Upgrade the IAS oracle home to 10.1.3.5 in EBS R12.1


I was doing an IAS oracle home upgrade in EBS 12.1, so didn't find any easy document to refer to. I am sharing the steps that I created to make it easy for readers.

Checking Current Version:

IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin/httpd -v

Server version: Oracle-Application-Server-10g/10.1.3.4.0 Oracle-HTTP-Server

Server built:   Jul  7 2008 14:58:00


Steps:

Download OracleAS 10g Release 3 (10.1.3) Patch Set 5 (10.1.3.5.0) delivered via Patch 8626084

Download Environment Preparation Patch 8920270 for OracleAS 10g Release 3 (10.1.3) Patch Set 5 (10.1.3.5.0)

Apply the Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 Template patch to support OracleAS 10g Release 3 (10.1.3) Patch Set 5 (10.1.3.5) Apply 7359933. Follow the patch readme for any pre-requisite or post-requisite steps.-- Already present in my environment


Open VNC  and set the 10.1.3 home environment.

cd $ORA_CONFIG_HOME/10.1.3

. fuat_funebs122.env

Backup 10.1.3 home

cp -ipr 10.1.3 10.1.3_bkp

unzip p8626084_101350_LINUX.zip

 2 disk file will be  created 


Create a response file

cd  $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/OPatch

Run ./ocm/bin/emocmrsp

A response file would be created with the name ocm.rsp


Back up the file opmnctl at 1013_ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin

Copy the file $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/opmn/bin/opmnctl to

10.1.3 ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin


Change directory to <patch-top>/Disk1(for patch 8626084)

On Linux 64bit:

Use the following command to specify 32bit shell emulation, before running the installer as detailed below:


linux32 bash

Run the 10.1.3.5 Patch Set installer on VNC

./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs







Click Next




Select the correct 10.1.3 Home
Remember no services have to be taken down

Click Yes



EEnter the <oc4jadmin> user password for the OracleAS 10g 10.1.3 instance that is being patched. If you are upgrading from OracleAS 10g 10.1.3.0, the default password is 'secret'. Otherwise the default password is 'oafm', if it was not changed after Release 12 installation

There will be a brief pause in the installer when the application tier processes are stopped.

































If getting above error, then
  1. Back up the 10.1.3 Oracle Home/inventory/contentsXML/comps.xml file
  2. Change the INST_LOC variable in the
    10.1.3 Oracle Home/inventory/contentsXML/comps.xml file to the correct
    1013_ORACLE_HOME.
  3. Run the 10.1.3.5 Patch Set installer again after canceling this.































Run above as root user.































Click OK and then
Edit file

 $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/config/run_opatch_generic.sh

And add  -ocmrf /u01/oracle/fuat/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/OPatch/ocm.rsp in opatch command (This is same ocm file created in earlier steps)

 

Click retry

































Exit after installation is done.

Regenerate appsborg.zip and appsborg2.zip files

Run adadmin, and choose Generate product JAR files (with the no force option) to generate the appsborg.zip and appsborg2.zip files.

Validate the version now

 

$ $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin/httpd -v

Server version: Oracle-Application-Server-10g/10.1.3.5.0 Oracle-HTTP-Server

Server built:   Jul 21 2009 11:12:22

 or

  1. Run the command 'opatch lsinventory -detail'
  2. Look for 'Oracle Application Server PatchSet' in the 'Product' column. 'Version' should show 10.1.3.5.0.


Restart application tier services

That's it.


Note:

If any further OracleAS 10g patches are applied, ensure that you repeat the Steps to regenerate appsborg.zip and appsborg2.zip and restart the application tier services.


You can Apply the October 2015 CPU or a later CPU to Oracle Fusion Middleware 10.1.3.5. if required.
