Procedure

Recommended Patches

OEM recommends the following patches be applied to WebLogic Server:

  1. Patch 18040640: SU Patch [T5F1]: WLS PATCH SET UPDATE 10.3.6.0.8
  2. Patch 16420963: SU Patch [GDFA]: WEBLOGIC.STORE.PERSISTENTSTOREEXCEPTION: [STORE:280040] OCCURS EASILEY

Extract the Contents of the Patch into the Cache Directory

Since Patch 1642093 was already uploaded in 10 Apply WLS Patches. I only needed to extract Patch 18040640 as follows:

unzip -q -d /opt/app/oracle/em/middleware/utils/bsu/cache_dir /tmp/p18040640_1036_Generic.zip

Stop WebLogic Server

Since OMS is built on the WebLogic Server (WLS), I only need to stop OMS in order stop WLS as well via emctl stop oms.

Apply the Patches

Used BSU to apply the two (2) patches as follows:

cd /opt/app/oracle/em/middleware/utils/bsu ./bsu.sh -prod_dir=/opt/app/oracle/em/middleware/wlserver_10.3 -patchlist=T5F1,GDFA -verbose -install

This failed with:

Checking for conflicts... Conflict(s) detected - resolve conflict condition and execute patch installation again Conflict condition details follow: Patch T5F1 is mutually exclusive and cannot coexist with patch(es): 6D9T,SRUM

Remove Conflicting Patches

I used the following commands to remove the conflicting patches:

cd /opt/app/oracle/em/middleware/utils/bsu ./bsu.sh -prod_dir=/opt/app/oracle/em/middleware/wlserver_10.3 -patchlist=6D9T,SRUM -verbose -remove

The output is:

Apply the Patches

Used BSU to apply the two (2) patches as follows:

cd /opt/app/oracle/em/middleware/utils/bsu ./bsu.sh -prod_dir=/opt/app/oracle/em/middleware/wlserver_10.3 -patchlist=T5F1,GDFA -verbose -install

The result is uploaded as 14 Apply WLS Patches.log. The patches were successfully applied.

Start WLS

Used emctl start oms to start the WLS as well.
