Instructions for patching OCCAS...

OCCAS Patches

Download the latest OCCAS patches. At the time of this writing, it contained an entirely new installer.

From support.oracle.com, click on the Patches & Updates tab.

In the Patch Search window, click on Product or Family (Advanced) tab.

Enter...

Product is: Oracle Communications Application Server
Release is: Oracle Communications Application Server 8.1.0.0.0
Platform is: Linux x86-64

From there, download each patch...

unzip '*.zip'

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'.

Follow the steps in OCCAS Installation and return here when you are done. (Do not configure OCCAS just yet.)

Back?

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

export PATH=/opt/oracle/occas/8.1/OPatch:$PATH
opatch napply -id 35843968,36228321,36853044,36965445 -silent

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.

Download WebLogic Patches

In addition to the OCCAS patches, we need to install the latest WebLogic Server (WLS) patches.

But, which version of WebLogic does OCCAS use? Let's find out!

cd <install_dir>/inventory
grep "wls_server" registry.xml
<feature status="installed" name="wls_server" version="14.1.1.0.0">

Ah, now that we know the version number, lets search for the latest WLS patches...

Product is: Oracle WebLogic Server
Release is: Oracle WebLogic Server 14.1.1.0.0
Platform is: Linux x86-64
Show recommended patches only (check)
Exclude superseded patches (check)

That's a lot of patches! We only need to download the latest WLS stack bundle:

WLS STACK PATCH BUNDLE 14.1.1.0.241008 (Patch)

These patch bundles are released on a quarterly basis and should give us everything we need.

Unzip the patch and refer to the README.html for detail instructions.

Here's how I did it...

opatch version
OPatch Version: 13.9.4.2.3

cd WLS_SPB_14.1.1.0.241008/tools/opatch/generic
unzip p28186730_1394217_Generic.zip
cd 6880880
java -jar opatch_generic.jar -silent oracle_home=/opt/oracle/occas/8.1 -ignoreSysPrereqs

opatch version
OPatch Version: 13.9.4.2.17

Now that we have the latest OPatch, let's use SPBAT to patch WLS.

export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/occas/8.1
export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xms64m -Xmx1024m -XX:ParallelGCThreads=45 -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=512m"

cd WLS_SPB_14.1.1.0.241008/tools/spbat/generic/SPBAT
./spbat.sh -phase apply -oracle_home $ORACLE_HOME

Congratulations! We are now ready to Configure OCCAS.
