A. Before you Start
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before you start installation, you will need Database Administrator
privileges to your Oracle E-Business Suite environment, including:

  1. Access to your APPLMGR user
  2. Access to the Application Tier file system(s)
  3. SYSTEM password (this is only required for the first install)
  4. APPS password
  5. Custom Schema password (if a custom schema already exists)

You will also need the Patch zip file, which you should copy to a location
of your choice.  This is typically a staging area such as /d01/patch.
This location must have access to the Application Tier file system into
which you wish to install.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. Installation on Unix/Linux Systems
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation on UNIX and Linux systems is performed automatically by the
Installer.  To launch the Installer follow these steps:

1. As the APPLMGR user, login to the Application Tier (APPL_TOP) by
   sourcing the environment file.  If you have multiple Application Tier
   file systems, apply this patch to the primary node first.

2. If the Database Tier is not already running, start it.  If the
   Application Tier is running, it is recommended that you stop it so
   that active users do not receive runtime errors.

3. Unzip the patch to any location:

     $ unzip xxasemp-v008046.zip 

   This will create a subdirectory called xxasemp-v008046.
 
4. Start the Installer:

     $ cd xxasemp-v008046
     $ ./install.sh

5. Follow the installation instructions provided by the Applaud Installer.

6. If your Application Tier has multiple file systems, repeat steps 1-5
   for each file system.

7. Perform all listed post-requisite steps.
