BSU Patch Installation Off-line Mode
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apply patch or patches in Off-line mode
Note: To apply the patch in offline mode refer to the section 8 Using the Command-Line Interface of Using the Command-Line Interface guide available

Steps:

1. Make sure you have the following files inside Folder WLS_ORACLE_HOME/utils/bsu/cache_dir
- patch-catalog.xml
- XXXX.jar

Note that XXXX is the patch ID, is just a reference name.

2. Apply the patch by running the following command:

> cd WLS_ORACLE_HOME/utils/bsu/

> ./bsu.sh -prod_dir=WLS_ORACLE_HOME/wlserver_10.3 -patchlist=<Patch_Id> -verbose -install

For example:

> ./bsu.sh -prod_dir=/Oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3 -patchlist=XXXX -verbose -install

After this the patch should be applied successfully.

3. You can view the report of applied patches by running the following command:

> ./bsu.sh -report -patch_id_mask=<Patch_Id>

For example:

> ./bsu.sh -report -patch_id_mask=XXXX

4. Restart the server and watch the standard output logs to verify the installation.

5. If you have more patches to apply go to step 1.
6. Repeat the process on each Instance Server including the admin Server.
