Dual File System

• Introduced from R12.2 to reduce patching down time

• Application Tier File System Consists of fs1 and fs2 in base directory
• At a given time, one is designated as run and the other as patch
• “run” file system is used for running Oracle E-Business Suite i.e., users access “run” File System
• “patch” file system is used for Patching
• “adop” Utility is used to apply patches on the Patch File System

ADOP Phases

Phase Description
Prepare Prepares the environment for patching

Apply Applies the specified patches (one or more) to the Patch File System

Finalize Performs final steps before cutover

Cutover Flips File System i.e., if fs1 is run it becomes patch and fs2 becomes run

Cleanup Removes obsolete code and data from old editions

fs_clone Recreates the patch edition file system as an exact copy of the run edition file system,
preserving the mode, ownership, and timestamps of the files.
Abort Aborts the online patching cycle by dropping the database patch edition. This phase cannot
