How to Patch Oracle Enterprise Manager 13.5

Posted 3 years ago by djpatel

I will go over how to patch Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) 13.5 OMS components in this post. You should also patch OEM repository database to latest released patches. Latest released patches are from July 2021 at the time of writing this blog. Please refer to Critical Patch Update (CPU) Program Jul 2021 Patch Availability Document (PAD) (Doc ID 2773670.1) on Oracle Support site to get more information. To apply all patches except Java one, opatch command line utility will be used. I will also go over how to patch this utility to latest available version.

Here is the list of patches that will be applied.

-Start all services from Oracle home.

Let’s update opatch version first.
