question on adop patching

[satish]

Hi Erman,

We are applying the GST patches.we have total 12 patches to be applied.we started patching cycle and applied almost 6 patches and there after a 7th patch 20170819 failed with forms compilation errors.I searched on knowledge base and it was mentioned as bug R12_GST: JAINTHQR.fmx And JAINTDST.fmx Failed While Applying Patch 20170819 (Doc ID 2298856.1)

If i follow the below procedure,i have to apply again all the patches which waste our time

1)Abort
2)full cleanup
3)bounce db
again start applying all the patches from begining

we request you if there is any alternative in this case?

Thanks,

The note you sent to me suggests the following;

1 - Go ahead with the cut over and finalize once done.
2 - Bounce DB once.
3 - Than re-compile the pls and plb for JAI and then compile the forms

Soo?? Why are you going ahaed with the different action plan?

Dear Erman,

So,we need to continue with the patch by skipping the form error and and perform Finalize and then cut over ?

In note Id it is mentioned as Cutover and Finalize once done.

Could you please advise?

Thanks

If you get the same error while applying the same patch, do exactly what the note says...

Complete finalize and cutover.
Restart your database.
Re-compile the pls and plbs and then compile the forms.

Thanks erman,we got the same error and the same patch failed.we got confused as note id says to do cutover first and then finalize.In general we will do finalize first and cutover next
