(4) Apply CUP patches

• Apply the Consolidated Upgrade Patch (CUP) for Release 12.2.0 (Patch
30399970:12.2.0) in pre-installation mode on the Run Edition File System.
• Note: Before applying Patch 30399970:12.2.0 for the latest CUP in pre-
installation mode:
• if you have applied any other patch previously in pre-installation mode
and do not intend to merge it with 12.2.0 upgrade driver u10124646.drv,
clean up the directory /admin//preinstall on run file system after taking
the backup of the current directory.

cd 30399970

adpatch preinstall=y

(5) Apply Other Important patches in Pre-install mode

• Refer to My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 1448102.2 for the

Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 Pre-install Patches Report;
• Download and install the latest version of the Oracle E-Business Suite
Preinstall Patches Report zip file for your target release. The reports are
updated about every other month to identify any new Oracle E-Business
Suite preinstall patches that have been released since the previous
version of the report.
• This report helps you determine what preinstall patches you should apply
for a smooth Release 12.2 upgrade, in addition to the latest Release 12.2
CUP. Please review the guidelines in the Selection Recommendation
section and download the resulting patches. Apply the patches in
preinstall mode to the Release 12.2 file system that was installed using
the Rapid Install wizard. Then merge the corresponding drivers with the
Release 12.2 main upgrade driver. Then follow the instructions in the
Release 12.2 upgrade guide to use the newly merged Release 12.2
upgrade driver to upgrade your instance to Release 12.2.

Selection Recommendation
 Author – A.Kishore
http://www.appsdba.info

• We strongly recommend that you apply all patches categorized under

“Upgrade Script Failure” and “Performance Fix” at the Oracle E-Business
Suite level. You can obtain the list of these patches by selecting “E
Business Suite (EBS)” from the Product Family list of values and reviewing
the sections “Upgrade Script failure – EBS” and “Performance issue –
EBS”.
• We recommend that functional analysts review the patches categorized
under “Data Corruption Fix” and “Upgrade Integrity Fix” and apply the
patches in these categories for each product or functional area you have
implemented within Oracle E-Business Suite. Choose the appropriate
product family name in the “Product Family” list of values and review the
patches listed under the sections “Upgrade Integrity Fix” and “Data
Corruption” in the right frame.

Apply 12.2 American English upgrade patch driver

(6) Apply Main Upgrade Driver for R12.2.0

(i) Merge the patch drivers in $APPL_TOP/admin/$TWO_TASK/preinstall

directory with the 12.2.0 upgrade driver
$AU_TOP/patch/115/driver/u10124646.drv

Attention: All of the patch driver files located under

$APPL_TOP/admin//preinstall are merged with the 12.2.0 upgrade driver
/patch/115/driver/u10124646.drv. Therefore, carefully evaluate the content of
the directory – /admin//preinstall and retain only those patch drivers including
u16595191.drv ; it is intended to be merged with 12.2.0 upgrade driver –
u10124646.drv

(ii) Merging patch drivers in Run File System’s /admin//preinstall with

Enable online patching

Verify that the latest patches have been applied to the database and application tier

The Oracle E-Business Suite Technology Codelevel Checker (ETCC) utility provides two scripts
you can run to help ensure you have the necessary database and application tier bugfixes installed
on your Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 system. Oracle strongly recommends the use of this
utility to ensure that all required database and application tier bugfixes have been installed.

You can download ETCC from My Oracle Support (patch 17537119). ETCC maps missing
bugfixes to the default corresponding patches and displays them in a patch recommendation
summary. If your Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 installation has additional patches
installed as well as the recommended patches, then you may need to install a merge patch from
Oracle Support. As well as installation instructions and basic commands, the README for this
patch includes a number of usage scenarios and examples so should be carefully reviewed before
running ETCC.

Create below file to avoid prompting while applying patches using OPatch

Run the Online Patching Enablement - Readiness Reports

Create the online patching log file location and set it as the current directory

mkdir $LOG_HOME/appl/op
cd $LOG_HOME/appl/op

Run the following Readiness reports:

ADZDPSUM.sql
Provides a summary of the schemas that will be editioned and also schemas with objects that
depend on E-Business Suite code that is recommended to be editioned. You can register these
schemas with the application by running the commands that will be listed in the last section of this
report. Oracle recommends that you run this report again after the custom schemas are registered
with the application. You should run ADZDPSUM.sql repeatedly to handle dependent schemas until
no further EBR violations are reported.

Note: Enter the system password when prompted. You can ignore APPS_NE, and ODM schemas
which may appear in section 2 of the report.

sqlplus system/manager @$AD_TOP/sql/ADZDPSUM.sql

mv adzdpsum.txt adzdpsum_pre_dbprep.txt

ADZDPMAN.sql

Lists objects with different categories of violations to EBR rules that must be fixed prior to running
the enablement process to avoid errors during this process. Oracle recommends that you run this
after all custom schemas are registered with the application according to instructions in the above
report ADZDPSUM.sql.

Note: Enter the system password when prompted.

sqlplus system/manager @$AD_TOP/sql/ADZDPMAN.sql

mv adzdpman.txt adzdpman_pre_dbprep.txt
 Author – A.Kishore
http://www.appsdba.info

ADZDPAUT.sql
This report lists all the objects with violations to the EBR rules that will be fixed automatically from
the enablement process. This report is provided for information purposes and no action should be
taken from this report.
Note: Enter the system password when prompted.

sqlplus system/manager @$AD_TOP/sql/ADZDPAUT.sql

mv adzdpaut.txt adzdpaut_pre_dbprep.txt

Verify database tablespace free space

Run the following report to retrieve the current tablespace free space:

perl $AD_TOP/bin/adzdreport.pl apps

1. Select option 3 - 'Other Generic Reports'

2. Select the next option - 'Free Space in Important Tablespaces'
3.Enter the password when prompted.
4. Ensure the following:
• SYSTEM Tablespace: has a minimum of 25 GB of free space
• APPS_TS_SEED Tablespace: has a minimum of 20 GB of free space
APPS_TS_SEED is used to host all tables that have been registered as seed tables and that require
seed data storage infrastructure.
• Add necessary space to the tablespaces if they do not contain the required free Space

Run the Online Patching Enablement - Status Report

This report provides an overall status of the enabling online patching process. You can run it before,
during, and after the enablement patch is applied. At this stage,you will receive report results before
you enable online patching.

select object_name,object_type from dba_objects where object_name like 'AD_ZD%' and

status='INVALID';

1. Set the current directory to $LOG_HOME/appl/op:

cd $LOG_HOME/appl/op

2. Run the report using the following command. Ensure that you verify any invalid objects at this
stage. Take special note to ensure that all online patching objects (objects that match the pattern
'AD_ZD%') are valid:

Select status from dba_objects where object_name = 'AD_ZD_PREP'

Patch 13543062 Fails With Error: ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find
program unit being called: APPS.AD_ZD_PREP (Doc ID 2194145.1)

1. Confirm if the package 'xdb_migrateschema' exists using:

select owner, object_name from dba_objects where object_name like upper

('xdb_migrateschema');

If it does NOT exist, then use the following scripts to create it and confirm results again
using the above query:

conn / as sysdba
@?/rdbms/admin/dbmsxdbschmig.sql
@?/rdbms/admin/prvtxdbschmig.plb

2. Recompile the package AD_ZD_PREP and ensure it compiles successfully.

3. Restart the failed worker and confirm the patch completes successfully.

R12.2 How To Resolve Invalid Object APPS.AD_ZD_PREP (Doc ID 1664508.1)

Solution:

Run post install steps of every database patch

grant execute on DBMS_OBJECTS_APPS_UTILS to apps;

grant execute on sys.XDB_MIGRATESCHEMA to apps;

grant select,insert,update,delete on sys.xdb$moveSchemaTab to apps;

alter package APPS.AD_ZD_PREP compile body;

This report lists a count of the DDL statements that are required to EBR enable your environment.
The report is organized by outcome of execution: ‘Successfully Executed’, ‘Not Executed’, and ‘Failed
Execution’. At the end of the patch application the report should have a zero count in the sections:
‘Not Executed’ and ‘Failed Execution’. If the report contains ‘Not Executed’ and ‘Failed Execution’
items, then report these failures to Oracle Support. You will be asked to provide the output from the
report, the patch log and all worker logs, and the online patching enablement status report output. If
there is any worker failure during the Online Enablement patch, you should not ignore or skip the
failed error. The issue should be addressed before restarting the worker. Ignoring or skipping the
error can cause database corruption.
