grid Infrastructure ORACLE_HOME as well as a database ORACLE_HOME, the patch commands must be run as root.
If only a database ORACLE_HOME is patched, it will be run as the software owner (eg. oracle).
Opatch
As Oracle software owner:
export ORACLE_BASE=/oracle/product export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/bin:$PATH
Get the patch zip file and unzip it to the OPatch directory
