For more information about using OPatch commands in an Oracle Fusion Middleware environment, see the following topics.
If you are using Oracle application server 10gR2, you may notice that oracle does not provide any CPU patch for the default 10gR2 release until AS environment is patched up to higher version. In other words, no CPU patch is realesed for 10.1.2.0.2 application server (default AS 10g R2 release).
Regarding to metalink note 420061.1, all application server should be patched up to 10.1.2.2 which all new CPU patches are based on. As the result, I went throght upgrading application server from 10.1.2.0.2 to 10.1.2.2 for a client. Here is my experience in this rocky road. Client AS topology A client is using 10gR2 application server on AIX 64bit.
Metarepository database is on 10gR2 database (created by Repca) and is on the same box of infrastructure tier. Mid tier is on separate box with BI-Form full install and SSL-Enabled. Patches Regarding to metalink note 415222.1, the following is the roadmap of upgrade to new 10.1.2.2 which would be more or less valid for similar AS environment 1. Apply 4960210 to Mid tier.
