P re f a c e
This document is for those who are interested to learn Oracle Applications Administration (Database
or System). Although the document will cover most of the features but this is not the whole story of
patching. So please consider it as a basic or reference document. We will also recommend reading
the Oracle Documentation provided by Oracle and use metalink www.oracle.metalink.com.

Important
The authors will not be responsible if there will be any issue during or after practicing any feature
described in this document as this is just a basic document. It is also strongly recommended that
take backup before starting any critical feature and to practice on TEST servers and only perform on
production when you have personally tested all steps and feeling comfortable.
