If you have not yet gone through previous training videos then I suggest you look at

Note: Video starts with topics covered in Patching module so far, How to Find Patches for Oracle EBS, and then most interesting bit i.e. Patching Cycle in ADOP

ADOP Overview

ADOP stands for Application DBA Online Patching,  introduced in EBS R12.2 to patching Oracle Applications while the system is available for users during Patching.

In an Online Patching, there are five phases PREPARE -> APPLY -> FINALIZE -> CUTOVER  -> CLEANUP

  1. prepare: Run and Patch file systems are needed to be synchronized.
  2. apply:   All the patches must be applied in this phase.  Applied patches need to be copied in fs_ne (non-editioned filesystems)
  3. finalize:  Getting ready for the cutover phase.
  4. cutover: The filesystems interchange occurs. i.e., the Patch file system becomes the Run file system and vice versa.
  5. cleanup: All the obsolete objects gets compiled and cleanup old edition & objects.

FAQs

1) What is online patching?
Ans: Applying Oracle E-Business Suite patches without a significant system downtime is referred to as online patching, and a new utility, adop , is used to apply patches. The adop utility is required for applying software patches to the patch file system, but is not required to perform configuration changes.

2) How do you run an empty Adop cycle?
Ans: You can specify “apply=no” to run adop in test mode. The patch will not actually be applied, and adop will record what it would have done in the log. Empty patching cycle. adop parameters can be specified in a text file, with one <parameter>=<value> on each line of the file.

3) What is Adop Oracle Apps?
Ans: ADOP stands for Application DBA Online Patching, introduced in EBS R12. 2 to patch Oracle ADOP Applications while a system is available for users during Patching. It is the ability to patch a running system without having to take the system down for a significant period of time while the patches are applied.

4) What is Adop phase Fs_clone?
Ans: Apart from the regular patching ADOP also provides a phase known as FS Clone. FS clone mode can be only executed when there is no active patching cycle going on in the system. When a fs_clone is triggered the Patch file system is incrementally synchronized with the run edition file system.
