Let us see how to apply Oracle Patches in Windows environment using OPatch.

In this post, let us apply latest Bundle patch for SOA12c

Before we patch

Download latest Bundle Patch from Oracle Support Web Site. As of this post,  the filename is p21885138_121300_Generic.zip(SOA 12.1.3.0.4 Bundle Patch)

If needed, download latest OPatch software from Oracle Support Web Site.

Shutdown SOA Server

Unzip the Bundle Patch contents to a folder. (e.g D:\PatchRoot)

Open a command prompt as an administrator

cmd.exe -Run as Administrator
cmd.exe -Run as Administrator

Navigate to the directory under the patch root directory. (e.gD:\PatchRoot\21885138).

Add OPatch binary in Windows Path.

    1. What error you are getting ?

      Did the patching process went through fine?

      Also, when this post was made, 12.2.1 was not released and 21885138 was the latest patch for 12.1.3 at that time.
