Installing the patches to weblogic server using Oracle Smart Update

Installing the patches to weblogic server using Oracle Smart Update

Installing the patches to weblogic server using Oracle Smart Update:
Oracle Smart Update tool help us to apply and manage the patches for weblogic server.

As of Smart Update 3.3.0, the Get Patches tab has been removed, and you can no longer use Smart Update to download patches, service packs, maintenance packs, or version upgrades. You must first download the appropriate patch or patches directly from My Oracle Support. Once downloaded, you can use Smart Update to apply the patches.

Smart Update 3.3.0 no longer prompts you to register for security updates from Oracle Configuration Management (OCM).

The version can be verified from Help -> About.

This blog will explain the steps to install the patches to a weblogic server using Oracle Smart Update.

  • Download the patch through metalink using the patch id or bug no.
  • Uncompress patch zip file to $MWHOME/utills/bsu/cache_dir (If the cache_dir folder is not available then create the same)


  •  Launch the Oracle Smart Update Tool (bsu.cmd) from $MWHOME\utils\bsu, this will list all the applied patchs and all those patches that are ready for installation.

  • Click on Apply to install the corresponding patch, the tool verify the environment for the conflicts.

  • Click on OK once the patch validation is completed.Once the patch is applied successfully the patch will be listed under applied patches

  • Restart the servers

·         Preparing to Install Oracle WebLogic Server Patch Set Update 10.3.6.0.160419
·         -----------------------------------------------------------------------
·          
·         - WebLogic Server Patch Set Update (PSU) can be applied on a per-domain basis
·           (or on a more fine-grained basis), Oracle recommends that PSU be applied on an installation-wide basis.
·           PSU applied to a WebLogic Server installation using this recommended practice
·           affect all domains and servers sharing that installation.
·         - Login as same "user" with which the component being patched is installed.
·         - Stop all WebLogic servers.
·         - Remove any previously applied WebLogic Server Patch Set Update and associated overlay patches
·          
·          
·         Installing Oracle WebLogic Server Patch Set Update 10.3.6.0.160419
·         -------------------------------------------------------------
·          
·          - unzip p22505423_1036_Generic.zip to {MW_HOME}/utils/bsu/cache_dir or any local directory
·            
·            Note: You must make sure that the target directory for unzip has required write and executable permissions
·                  for "user" with which the component being patched is installed.
·          
·          - Navigate to the {MW_HOME}/utils/bsu directory.
·          - Execute bsu.sh -install -patch_download_dir={MW_HOME}/utils/bsu/cache_dir -patchlist={PATCH_ID} -prod_dir={MW_HOME}/{WL_HOME}
·          
·            Where, WL_HOME is the path of the WebLogic home
·          
·            Reference: BSU Command line interface

·         Interim Patch for Bug: 13801175
·         ==============================
·          
·         Date: Tue Feb 25 18:03:46 2014
·         ---------------------------------
·         Platform Patch for   : Generic
·         Product Patched      : Oracle SOA Suite
·         Product Version      : 11.1.1.6.0 + patch 16702086(mandatory)
·         Auto Enabled         : No
·          
·         This document describes how to install the interim patch for
·         bug # 13801175. It includes the following sections:
·          
·           Section 1, "Prerequisites"
·          
·           Section 2, "Pre-Installation Instructions"
·          
·           Section 3, "Installation Instructions"
·          
·           Section 4, "Post-Installation Instructions"
·          
·           Section 5, "Deinstallation Instructions"
·          
·           Section 6, "Post Deinstallation Instructions"
·          
·           Section 7, "Bugs Fixed by This Patch"
·          
·          
·         1 Prerequisites
·         ----------------
·          
·         Ensure that you meet the following requirements before you install or
·         deinstall the patch:
·          
·         1. Before applying the non-mandatory patches, ensure that you have the
·            exact symptoms described in the bug.
·          
·         2. Review and download the latest version of OPatch 11.1.x via Bug 6880880.
·            (OPatch version 11.1.0.8.2 or higher)
·            a. Oracle recommends that all customers be on the latest version of OPatch.
·               Review the My Oracle Support note 224346.1, and follow the instructions
·               to update to the latest version if needed. Click the following link to
·               view the note:
·           
·               Note 224346.1  - Opatch - Where Can I Find the Latest Version of Opatch?
·               https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=224346.1
·          
·          
·            b. For FMW Opatch usage, refer to the document at:
·               http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e16793/opatch.htm
·          
·         3. Verify the OUI Inventory.
·            OPatch needs access to a valid OUI inventory to apply patches.
·            Validate the OUI inventory with the following commands:
·          
·            $ opatch lsinventory 
·          
·            If the command errors out, contact Oracle Support and work to validate
·            and verify the inventory setup before proceeding.
·          
·         4. Confirm the executables appear in your system PATH.
·          
·            The patching process will use the unzip and the OPatch executables. After
·            setting the ORACLE_HOME environment, confirm if the following executables
·            exist, before proceeding to the next step:
·          
·           - which opatch
·           - which unzip
·          
·            If either of these executables do not show in the PATH, correct the
·            problem before proceeding.
·          
·         5. Create a location for storing the unzipped patch. This location
·            will be referred to later in the document as PATCH_TOP.
·          
·             NOTE: On WINDOWS, the prefrred location is the drive root directory.
·             For example, "C:\PATCH_TOP" and avoid choosing locations like,
·             "C:\Documents and Settings\username\PATCH_TOP".
·             This is necessary due to the 256 characters limitation on windows    
·             platform.
·          
·          
·         2 Pre-Installation Instructions
·         -------------------------------
·          
·            - - Set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to SOA Home,
·          for example "[MW_HOME]/Oracle_SOA1" directory.
·          
·         3 Installation Instructions
·         ---------------------------
·          
·         1. Unzip the patch zip file into the PATCH_TOP.
·          
·            $ unzip -d PATCH_TOP p13801175_111167_Generic.zip
·          
·             NOTE: In WINDOWS, the unzip command might not work as this zip has
·             certain contents which passes the 256 characters limit.
·             To overcome this problem, please use alternate ZIP utility like
·             7-Zip to unzip the patch.
·          
·             For example: To unzip using 7-zip, run the command:
·                  "c:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe"  x p14302931_111154_Generic.zip
·          
·         2. Set your current directory to the directory where the patch is located.
·          
·            $ cd PATCH_TOP/13801175
·          
·         3. Run OPatch to apply the patch.
·          
·          
·                $ opatch apply
·          
·          
·         When OPatch starts, it validates the patch and makes sure that there are no
·         conflicts with the software already installed in the ORACLE_HOME.
·           OPatch categorizes two types of conflicts:
·          
·              a. Conflicts with a patch already applied to the ORACLE_HOME
·                 In this case, stop the patch installation, and contact Oracle Support
·                 Services.
·          
·              b. Conflicts with subset patch already applied to the ORACLE_HOME
·                 In this case, continue the install, as the new patch contains all the
·                 fixes from the existing patch in the ORACLE_HOME.
·
