how to apply patch

[lweng]

Hi, I'm appling EM_22_1180760 patch. I use OUI to apply it. When I choose the dir where unzipped EM_22_1180760 patch located and click 'Next' and get error message '...make sure Soure file is valid'. According patch readme:

EM_22_1180760README:
You should overwrite existing files in the ORACLE_HOME with the files included in this ZIP. For a complete list of files included in this patch, as well as the locations where the files were copied, refer to EM_22_1180760.txt located in the ORACLE_HOME\sysman\patches\ directory.

EM_22_1180760.txt:
List of files included :
$ORACLE_HOME/classes/oracle/sysman/vdm/VdmSMTPSession.class

Should I just overwrite it instead of using OUI? Thanks

It SOUNDS like that would be a reasonable approach, but rather than risk it, I would recommend asking Oracle Support this question. Metalink would probably be your best bet - that way, you avoid having to wade through the phone queues.
