Thanks & Regards,

@ Narendra,
This means that you don’t have access to download patch (ask your CSI administrator to give you access to download patch)
Hi,
It was nice studying this web site, learnt patch basics. However i would like to know when we apply any patch what would be retain and what would get over written?
@ Mahaboob Basha Shaik,
Each patch contains different set of files which could update database objects, forms, reports or objects in application tier.
To find out what objects patch changes , open patch and its artefacts
