Oracle EBS使用adpatch工具打patch过程
从Metalink下载补丁
登陆到Metalink(https://support.oracle.com)，Oracle内部用户可以使用ARU来下载。
点击Patches & Updates 页签,在"Patch Search"区，输入你的Patch号，Search，
找到你的Patch之后，特别注意，需要仔细查看Patch的Release，Platform/Language...以及阅读Read Me信息(看是否有需要关联下载的Patch)
然后下载Patch到本机，
打patch前，最好备份可能会被覆盖的文件。仔细阅读Readme文件。
上传patch文件到服务器端的Patch目录下，然后使用unzip命令解压，eg.
[oracle@bej301441 patches]$ unzip p10257769_R12.INV.B_R12_GENERIC.zip
Archive: p10257769_R12.INV.B_R12_GENERIC.zip

inflating: 10257769/ad/patch/115/manualsteps/ad_apply_patch.xml
[oracle@bej301441 patches]$
解压后会生成一个patch目录，进入patch目录
[oracle@bej301441 patches]$ cd 10257769/
[oracle@bej301441 10257769]$ ls
ad f10257769.ldt marker1.txt README.html u10257769.drv
b10257769.ldt inv patch_metadata.xml README.txt
[oracle@bej301441 10257769]$
u<patchnum>.drv文件是用于adpatch工具的drvier文件（Unified driver file），告诉adpatch需要拷贝哪些文件，需要产生哪些数据库对象...
adpatch实际上是位于$AD_TOP/bin目录下的打patch工具，adpatch会对比补丁文件和系统原文件的版本，如果补丁文件的版本比系统里原有的文件版本还低，那么adpatch是不会复制patch文件到系统中去的。
对于本例，这里使用hotpatch选项，hotpatch一般用于小的patch，对于大点的patch推荐使用Maintenance选项。
关于patch的选项，有很多，具体可以参见：Patch Application Utilities中“AutoPatch Options”部分。
[oracle@bej301441 10257769]$ adpatch driver=u10257769.drv options=hotpatch

Enter the directory where your Oracle Applications patch has been unloaded
The default directory is [/u02/patches/10257769] :
Select * from ad_applied_patches where patch_name like '%10257769%';
如果有返回记录说明Patch已经成功打上了。
打完adpatch之后，在$APPL_TOP/admin/<SID>/log目录下，会生成adpatch的日志文件，默认名为adpatch.log（可以在打patch的过程中，重新指定名称），这个日志记录整个adpatch执行过程中的所有信息，如果打patch报错或者失败，可以查看这个文件。
补充：关于Oracle EBS Patch的类型Standalone/Oneoff patches : This is used to define patch created to fix single/particular problem.
Mini Pack : This is group of oneoff patches for a particular product like INV, GL, AP and named like 11i.GL.E ( means this group of patches contain fix for 11i GL product (General Ledger till time E is released ) This is cummutative which means it will include 11i.GL.A, 11i.GL.B ….11iGL.D till 11i.GL.E earlier in 10.7 it used to called as patchset.
Family Pack : Group of mini packs in one family buldeled together is called as family pack. they are usually named as11i_PF.Few example of falilies are SCM ( 11i.SCM_PF.G ),ATG ( 11i.ATG_PF.H )_PF indicate Product Family Pack
Maintenance Pack : Group of family pack together is called as maintenance pack. So if you say your Verison is 11.5.10 then its maintenance pack 10 ( 3rd digit is maintenance pack )
