ADSPLICE (adsplice) is a utility that installs a product definition in the database to make

it look as if it was installed by AutoInstall. The purpose of this is to make the product
'patchable' by AutoPatch. Products installed by ADSPLICE are only recognizable by
AutoPatch and ADADMIN (adadmin).

before applying this patch copy the following text files

dna/admin/dnaprod.txt
dna/admin/dnaterr.txt
dna/admin/newprods.txt(adsplice control file)

into your $APPL_TOP/admin directory.

2. Edit newprods.txt to refer to the correct default, data and index

tablespaces for DNA:

# first product
main_tspace=DNAD
index_tspace=DNAX
temp_tspace=TEMP
default_tspace=DNAD

Replace DNAD,DNAX and TEMP with the correct tablespace

names. Make sure that the tablespaces exist in your database.

3. Run adsplice command to splice DNA into your instance.

You must run adsplice from the admin directory under your APPL_TOP. When you are
asked to enter the name of your AD Splicer control file, enter newprods.txt.

AD Splicer will regenerate the environment file or registry

Verify that the environment variable MSR_TOP is set for your newly spliced products.

To check that MSR(product) has been spliced successfully, try logging to the
database using SQL*Plus as MSR/<password for MSR schema>. You should able to
connect successfully.

The patch requires all users be disconnected from the application before the patch is
applied. To ensure that none of the users are blocking the resource
('MSC_FORM_QUERY') required by this patch, you can run the following SQL
command by connecting to your database using SQL*Plus as system/<password for
system schema>:
select s.osuser, p.terminal, s.sid, s.serial#, p.program, p.spid, s.status
from v$session s, v$process p, v$access a
where a.object = 'MSC_FORM_QUERY'
and a.sid = s.sid
and p.addr = s.paddr;
