Start the steps:

1) Put Application in Maintenance mode using adadmin
 
2) Download 12415211 and unzip.
Then perform the below steps for Oracle Linux 6

cd <12.1_INSTALL_DIR>/apps/tech_st/10.1.2/lib
cp -p -R stubs stubsORIG
cd stubs
cp <PATCH_INSTALL_DIR>/12415211/files/lib/stubs/libgcc_s-2.3.2-stub.so .
ln -s libgcc_s-2.3.2-stub.so libgcc_s.so.1
ln -s libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so

The instructions for the 10.1.3 Oracle Home are:

cd <12.1_INSTALL_DIR>/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/lib
cp -p -R stubs stubsORIG
cd stubs
cp <PATCH_INSTALL_DIR>/12415211/files/lib/stubs/libgcc_s-2.3.2-stub.so .
ln -s libgcc_s-2.3.2-stub.so libgcc_s.so.1
ln -s libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so
 

3) Before Applying Patch: 9239089

Copy adgrants.sql to $DB_ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/admin, if the admin directory doesn't exist please create.

[oracle@ebsr12 admin]$ sqlplus /nolog

SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.7.0 – Production on Fri Feb 28 14:53:28 2020

Copyright (c) 1982, 2008, Oracle.  All rights reserved.

SQL>  @$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/admin/adgrants.sql apps 

Also, add the below parameter in database level and restart.

_disable_fast_validate=TRUE

Note:
For 11gR1 and 11.2.0.1 databases, before performing any Applications upgrade or maintenance operations, customers must add the following to the database initialization file to disable fast validation for PL/SQL recompilations:
_disable_fast_validate=TRUE
The line should be commented out during the normal operation of the Applications system

4) Now Apply patches using adpatch utility.

  • 9239089
  • 9239090- Please perform the below steps before applying this patch.

Replace the following line under the Linux section of the $AD_TOP/bin/adrelinknew.sh:

CPP_LDFLAGS=' -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/stubs -lclntsh'

with

CPP_LDFLAGS=' -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/stubs -lclntsh -Wl,--noinhibit-exec'

Run the adadmin utility and relink application executables

Please note the upgrade patch will take time depending upon on what hardware you are using.

Run autoconfig on DB-Tier

Run autoconfig on Apps-Tier

Remove the application from maintenance mode and bring up Application services and check the application version.



6) Validate the New EBS version

SQL> select release_name from apps.fnd_product_groups;

RELEASE_NAME
--------------------------------------------------
12.1.3

If forms are not opening

Stop the application tier services
Run adadmin regenerate JAR file
Compile all the forms.
cd $ORACLE_HOME/forms/lib
make -f ins_forms.mk install

How to Validate TDE Wallet Password in Oracle Database

How to Validate TDE Wallet Password in Oracle Database Validating the Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) wallet password is crucial, especially when ensuring that the password is correct without using the OPEN or CLOSE commands in the database.
