Weblogic Patch on R12.2 and FS_CLONE

[big]

Hi,

To apply weblogic patches on R12.2 we do the followings (Thanks to Erman)

adop phase=prepare
source patch env / EBSapps.env patch
BSU actions.. (I mean patch!)
---
$ cd $FMW_HOME/utils/bsu
$ bsu.sh
-prod_dir=<path>/FMW_Home/wlserver_10.3
-patchlist=<patchID1>
-verbose -install
---
adop phase=finalize
adop phase=cutover
source EBSapps.env run
adop phase=cleanup
Synchronize the technology level between patch and run file systems:
adop phase=fs_clone

Now Suppose Weblo patch creates a file myfile.gfd on PATCH fs.

If I do not run adop phase=fs_clone, this file "myfile.gfd" will not be copied on RUN fs?

Thanks.

This is what the documentation says..
fs_clone is not required for several cases, but we generally run it when the FMW or  Middle-tier technology components are patched. (probably adop prepare won't be able to sync the files of those types of components..)

Thank you.
