Changes
Starting with OPatch Versions - 11.2.0.3.20/12.2.0.1.16,If the incoming Patch touches one of the following components OPatch,OUI and JDK , then OPatch enters Self-Patching Mode(OOP).
OPatch scans the incoming patch content and verifies if it touches above components and accordingly it will run in “-silent –restart”(which is OOP)
The following folders-OH/OPatch, OH/jdk and OH/oui are copied to a temporary location during OOP.
OPatch Versions 11.2.0.3.20/12.2.0.1.16 used to use the OS temporary location - /tmp(for UNIX/LINUX) OR %TEMP%(for Windows) for OOP related actions.
OPatch Versions 11.2.0.3.22/12.2.0.1.18 used to use the ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage for OOP related actions.
Once OOP is initiated,OPatch is copied to the Temporary Location & patched.The Patched Version of OPatch is then used to patch the Oracle Home.
Once OOP is initiated,it proceeds without end-user confirmation(e.g as shown below)-
