Use the “apps” database user or a user with equivalent privileges.

    It is recommended to copy the patches extraction tool file to a directory with 500MB-1GB free space.
  • Database Max Extents
    Please remove the database Max Extension limits.


Patches Files

Please make sure the patches are downloaded to a directory on your Oracle Apps Server.
Use a directory that will contain only the ZIP files of the patches that you want to analyze before they have been installed.

Do not unzip or install the files.
