Note: The patch set software is now installed in the installation Oracle home. You now have to install the required SAP Bundle Patch. For this installation I will not perform this installation but it’s highly recommended that you apply the latest SBP, it contains a lot of errors corrections, relevant PSU (Patchset Updates), merge fixes, oracle patches, etc. For more information about the SAP bundle patch please read the following SAP notes:
