1. Adsplice
Adsplice is an ad utility which is used to add off-cycle products to oracle
apps i.e. products released between maintenance packs.
Download the product patch which contains information about the new
product,adplice control file and other associated files. Go through the
readme and apply pre-reqs if any. Now for using adsplice there is a control
file newprods.txt. A typical newprods.txt looks like->
product=zsa
base_product_top=*APPL_TOP*
oracle_schema=zsa
sizing_factor=100
main_tspace=ZSAD
index_tspace=ZSAX
temp_tspace=TEMP
default_tspace=ZSAD
If we are using OFA tablespace model then we need to change the last 4
parameters else for OATM it is optional.
One can then copy it in $APPL_TOP/admin and run adsplice from applmgr
user and follow the prompts.Then we can verify that product is correctly
spliced or not using adutconf.sql (AD Configuration report). We need to
logout and login again so that the new environment is set.We can then
verify that new <PROD>_TOP environment variable is set and need to
apply the patches for newly added product
