To create a software profile version for a newly-released Oracle ISc patch, an administrator should follow these steps:
* Download the required patch from MyOracle Support1. This is because Oracle patches are typically available from MyOracle Support, not Microsoft Support.
* Apply the patch to the Oracle Home/Grid Home on a cloned VM of the gold image using OPatchAuto1.
OPatchAuto is a utility provided by Oracle that automates the process of applying patches to a database.
* Ensure success of patch application1. It's important to verify that the patch has been applied successfully to avoid any issues down the line.
* Create a new software profile version from the original software profile using the cloned VM where OPatchAuto was run successfully using Era GUI1. This step is necessary to ensure that the new patch is included in the software profile.
* Mark the original patch profile as hidden1. This step is optional but can be useful for keeping the software profile clean and organized.
