Oracle Hyperion EPM 11.2.8 May not always apply Patches listed in the Readme

Written By Bobby Barrett

The Problem occurs when applying the update to a different drive than where the software is held. An example would be applying the from the D drive to your Middlware_Home on the E drive. Specifically, it is the 11.2.8 installTool.cmd that needs to be on the same drive as the Middleware_Home to avoid this issue.

 The Fusion Middleware Patch Set updates below will be the ones not applied:

  • ADF Bundle Patch 12.2.1.4.210706

  • WebLogic Patch Set Update 12.2.1.4.210330

  • ADR for WebLogic Server 12.2.1.4.0 JULY CPU 2020 for WebLogic Server SPB

  • Bundle patch for Oracle Coherence Version 12.2.1.4.8

There are a couple of options for you, should this be your issue. The first is done prior to attempting to run the update from a different drive. You can create a Directory link using a command similar to the one shown below.

                                    Mklink /D d:\installs \\<fileshare>\<share>

Please adjust the command as need to suit your environment. Then you will be able to run your install using that link. After running the install you can then remove the Directory link with a command similar to the one below.

                                    Rmdir d:\installs

If you have already run the 11.2.8 update Release installer and discovered this is your problem, you can run the “postInstallPatch.bat” command using Middleware_Home as its’ argument. Please stop all EPM services. Then, open a Command prompt and make your location:

%EPM_ORACLE_HOME%\..\oracle_common\OPatch\Patches\

             EX. D:\Oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\OPatch\Patches

Then run the following command providing your Middleware_Home as the argument

            postInstallPatch.bat D:\Oracle\Middleware
