How to apply patch in Fusion Middleware (IDM, SOA, WebCenter) with multiple weblogic domains
Patches in Oracle Fusion Middleware are applied using OPatch utility. I recently applied a patch on Oracle Identity Management Home which contained two domains – IDMDomain & base_domain .
Syntax– To apply patch using OPatch utility
cd $PATCH_TOP/<patch_dir>
opatch apply -auto
Error encountered –
ApplySession failed:
The given Oracle Home ‘$mw_home/Oracle_IDM1’ has
been sourced to configure multiple WebLogic domains.
Please use the -domain option to specify the domain for which to perform the auto operations.
System intact, OPatch will not attempt to restore the system
OPatch failed with error code 73
Solution – use below syntax to specify the domain on which patch should be applied
opatch apply -auto -domain <domain_name>
In my case domain name was IDMDomain, socommand look like:-
opatch apply -auto -domain IDMDomain
If you don’t know the domain name, you can check domain name by running below command:-
opatch lsdomains [-oh ORACLE_HOME] [-mw_home MW_HOME]
