Here is quick step to upgrade Oracle Applications from version 12.0.0 (Base Release) to 12.0.2 (Release 12 Roll-up 2)

Things to Note for 12.0.2 upgrade

2. If you have not already applied minipack AD.A.2, first apply R12.AD.A.2 (6014659)

1. Download Patch 12.0.2 from metalink (5484000)
2. Download AD Patch R12.AD.A.2 (6014659) 

Upgrade Steps
1. Shutdown R12 Application Tier using script adstpall.sh under $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME ($install_base/inst/apps/$SID_$HOSTNAME/ admin/ scripts)
2. Enable maintenance mode using adadmin (similar to 11i process)
3. Apply patch 6014659to upgrade your AD minipack to AD.A.2
4. Apply 12.0.2 patch 5484000 using adadmin

Hi Atul,

Nice post.
Just a minor correction.Instead of
Apply 12.0.2 patch 5484000 using adadmin

it should be

Apply 12.0.2 patch 5484000 using adpatch.

Thanks,
-Aman

Hi Atul,

would you consider publish any DST patch tips on OAS. I installed OAS 10.1.2.0.2 and then upgrade to 10.1.4 on Window XP as my development OAS/portal. It was working fine until 3/11/08 DST kicks in. The metalink doc regarding DST patch requires a seasoned DBA and I am just a Portlet developer who knows some OAS installation/configuration.

Thanks
-Perci
