24 +Wow! One of the patches (p35908669) contains a new **occas_generic.jar** file. Let's use that to install OCCAS instead of using the one from 'edelivery.oracle.com'.

38 +That was easy! Sometimes it's not so easy. Sometimes the patches require a newer version of OPatch to work. If that's a problem for you, see below for updating OPatch from the WLS stack bundle patch.

46 -In order to access Oracle's support web site, make sure your Oracle.com account is associated with the Customer Service Identifier (CSI) granted to your company with the purchase of OCCAS. Someone in your company should be able login and grant you privileges. If that makes no sense, call the Oracle toll-free number and they will help you through the process.
