Applying Patches to a Multi-Node System

In a multi-node system, servers are installed on more than one node. The core technology directories (admin, ad, au, and fnd) and all product directories are installed under the APPL_TOP on all nodes, except for any node that contains only a database.

Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 introduced the concept of unified APPL_TOPs.On a multi-node system, exactly the same files are stored on every APPL_TOP. This architectural enhancement allows you to switch the function of a node easily if another node fails, by starting the application services on a different machine, with only minimal changes to the overall configuration. When maintaining this type of system, patches will perform the same tasks in the file system, but the database actions will be performed only once.

Running a Unified Driver on Multiple Nodes

Requirement: How do I run a unified driver patch on a multi-node system?

Apply the unified driver to all APPL_TOPs. AutoPatch determines which actions in the unified driver are required for the current APPL_TOP.

6.Defer system-wide database tasks until the end

Using adpatch options=nocompiledb,nomaintainmrc defers system-wide database tasks such as "Compile APPS schema" and "Maintain MRC" until after all patches have been applied. As of AD.H, AutoPatch automatically compiles the APPS schema and maintains MRC when applying standard patches.

6.推迟系统级别的数据库任务到最后完成

使用adpatch options=nocompiledb,nomaintainmrc来推迟系统级别任务，比如“Compile APPS schema”，“Maintain MRC”，直至所有的补丁完成。就像AD.H, AutoPatch在应用标准补丁的时候会自动运行compiles the APPS schema和maintains MRC。
