Hi.

I have those patches and I have Xms to 2048 for BSU. It took me about 5
minutes to apply the October 2020 patch, mostly conflict checking. I've
done it on a bunch of machines and they all came out at about the same
speed.

Cheers

Tim...

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
