Patching actions in shared appltop

[satish]

Dear erman,

In shared application tier file system,when we start applying patch with adop,it first applies patch on primary node,next it says “applying in secondary node” What actions it does take on secondary node?
Because it is shared file system,why adop applies patch in secondary node
Pls clarify.

Thanks,
Satish

Sometimes; log records like "applying in secondary node bla bla" are just abstract information :)
Patch log will give us some clues on this. Patch log will tell us that.
You ll see records like the following in the log;

[STATEMENT] [END 2020/05/02 12:33:42] Running AutoConfig
[STATEMENT] Content in remote input file : <nodename=node2>

But!, it doesn't do anything with the filesystem objects and the database objects.. This is obvious as you already mentioned, these are already shared..

Adop probably does autoconfig related things on the second node. autoconfig + node specific actions (most of them are related with the configuration)
