PAA <\/strong>(Patch Application Assistant) is tool\/Perl script\u00a0to generate customized installation instructions<\/strong> for a patch in Oracle Applications R12 which helps user to track and perform manual steps<\/strong> during patching.
\n\u00a0
\n1. admsi.pl<\/strong> is under $AD_TOP\/bin<\/p>\n

2. You can run admsi.pl<\/strong> (Patch Application Assistant) in two mode
\ni) GUI<\/strong> (Graphical User Interface)
\nii) CLI <\/strong>(Command Line Interface)<\/p>\n

3. Once you complete manual steps as instructed in PAA report<\/strong>, you can record that step as completed.<\/p>\n

.
\nHow to Run PAA (Patch Application Assistant) in R12
\n<\/u><\/strong>
\n1.<\/strong>Source environment file i.e. $ORACLE_R12_BASE\/ apps\/ apps_st\/ appl\/ APPS[SID]_[hostname].env<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong>Run PAA using admsi.pl in either CLI or GUI<\/p>\n

2.1<\/strong> CLI<\/p>\n

perl admsi.pl -patch_top<\/strong>=[patch-top-directory]-appspass<\/strong>=[apps-password]
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

For example to generate PAA report for 12.0.6 patch (6728000)\u00a0run it as \u00a0 <\/font><\/p>\n

perl $AD_TOP\/bin\/admsi.pl -patch_top=\/stage\/ oracle\/ patches\/ r12\/ 6728000 -appspass=apps<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/font>Gathering Information..
\nLogfile for this session is located at admsi.log
\nGenerating installation instructions for patch 6728000..
\nUpdating database….
\ninstall_6728000.html generated successfully
\ninstall_6728000.txt generated successfully
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

Now\u00a0view report (text or html format)\u00a0containing\u00a0manual steps for 12.0.6<\/p>\n

\u00a0.<\/p>\n

2.2 GUI<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Invoke PAA in GUI by running admsi.pl<\/strong> as shown below<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Next step is to select from one of three options, I selected option 1 i.e. to find instance specific instructions for 12.0.6 patch (6728000<\/font>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

3. Once you get list of manual steps, follow instructions in report<\/p>\n

4. Apply apps patches using AUTOPATCH utility (adpatch<\/strong>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
