Applies to:
Universal Connection Pool - Version 11.1.0.7.0 and laterJDBC - Version 9.2.0.1 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Goal
When applying one-off or backport patches to the JDBC Thin driver or to the Universal Connection Pool (UCP) in an Oracle database or client home, the task typically is accomplished using OPatch, similar to other products in the Oracle home.
However, when the JDBC Thin driver or UCP is used as a standalone tool, this method cannot be used. OPatch relies upon the presence of the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) and its installation logs. Since UCP and the JDBC Thin driver consist of JAR files that do not need to be installed, there are no installation logs for OPatch to interact with.
When a backport or one-off patch must be applied to UCP or the JDBC Thin driver, and it is not feasible to install an Oracle client or database home in order to apply the patch via OPatch, there is an alternative available: manually applying the patch using the steps outlined below.
