EM 24ai: Apply RU02 (24.1.0.2) on Oracle Management Service

The blog may appear extensive, but most of the content consists of the output from the command. The reason for including the output is to allow for comparison.

1. Ensure that you have OMSPatcher version 13.9.24.4.0

$ $ORACLE_HOME/OMSPatcher/omspatcher version

If the version returned is lower than that, which it most likely is, then you need to update OMSPatcher in the OMS home.

To update OMSPatcher, please follow the steps outlined below:

1.1. Download patch 19999993 for EM 24.1.0.0.0 (for your version) from My Oracle Support

1.2. Backup the current “OMSPatcher” folder

$ mv <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/OMSPatcher <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/OMSPatcher_backup

For example:

$ mv /u03/em24/middleware/oms_home/OMSPatcher /u03/em24/middleware/oms_home/OMSPatcher_backup

1.3. Unzip the “p19999993_241000_Generic.zip” under /u03/em24/middleware/oms_home

$ unzip /u03/install/p19999993_241000_Generic.zip -d /u03/em24/middleware/oms_home

1.4. Check the version again and make sure the version is correct

$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u03/em24/middleware/oms_home
$ $ORACLE_HOME/OMSPatcher/omspatcher version

OMSPatcher Version: 13.9.24.4.0
OPlan Version: 12.2.0.1.16
OsysModel build: Tue Apr 28 18:16:31 PDT 2020

2. Analyze the patch before actual application to ensure that all prerequisites are met:

$ /u03/em24/middleware/oms_home/OMSPatcher/omspatcher apply -analyze 37629905/

3. Installing the Release Update using a traditional patching method

3.1. Set the ORACLE_HOME to the location of the OMS home, and ensure the bin directory from the OMS home is included in the PATH environment variable:

$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u03/em24/middleware/oms_home
$ export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH

3.2. Shut down the OMS:

$ emctl stop oms
