1. Prepare the system for patching. 

   source <EBS_ROOT>/EBSapps.env run

   $ adop phase=prepare 

2. Apply technology patches to the Oracle Home under the Patch f/s 
using the information below. 

   source <EBS_ROOT>/EBSapps.env patch

   $ adop phase=apply patches=<patch_list> 

4. After all patches have been successfully applied, complete the patching cycle. 

   $ adop phase=finalize 
   $ adop phase=cutover 

Note: Below steps can be done when applications are up and running 

5. source <EBS_ROOT>/EBSapps.env run 
   
   $ adop phase=cleanup

6. To complete the process and synchronize the technology level between patch 
and run f/s. 

   $ adop phase=fs_clone


Adop hotpatch steps (we cannot abort hotpatch and abondon cannot be done):
Hotpatch which can apply directly on run fs

$ adop phase=apply patches=<patch_list> hotpatch=yes

After hotpatch please run phase=cleanup and phase=fs_clone 
to sync the run fs with patch fs to prepare for next patching cycle
