zip to the environment from the machine where you are having patch file. Step2: login : oracle password: Uncompress the binary source $unzip p6890831_111070_Linux-x86-64.zip Example:After unzipping , you can find the below folder Disk1 c111ptqhdd009: /home/oracle $ cd /oracle/app/patches/ c111ptqhdd009: /oracle/app/patches $ ls Disk1 p6890831_111070_Linux-x86-64.zip Step3: Bring down the application Step4: login : oracle password: Bring down the database sqlplus /as sysdba sql>shutdown immediate; sql>exit > ps -ef |grep pmon Make sure that oracle is not running > lsnrctl stop > lsnrctl status Make sure that the listener is not running.

Select the ORACLE_HOME to upgrade and then click next, the prerequisites steps will complete last click INSTALL. At the end up the installation it will ask to run root.sh as root user. We need root user password or sudo user privilege to run root.sh script. Follow the step 8 Step8: login : root password: or login : your_SUDU_USERNAME password:
