Difference between admin directory and patch directory ?

What the difference between $<PRODUCT_TOP>/admin/sql and $<PRODUCT_TOP>/patch/115/sql
I have looked at a number of packages on my system and they appear to be built from its *.pls located in my $<PRODUCT_TOP>/patch/115/sql directory
However there normally is also a file of the same name in $<PRODUCT_TOP>/admin/sql, though usually it has a different version number ( in my case I have found some files in her that have a version number that is greater than what is in the patch/115/sql directory )
thanks,
Jim

My understanding is that the Product admin directory is used by Auto Upgrade as part of an upgrade ?Correct.
Q. Since Auto Upgrade is involved, I presume this means an upgrade say from 11i to R12 ( formerly what was called a migration ) rather than what would be a Release Update Pack ( i.e. formerly a Maintenance Release ) eg 11.5.10.2 ?I would say it is applicable for all the patches that update APPL_TOP, so it is applicable to RUP and Maintenance Pack patches but not an upgrade from 11i to R12 as a new APPL_TOP is created in this case (unless you are referring to the new APPL_TOP).
Q. Does the product_top patch directory hold the files transferred in by adpatch ? Yes.
If so does it only hold the latest version supplied by the various patches applied to this product top ?Yes.
Q. Why would the product_top admin directory hold files with version numbers higher than what is in the product_top patch ?Can you give an example for this?
Thanks,
Hussein

  • Differences between SunONE, iPlanet and Netscape Directory Server

    What are the differences between SunONE, iPlanet and Netscape Directory Server?
    When I go to docs.sun.com - Products Categories, I saw that they've documentation regarding with SunONE, iPlanet, Netscape Directory Server listed under Directory Server.
    I know that they're all different directory server, but is it one newer than other? If I'm not wrong, I assumed that Netscape transformed into iPlanet, and then from iPlanet, it transformed to SunONE. If that is the case, is that mean that all of it's console and how it works should be very similar?
    Thanks!

    That is exactly what I thought.
    so when people refer SunONE Directory Server 5.1, then that's mean iPlanet Directory Server 5.1, right?
    Because I'm looking at Solaris 9's specification and it mentioned that it bundled with SunONE Directory Server 5.1.
    Thanks for answering my question! :)

  • Difference between service pack and Patch in XI

    What is the difference between Service Pack(SP) AND Patch ??
    e.g SP12, Patch8.
    Is it like that when there is a major change they will issue SP and
    for a small change they will issue patch ?? or after number of patches
    they will issue SP combining all the patches ??
    Service Pack level can be seen from SAP gui system..>status.
    But Patch level where can we see ?? what is the Tcode for that ?? or just we got
    to go through below links ??
    http://<host>:<j2ee_http_port>/sap/monitoring/ComponentInfo
    also
    http://<host>:<j2ee_http_port>/sap/monitoring/SystemInfo for core system info (J2EE or JVM patch level, etc.)
    thanks
    kumar

    Hello,
    A service pack (in short SP) is a collection of updates, fixes and/or enhancements to a software program delivered in the form of a single installable package. Service packs are usually numbered, and thus shortly referred to as SP1, SP2, etc. It is notable that they may bring, besides bug fixes, entirely new features
    A patch (sometimes called a "fix") is a quick-repair job for a piece of programming. During a software product's beta test distribution or try-out period and later after the product is formally released, problems (called bug) will almost invariably be found. A patch is the immediate solution that is provided to users; it can sometimes be downloaded from the software maker's Web site. The patch is not necessarily the best solution for the problem and the product developers often find a better solution to provide when they package the product for its next release.

  • Difference between admin.jar and admin_client.jar

    OC4J provide two commad-line utility: admin.jar and admin_client.jar for performing configuration tasks on OC4J. admin_client.jar can work in Oracle Application Server clustered environment as well as on a standalone OC4J server, but admin.jar only works in a standalone OC4J installation. Do they have any other difference?
    If used in a standalone OC4J installation, are they the same?

    The documentation on the OC4J management tools covers this to some degree:
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32110_01/web.1013/b28950/admin.htm#CEGHHGGB
    In a nutshell
    1. admin.jar is the old command line utility we kept in the release for backwards compatibility. It uses a set of internal/proprietrary APIs to work against OC4J. It works only against OC4J standalone.
    2. admin_client.jar is a new command line utility that is based on JMX and its associated set of specifications to manage and deploy to a J2EE container. It can connect to and manage all variants of OC4J -- standalone, single AS instance, clustered AS instance. It has many more resource configuration options added to it. For simplicity, we maintained the "feel" of admin.jar so the command structure is very similar to what was provided in admin.jar, but the way it works is completely different under the covers.
    While admin.jar still works and is supported, you should use admin_client.jar whenever you want to do command line operations with 10.1.3.x. I was considering putting a note to that effect on stdout whenever admin.jar was used, but we didn't end up doing it.
    Another two nice aspects about admin_client.jar are
    1. The common library it uses to perform its operations is also used by the Oracle Ant tasks -- so in effect there are two faces to it -- admin_client.jar and Ant tasks. There's a near 100% compatibility between the two meaning what you can do with admin_client.jar you can most likely do with a set of Ant tasks from a development environment.
    2. We have isolated the dependencies for admin_client.jar and produced a separate, small distribution called oc4j_admin_client.zip (which is 6MB from memory) that can be unzipped onto any remote server and you have the full admin_client.jar utility -- meaning that to perform administration options against ant of the OC4J variants (standalone, single and clustered AS instance) you only need this one, very small distribution.

  • What is the difference between admin.jar and admin_client.jar

    Oc4j provide two jar for admin purpose: admin.jar and admin_client.jar. what are the differnce between them?

    I'm sure I've provided an answer for this before -- try searching this forum and see if its there.
    In short: admin.jar is old and uses a bunch of internal APIs.
    admin_client.jar is a new implementation in 10.1.3.x and it uses JMX/JSR77/JSR88 APIs as its basis. It supports config/deployment operations against ALL the OC4J variants -- standalone, OracleAS single instance or OracleAS groups. We've tried to ensure that admin_client.jar has all the necessary coverage from admin.jar -- the syntax is very similar and all the relevant commands are carried forward.
    If you are making a choice, choose admin_client.jar.

  • Behaviour differences between  war file and exploded directory

    Hi,
    I'm baffled by differences in how my web app behaves when deploy in a war file and when deployed in exploded directory.
    Firstly when I deploy in exploded directory format (using wldeploy in ant) - the jsps do not precompile. However, when I deploy the war file - again using ant and wldeploy - precompile works just fine - and general performance seems better.
    Secondly - the webapp has a pdf file - which is used as a template to dynamically produce a document. When deployed
    in exploded format - the webapp works fine and is able to read the pdf. However, when I deploy in war file, the pdf cannot be read.
    Surely the behaviour should be the same whether we deploy as a war or exploded.
    Someone please help
    Tariq

    Some behaviors will be different between a WAR file deployment and an exploded WAR deployment.
    With respect to JSP precompile, you just say "they do not precompile", so I can't tell anything about that.
    When you read files from an exploded WAR, you can reference them in two ways: as a resource, or as an absolute file path. When you read files from a WAR file, you can only read files as a resource, and not as an absolute file path. You're not giving any information about how you're reading the file, so I can't tell about that either.
    You'd have to provide more detail to get better answers.

  • Difference between New Archieve and New Patch

    Hi,
    I am going through import and export topics of LCA files (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/workbenchHelp/help.htm?content=000276.html ). I understood how we can create new Archieves and import it to another environments. But I am not able to understand about patches.
    In both the cases, I am doing the same thing. I am creating archieve of the application. I am sure, there would be difference between "new archive" and "Patch" but not able to figure out.
    Can anyone let me know if I create new archieve and Patch, then what is the visual differences i can look in both the archieves??????
    Regards
    Sunil

    patching is related to component of LiveCycle.
    these are  basically jar files updated with new one. For more please look here.
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/workbenchHelp/help.htm?content=000960.html
    LCA files are simply archive file of the processes/application that you create in workbench. These archive files can be import to other environment  at later stage.

  • Difference between user directory and native directory in Shared Services

    Hi,
    Please any one can help me......
    I am new to Hyperion, what is difference between Hyperion Shared services Native directory and User/Active directory.
    thanks in advance..............

    Hi,
    Shared Services native directory, as the name suggests, is a user directory (i.e. ldap) that is native to Hyperion. It allows you to create users, groups and define access rights to Hyperion Products. User/Active directory is the directory where users in your company reside. Shared Services can connect to it and retrieve the list of users and groups. You can define the access rights for these users if you configure the system in a way that it works with Active Directory.
    You can use both combined also. Meaning, you can create user groups in native directory and assign native directory users into them and define access rights onto user groups and/or users.
    Cheers,

  • Difference between Maintenance update and recommended patches.

    Hello
    What is the difference between "Maintenance Update" and "Recommended patches" ?
    Can we install the OS from the distribution, then install the recommended patches and have a decent system. Or we do need to install the maintenance update before the recommended patches ?

    Hi,
    What do you mean of Manual Update.
    Simulation means , it will not upload into the data to the datatarget,It just explore you about how the system goes through update rules,Transfer rules .
    real upload/Update manually means the data will reach the datatarget and sits there with out explore you about how the system goes through update rules,Transfer rules .

  • Difference between config toll and visual admin

    HI all,
      Please let me know all Difference between config toll and visual admin.
    and Purpose and how to start.
    Thanks & Regards,
    satish k

    Hi Satish,
    SAP J2EE Engine 6.20 provides three basic tools for administration u2013
    Visual Administrator,
    Console Administrator, and
    Config Tool (both Visual and Console).
    There are some other tools namely DBTool, Library Tool, RMIC Tool, Shutdown Tool, and User Tool also used.
    First part
    Difference between config toll and visual admin:-Visual Administrator is a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables administration of the whole cluster, of the cluster nodes, and all modules running on them.On the other hand with the help of Config Tool you are able to add and configure SAP J2EE Engine 6.20 cluster elements.Again Config Tool can be used without a running SAP J2EE Engine 6.20. The only requirement is to have the server installed on the local machine.
    Visual Administrator is written in the Java programming language and can be run in any environment where a Java Virtual Machine is available.On the other hand Config Tool is XML-based, which enables third-party visualizations to be developed or integrated as part of a more complicated configuration system.
    Visual Administrator enables remote monitoring and management of the cluster, and for each cluster element, and enables the system administrator to monitor all managers and services working on each node in a single GUI & its online.cofig tool on the otherhand offline.
    Second part Purpose
    "Visual Administrator":-with the help of this tool you can able to login & logout from the server.It gives you all the details regarding different services running in your SAP server.As already mentioned that with the help of VA we enables administration of the whole cluster, of the cluster nodes, and all modules running on them.
    "Config Tool":-Config Tool enables you to run the server in remote debug mode.
    Again Config Tool enables you to add dispatcher and server nodes to the SAP J2EE Engine 6.20 Cluster.With the help of config tool we are enable to modification of service or manager module properties.
    Third part Start procedure
    "Visual Administrator" check the below link

  • Look & Feel difference between admin consoles of WL 8.1, 9.2 and 10.3

    2. If there is difference, are the differences minor or major?
