How to apply RU and one-off patches in single steps during 'runInstaller'

Step 1: Prepare the binary and patch folders.

Use additional subdirectory in $ORACLE_HOME/patch to avoid PatchSearch.xml file overwritten after unzip.

unzip -q V982063-01.zip -d /u01/db
rm -rf /u01/db/OPatch
unzip -q p6880880_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip -d /u01/db
mkdir /u01/db/patch
unzip -q p32900021_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip -d /u01/db/patch/32900021/
unzip -q p31335037_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip -d /u01/db/patch/31335037
unzip -q p31335142_190000_Generic.zip -d /u01/db/patch/31335142

Step 2: Run the installer with "applyRU" and "applyOneOffs" parameters.

• RU is the database RU patch, instead of the combo (RU+OJVM) patch.
• Multiple one-off patches seperated by comma (,)

cd /u01/db
./runInstaller -applyRU patch/32900021/32900021/32904851 \
    -applyOneOffs patch/31335037/31335037,patch/31335142/31335142 \
    -silent -ignorePrereqFailure -waitforcompletion \

    UNIX_GROUP_NAME=oinstall \
    INVENTORY_LOCATION=/u01/app/oraInventory \
    ORACLE_HOME=/u01/db \

In the event of 19.11 onwards, including OJVM patch part of "applyOneOffs", you may hit following errors:

In this case, take out OJVM patches out of the OneOffs, and apply it later using "opatch" after "runInstaller" completed successfully.
