2. If you have not already applied minipack AD.A.2, first apply R12.AD.A.2 (6014659)

1. Download Patch 12.0.2 from metalink (5484000)

Upgrade Steps
1. Shutdown R12 Application Tier using script adstpall.sh under $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME ($install_base/inst/apps/$SID_$HOSTNAME/ admin/ scripts)
2. Enable maintenance mode using adadmin (similar to 11i process)

Hi Atul,

Nice post.
Just a minor correction.Instead of
Apply 12.0.2 patch 5484000 using adadmin

it should be

Apply 12.0.2 patch 5484000 using adpatch.

Thanks,
-Aman

Hi Atul,

would you consider publish any DST patch tips on OAS. I installed OAS 10.1.2.0.2 and then upgrade to 10.1.4 on Window XP as my development OAS/portal. It was working fine until 3/11/08 DST kicks in. The metalink doc regarding DST patch requires a seasoned DBA and I am just a Portlet developer who knows some OAS installation/configuration.

Thanks
-Perci
