Weblogic Patching

1.Command-line interface:

1.This is the syntax for the command to view the downloaded patches as below:
./bsu.sh -prod_dir=<weblogic_home> -patch_download_dir=<download dir of patch> -status=downloaded -view -verbose

For example:
./bsu.sh -prod_dir=/opt/bea/weblogic92 -patch_download_dir=/opt/bea/utils/bsu/cache_dir -status=downloaded -view -verbose

2.This is the syntax for the command to install a patch:
./bsu.sh -prod_dir=<weblogic_home> -patchlist=<patchID> -verbose -install

For example:
./bsu.sh -prod_dir=/opt/bea/weblogic92 -patchlist=E5W8 -verbose -install
./bsu.sh -prod_dir=/opt/bea/weblogic92 -patchlist=E5W8,WGQJ -verbose -install

3.This is the syntax for the command to check if the patch is installed:
./bsu.sh -prod_dir=<weblogic_home> -patch_download_dir=<download dir of patch> -status=applied -verbose -view

For example:
./bsu.sh -prod_dir=/opt/bea/weblogic92 -status=applied -verbose -view

Patch Verification:

Run following to verify patch application

$ ./bsu.sh -view -status=applied -prod_dir=$WL_HOME -verbose | grep PSU

OR

$ ./bsu.sh -view -status=applied -prod_dir=$WL_HOME -verbose | grep D33T


2. Applying the patch to the classpath manually:

You can apply the patch to the system manually by extracting the actual patch and adding it to the classpath on the system:

1.Extract the actual patch jar file. It will be in the form <patch_id>.jar (for example: E5W8.jar).
Inside this jar file is the actual patch jar file, which will be of the form CR326566_92mp3.jar. Extract the latter file for the following steps.

2.Add the extracted jar file as the first element of the classpath of the Admin server as well as the managed servers in the domain.

3.If you are starting servers using the WebLogic Server startup script, update the classpath in the startup script like this:

set CLASSPATH=<PATCH_DIR>\jars\CR326566_92mp3.jar;%CLASSPATH% (Windows)
CLASSPATH=<PATCH_DIR>/jars/CR326566_92mp3.jar:$CLASSPATH (UNIX)

where PATCH_DIR is the directory on the machine where you extracted/saved the patch file.

4.Similarly, if you are starting servers using Node Manager, add the patch jar to the beginning of the Class Path argument in the Server Start
tab for the server(s).

NOTE: Applying the patch to the classpath manually (approach 2) is recommended only for releases prior to WLS 9.1. Smart Update should be used when it is available as it provides patch conflict and dependency checking.

Patch Report:

The bug numbers were obtained by running a report against the current installation, looking for the patch IDs, and then checking the JAR file names:

cd $MW_HOME/utils/bsu
./bsu.sh -report

Sample Patch output:

[oracle@weblogic bsu]$ pwd
/oracle/Middleware/utils/bsu

[oracle@weblogic bsu]$ ./bsu.sh -prod_dir=/oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3 -patchlist=L51R -verbose -install
