Apply patches Oracle Apps EBS R12.2.X
(Online Patching Using ADOP Utility)
Introduction:
As we know
that applying patch in ORACLE EBS R12.2.X
is different than R12.1.X. SO From
R12.2.0 onward oracle has introduced online patching functionality called ADOP.
ADO: Stands for Application DBA Online Patching and Introduced in EBS R12.2. The adop utility is used to apply
patches to Oracle E-Business Suite without significant system downtime.
Oracle EBS
12.2 introduces Online Patching, a new feature that seriously reduces the
downtime that was needed in previous releases for application of Release Update
Packs (RUPs), Critical Patch Updates (CPUs), and other patches and bug fixes of different kinds.
EBS R12.2.X have are 3 File System Installed.
1. FS1 – RUN_EDITION:
Production file system that is used by online users when system is being patched.
2. FS2 – PATCH_EDITION:
Exact copy of production (fs1) used by the patching tools. Changes do not affect the running application (RUN_EDITION).
When patching is completed and we do CUTOVER, then patching tool swaps the FS1 and FS2 file systems. It means, FS2 file system will become FS1, which will be access by the users.
3. FS-NE_Non-Edition:
This is a non-edition file system which stores data that is stored in a file system like log file, report file and patch top files.
