Update database tier nodes to the Oracle E-Business Suite Applications Technology Release 12.1.3 (R12.ATG_PF.B.delta.3) code level. (Required) After you have applied Oracle E-Business Suite Applications Technology Release 12.1.3 (R12.ATG_PF.B.delta.3), perform the following required post-install steps to update all database tier nodes to the AutoConfig code level that is provided by this release: Application tier: o As the APPLMGR user, run the environment (UNIX) or the command (Windows) file for the current APPL_TOP.

UNIX

Author A.Kishore http:/www.appsdba.info

For example: . ./<APPL_TOP>/APPS<CONTEXT_NAME>.env o Run the admkappsutil.pl utility to create the file appsutil.zip in the <INST_TOP>/admin/out directory.

perl <AD_TOP>/bin/admkappsutil.pl Database tier: o As the oracle user, run the environment (UNIX) or the command (Windows) file for the current ORACLE_HOME.

UNIX cd <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME> . ./<RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>/<CONTEXT_NAME>.env o o Copy or FTP the appsutil.zip file to the <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>. Uncompress appsutil.zip under the <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>.

cd <ORACLE_HOME> unzip -o appsutil.zip o o Run AutoConfig on the <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>. Run AutoConfig on all nodes with an Appl_Top. This is frequently referred to as the applications tier or non-database nodes.

UNIX adautocfg.sh - Database tier and application tier: o Run adpreclone.pl on the database tier and the application tier. Since updates included in Oracle E-Business Suite Applications Technology Release 12.1.3 (R12.ATG_PF.B.delta.3) were applied to the system, you must run the adpreclone again in order to apply the updates to the clone directory structures used during cloning.
