Running a Patching Procedure (Release 12.1 and earlier)
Oracle provides you with patching procedures that are best practices for patching
Oracle E-Business Suite. Procedures created by Oracle cannot be edited, but they can be
copied using the "Create Like" feature so that you can customize the procedure to fit
your environment.
To run a patching procedure, or create a patch run, you can do one of the following:
• From the Change Management Page, choose "Patch Oracle E-Business Suite" or
your customized patching procedure from the "Start a Patch" list and click the Go
button.
• From the Patch Manager home page, select "New Run" in the Patch Runs region.
Note that you can also copy an existing patch run. From the Home page, select the
patch run you wish to copy and click the Create Like icon.
Note: In the Patch Run interview you can use the Back button to go
back to a previous step; however, entered values on the current page
will be lost.
