Updating Your Schemas with Patch Set Assistant 4-5 ■ Section 4.5.8, Loading the Oracle SOA Suite Purge Scripts

4.5.1 General Information about the Patch Set Assistant

The Patch Set Assistant is installed into the bin directory in your Oracle home by the Patch Set Installer see Chapter 3, Applying the Latest Oracle Fusion Middleware Patch Set . You can only use the Patch Set Assistant to patch a component schema if the schema matches the product type in the Oracle home from which the Patch Set Assistant started. In other words, if you run the Patch Set Assistant from an Oracle home containing Oracle SOA Suite, you cannot patch your existing Oracle Portal schema; you would have to run the Patch Set Assistant from an Oracle home that contained Oracle Portal. Below is the error message you would see if you tried to update the Oracle Portal schema from an Oracle home that did not contain Oracle Portal: UPGAST-02002: unsupported Oracle home type for patching component PORTAL The command failed to complete successfully

4.5.2 Starting the Patch Set Assistant

To start Patch Set Assistant, go to the bin directory in the Oracle home for the product schema you want to patch, then run the following command: On UNIX operating systems: cd ORACLE_HOME bin .psa On Windows operating systems: CD ORACLE_HOME \bin psa.bat
