Applying patches inline during provisioning

BMC Database Automation supports applying inline of database patches as part of a provisioning activity.

To apply inline patches

1. Upload the patches into the Patch Repository.
   
   See Creating-a-patch-package for patch package creation instructions.
2. Using the XML template for the provisioning activity to be performed, add the following tags and patch information in either the <non_editable> or <hidden> section of the template:
   
   Package Name:
   <inline_patches>
   <name>/domain/patch_name_a</name>
   <name>/domain/patch_name_b</name>
   <name>/domain/subdomain/patch_name_c</name>
   </inline_patches>
   
   Package ID:
   <dbms_pkgs>
   <pkg>12</pkg>
   <pkg>14</pkg>
   <pkg>16</pkg>
   </dbms_pkgs>
   
   You must specify the Patch Repository Fully Qualified Package Name for each package you want to apply inline.

See Managing-templates-for-Oracle-on-Linux-and-UNIX for instructions on working with templates and accessing annotated sample templates for each provisioning activity.
