BEFORE RUNNING ADADMIN
There are a few steps to perform before you run adadmin.
These are the same preparatory steps you would follow for runningany other AD utility, such as AutoPatch or AutoInstall.
1. Log in as applmgr. Make sure this account is using aBourne shell (or Korn shell on some platforms).2. Run the environment file for the Oracle Applicationsproduct group you want to update.
•
This is normally <db_name>.env
•
To run the environment file, make sure you are in a Bourne or Kornshell, and type:
$ . $APPL_TOP/<db_name>.env
•
Depending on your setup, you may have already run this file whenyou logged in.
3. Verify that $ORACLE_HOME and $ORACLE_SID or$TWO_TASK point to the correct database and directory.
•
To check these variables, "echo" them in UNIX:
$ echo $TWO_TASK->v1103$ echo $ORACLE_HOME->
 /db02/webhome/v1103
$ echo $ORACLE_SID->
atlcol06_v1103
4. Ensure that your PATH is set correctly.
•
At the UNIX prompt, just type:
$ echo $PATH->
 /appl01/v1103/fnd/11.0.28/bin:/appl01/v1103/ad/11.0.28/bin:/db02/webhome/v1103/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/ucb:/dba/dbaprod:/usr/local/bin:/hrdev/cobol.solaris/cobol/bin:/hrdev/cobol.solaris/cobol
•
Look for $ORACLE_HOME/bin in the path. If it is not there, you canadd it using the command:
$ PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin; export PATH
