There are two types of patching mode.

– Out of place – In this option, A new Oracle binary will be created and
the patch will be applied on top of that. And database will started from
the new Oracle home. This is recommended method, because, it
reduced DB downtime and also during patching to binary if some issue
happens, then also the old ORACLE_HOME is intact.

– In place – Here the database and listeners running from that home

will be shut down , Then patch will be applied to that ORACLE_HOME,
once done database will be started with post patch.

Here I have selected In place.

 

Set the ORACLE_HOME credentials, If not then use override and set

the database server host username and password.
Now run the validation, to check the conflicts. This validation shouldn’t
show any errors.
Now the validation is successful, Now go for DEPLOYMENT.
With this patching has been completed. Now you can log in to the
database and check the patch registry.
