This article makes the following assumptions.

Download Patches

The October 2018 security advisory contains the final patches for the 11.1.2.2 version of Oracle Forms and Reports Services. The available patches can be found here.

You will need to download all the patches. The rest of the article assumes they will be placed in the "/u01/software" directory of the server.

The article also assumes you've downloaded the latest version of OPatch for this release, and that is placed in the "/u01/software" directory. It can be downloaded from here.

The full list of files downloaded were as follows.

Apply Patches

I typically create "start_all.sh" and "stop_all.sh" scripts to simplify startup/shutdown of Forms and Reports Services. The contents of these scripts are described here.

Stop the Forms and Reports Services on the server.

~/scripts/stop_all.sh

Make sure the environment variables for the current software installation are set correctly and set the SOFTWARE_DIR variable as required.

export MW_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/middleware
export FR_INST=${MW_HOME}/FR_inst
export ORACLE_HOME=${FR_INST}

export SOFTWARE_DIR=/u01/software

Apply each of the patches in turn. If the patch is already applied, it will fail gracefully with a warning.

# Install the latest version of OPatch and add it to the path.
cd ${ORACLE_HOME}
unzip -oq ${SOFTWARE_DIR}/p6880880_111000_Linux-x86-64.zip
