Below are step-by-step demonstrations about the apply patches in Weblogic.


Create Directory PATCH (It’s optional)

[oracle@DBGURU u02]$ mkdir -p /u02/PATCH


Go to the patch directory.

[oracle@DBGURU ~]$ cd /u02/PATCH


Copy Weblogic patch from /tmp.

[oracle@DBGURU PATCH]$ cp /tmp/p*


Check opatch version.

[oracle@DBGURU PATCH]$ $MW_HOME/OPatch/opatch version
OPatch Version: 13.9.2.0.0
OPatch succeeded.


Go to the patch directory.

[oracle@DBGURU PATCH]$ pwd
/u02/PATCH

[oracle@DBGURU PATCH]$ ls -lrt
total 104220-rw-rw-r– 1 oracle oracle 46620588 Jul 15 13:10 p28186730_139422_Generic.zip

drwx—— 2 oracle oracle 103 Jul 15 13:10 pulse-J4ud4ahIBCC1


Unzip patch.

[oracle@DBGURU PATCH]$ unzip p28186730_139422_Generic.zip-- opatch version psu

[oracle@DBGURU PATCH]$ unzip p30965714_122130_Generic.zip--- weblogic psu

[oracle@DBGURU PATCH]$ ls -lrt
total 104220
drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle oracle 69 Jan 16 21:40 6880880
drwxr-x— 4 oracle oracle 67 Feb 29 10:48 30965714

-rw-rw-r– 1 oracle oracle 60098522 Jul 15 13:10 p30965714_122130_Generic.zip


Stop the Weblogic process.

Stopping Weblogic Server…
Initializing WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) …
Jython scans all the jar files it can find at first startup. Depending on the system, this process may take a few minutes to complete, and WLST may not return a prompt right away.
Exiting WebLogic Scripting Tool.
WLST lost connection to the WebLogic Server that you were connected to.
This may happen if the server was shut down or partitioned.
You will have to re-connect to the server once the server is available.
