Weblogic server applying patch offline

If you don't have access to Internet from production box or if you have to apply the same patches on multiple installations, best option would be to download the patch on windows and apply the patch in target env using offline mode.

You need to make sure bsu version(BEA_HOME/utils/bsu.sh -version) matches on both env(source and target) before applying the patch. If not download the bsu client through MetaLink/My Oracle Support. Search on Patch 8248099 and run (java -jar it on target installation.)

Instructions on applying patch offline.

Copy the cache_dir from you windows env(or any other env where you can download online using bsu) to some folder in solaris (-patch_download_dir), and run the smart update as shown below

Applying patch.

$bsu.sh -prod_dir=WL_HOME -patch_download_dir=<-patch_download_dir> -patchlist= -install -verbose

Removing the Patch

$bsu.sh -prod_dir=WL_HOME -patchlist=== -remove

Checking the applied patches:

$bsu -prod_dir= -status=applied -verbose -view

Note: WL_HOME is the weblogic92(incase of weblogic 9.x) or wlserver_10.3(incase of 10.3) directory
