Patch 23095307 is the newest system patch for the Enterprise Manager 13c family. This patch will be applied with the new patch tool OMSPatcher (see blog post http://dbakevlar.com/2016/05/em13c-applying-system-patches-with-the-oms-patcher from @dbakevlar for details). To apply this patch, the OMS has to be stopped.
Prerequisites
- OMS 13.1.0.0.0
- OMSPatcher 13.6.0.0.1 – I have installed it in directory /u00/app/oracle/product/em13cr1/OMSPatcher
- URL / Username / Password from your EM13c Weblogic AdminServer (emctl status oms -details)
- Patch 23095307 is unzipped and available in a local directory, in my case it’s in /u00/app/oracle/stage
oracle@solothurn:/u00/app/oracle/product/em13cr1/OMSPatcher/ [oms13101] ./omspatcher version OMSPatcher Version: 13.6.0.0.1 OPlan Version: 12.1.0.2.2 OsysModel build: Wed Oct 14 06:21:23 PDT 2015 OMSPatcher succeeded.
The newest OMSPatcher can be downloaded according the My Oracle Support Note How to upgrade the OMSPatcher to latest version of OMSPatcher (Doc ID 2135028.1)
Patch Verification
For the verification you don’t have to shutdown the OMS. Be sure that your ORACLE_HOME is set to the EM13c installation directory.

OMSPatcher completed with warnings.
As you can see, there is a WARNING in the output that a sub-patch is incompatible with the oracle.sysman.ssa.oms.plugin version 13.1.1.0.0. The SSA.OMS plugin is a plugin for the cloud self service zone. The patch 23092170 is the EM Cloud Plugin Bundle Patch 13.1.1.0.160429. I don’t have installed the cloud plugin during the installation of the EM13 because we don’t use it, now the OMSPatcher wants this plugin.
Installation of the missing Plugins
To resolve the warning, I have installed the two missing plugins. The Oracle Cloud Application plugin requires the Oracle Virtualization plugin first. Attention: If you install the plugins on the Oracle Management Server, the OMS will be restarted during plugin installation process.
The Oracle Virtualization Plugin
The Oracle Cloud Application Plugin

Now the analyze job runs without any warnings or errors. I have removed some lines in the output for better reading.

OMSPatcher succeeded.
Patch successfully applied
The patch is applied, the OMS can be started again. I don’t know why the patch needs the plugins. My understanding from the plugins is to have a small installation, and only the components which will be used should be configured. And at this point, personally I would expect only an INFORMATION that some components are not installed so they not will be patched and not a WARNING.
The OMSPatcher is a new tool for the EM13c patching, maybe there are some improvements in one of the next releases.
