Answer 1

You need to apply the Patch first.
Download p9171651_R12.OAM.B_R12_GENERIC.zip Patch.
Stop Applications.
Apply the Patch with adpatch and use driver file u9171651.drv.
Post steps to be done as listed below as per Patch Readme.
Description
This patch must be applied on all the APPL_TOPs.
If your system is implemented as a Shared Application Tier File System,
you need to apply this patch only once, on any one of the application
tier nodes. However, AutoConfig must be executed on all the Nodes.
This patch can be applied on 12.1 or higher.
Post Install Steps
After applying this patch, update all Database Tier Nodes with the code level
provided by this patch, by performing the following steps :
1. On the Application Tier (as the APPLMGR user):
. Source the environment variables for Oracle Applications
UNIX:
. ./<APPL_TOP>/APPS<CONTEXT_NAME>.env
Windows:
<APPL_TOP>\envshell<CONTEXT_NAME>.cmd
. Run AutoConfig on the APPL_TOP
. Execute admkappsutil.pl utility to create the file appsutil.zip
perl <AD_TOP>/bin/admkappsutil.pl
This will create appsutil.zip in <INST_TOP>/admin/out
Note:
For exact details on how to run Autoconfig and how to create appsutil.zip,
please refer to Metalink Note 387859.1.
2. On the Database Tier (as the ORACLE user):
. Source the environment variables for RDBMS ORACLE_HOME
UNIX:
cd <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>
. ./<RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>/<CONTEXT_NAME>.env
Windows:
<RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>\<CONTEXT_NAME>.cmd
. Copy or FTP the appsutil.zip file to the <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>
. Uncompress appsutil.zip under the <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>
cd <ORACLE_HOME>
unzip -o appsutil.zip
. Run AutoConfig on the <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>
Note:
For exact details on how to run Autoconfig on the dbTier and how transfer
the AutoConfig updates from the APPL_TOP to the RDBMS ORACLE_HOME please
refer to Metalink Note 387859.1, Section 2, Step 3 (Patching AutoConfig).
3. Re-run adpreclone.pl on the dbTier and appsTier
Warning:
Since new updates included on this patch have been applied to the system,
Adpreclone must be executed again in order to apply them into the clone
directory structures used during cloning.
perl adpreclone.pl dbTier
perl adpreclone.pl appsTier
Note:
For exact details on how to run adpreclone.pl, please refer to Metalink
Note 406982.1.
