Patching OIM 11.1.1.5.0 to 11.1.1.5.3

This guide can also be applied to OIM 11.1.1.5.1 or 11.1.1.5.2.

Obtaining the Patches
You will need the following patches:

1. Patch Name: 13106312
   Product: Oracle SOA Platform
   Release: 11.1.1.5.0


2. Patch Name: 13704894
   Product: Oracle Identity Manager
   Release: 11.1.1.5.0

Initial Setup
Create a directory called “patches”. Extract the contents of the files you have downloaded into the “patches” directory.
Follow the commands given below:

cd ~
mkdir patches
unzip p13106312_111150_Generic.zip -d patches/
unzip p13704894_111150_Generic.zip -d patches/

For more information about the patches and the patching process, read the “README.txt” inside each of the patch directory.

Applying Opatch
The WebLogic Administrator server must be running. The OIM and SOA managed servers must be down. OIM and SOA each has its own Opatch directory and inventory, so make sure you are using the right "ORACLE_HOME" that corresponds to the type of patch you are applying. Also, the “opatch apply” command must be executed inside the directory of each unzipped patch. Follow the instructions given below.

#SOA Patch 13106312

cd ~/patches/13106312
export PATH=/home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_SOA1/OPatch:$PATH
export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_SOA1
opatch apply

#IDM Patch 13704894

cd ~/patches/13704894
export PATH=/home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_IDM1/OPatch:$PATH
export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_IDM1
opatch apply

#Validating the patches has been applied

cd /home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_IDM1/OPatch
export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_IDM1
./opatch lsinventory
cd /home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_SOA1/OPatch
export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_SOA1
./opatch lsinventory

If you get the warning given below, then you are fine to proceed. This happens because the latest patches are cumulative, which means they contain the previous patches.

Executing the “patch_oim_wls.sh” Script
Navigate to the “<IDM_HOME>/server/bin” directory and modify the “patch_oim_wls.profile” file. Add the following information to the “patch_oim_wls.profile” and adjust the variable accordingly:

ant_home=/home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/modules/org.apache.ant_1.7.1
java_home=/home/oracle/java/jrockit64
mw_home=/home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware
oim_oracle_home=/home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_IDM1

Execute the following script:

cd /home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_IDM1/server/bin
./patch_oim_wls.sh

Logs
The logs are located in the “/home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_IDM1/server/setup/deploy-files” directory.
To check what is happening during the “patch_oim_wls” script, execute the following command:

tail -f patch_oim_wls.log
