Databases Reference
In-Depth Information
In order for Enterprise Manager to perform the prerequisite checking, you must
provide the information related to the patch to be applied and the target database
where this patch will be installed. Set the OS credentials to perform this task and
also set when this job will be scheduled.
After a while the results are displayed in a three column table which shows the check
performed, the status (failed or passed), the details specifying the tasks performed
during the check, and in case of failure what should be done in order for the patch to
meet the install prerequisites.
This is a proactive tool that frees the DBA from manually checking if the system
meets the conditions to guarantee a successful patching session.
Stage patch
The Stage Patch section looks at Oracle Metalink for patches that meet the current
platform OS and Oracle version to be downloaded. You can use a search form to look
for a particular patch and have it downloaded and staged in the Patch Cache area.
Apply patch
Patches can be directly applied from this section. You can choose to look for a
particular patch on Metalink and have it downloaded and staged or get a patch from
the library. The forms presented interrogate the user about the specific patches to be
applied, the target list where the patch will be installed, the OS credentials that will
be used for this task, and when this job will be scheduled.
