1 -Instructions for patching OCCAS...
1 += Prerequisites =

3 -= OCCAS Patches =
3 +For convenience, let's set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable:
4 4  
5 -Download the latest OCCAS patches. At the time of this writing, it contained an entirely new installer.
5 +In your (% class="mark" %)~~/.bash_profile(%%) script, add the following lines:
6 6  
7 -From support.oracle.com, click on the **//Patches & Updates//** tab.
7 +(% class="box" %)
8 +(((
9 +export MW_HOME=/opt/oracle/occas/8.1
10 +export PATH=$MW_HOME/OPatch:$PATH
11 +)))
8 8  
9 -In the **//Patch Search//** window, click on //**Product or Family (Advanced)**// tab.
13 +Load the variables by logging out and logging back in. (Or, you can type "source ~~/.bash_profile".)
10 10  
11 -Enter...
15 +Let's find out which version of WebLogic OCCAS is running on:
12 12  
13 -Product is: **Oracle Communications Application Server**
14 -Release is: **Oracle Communications Application Server 8.1.0.0.0**
15 -Platform is: **Linux x86-64**

22 22  )))
23 23  
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'.
22 +(% class="box infomessage" %)

25 25  
26 -Follow the steps in [[OCCAS Installation>>doc:Tutorials.Oracle.Communications.OCCAS.Installation.WebHome]] and return here when you are done. (Do not configure OCCAS just yet.)
30 +Now let's find out which version of WebLogic (WLS) OCCAS is running on:

28 -Back?

30 -Now let's install the remaining OPatch style patches in one fell swoop...

36 36  )))
37 37  
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.

40 -= Download WebLogic Patches =
42 +Fantastic! Now we know what patches to download and install...
41 41  
42 -In addition to the OCCAS patches, we need to install the latest WebLogic Server (WLS) patches.
44 += WebLogic Server Patches =
43 43  
44 -But, which version of WebLogic does OCCAS use? Let's find out!
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.
45 45  
48 +From [[Oracle's My Support>>https://support.oracle.com]] download the latest //WLS Stack Patch Bundle//:
