Rajesh,

Yes, I have those patches applied.  The install of the patch is still running
about an hour.  I have tried other versions of the MEM_ARGS to get better
performance.  Frustrating!

How long does it take for you to apply the patches?

LeRoy,
Probably a rhetorical question - but have you applied Patches 12426828
SMARTUPDATE 3.3 INSTALLER PLACEHOLDER and  27238412 to update bsu.sh ?

Thanks,

Hello –

I am running Linux 6 with Weblogic 10.3.6.  I am trying to apply the patches
for the CPU Oct 2020.  I am using the bsu.sh command line to do the patching.
The execution is taking forever!!

Things I have tried-

  1.  Increase the Xms to 2048
  2.  Increase the Xmx to 4096, but due to swapping – reduced back down to 2048
  3.  Set -XX:+UseParallelGC to attempt to get threading
  4.  Set -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit to allow GC more room
  5.  Rebooted

Does anyone have a solution to speed this up??  This has been running for 2
hours now…..

LeRoy
