Oracle EBS Technology Team have just announced the new tool ETPAT-AT. This will help the E-Business Suite customers to automate the patching of the Technology Stack components i.e.,
- FMW WebTier 11.1.1.9
- Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.6 Smart Update Patch
- Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.6.0
- FMW oracle_common 11.1.1.9
- Forms and Reports 10.1.2.3
Till now the Oracle EBS DBAs apply these manually using opatch or bsu utilities but now this is automated. Remember that the patches need to be still downloaded into a stage area.
ETPAT-AT is available from My Oracle Support as Patch 32208510.
I will provide a practical of it in the next blog.

No Useful tool for higher EBS versions. I still did not understand the purpose of releasing this tool if it is only applicable to the 12.2.0 version alone.
