How to Download Latest Opatch

Before Downloading OPatch

If you're the first time to apply patches, you have to add OPatch to $PATH in order to apply your patches anywhere. If you have done it, you can skip this step.

[oracle@test ~]$ vi .bash_profile
...
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch
[oracle@test ~]$ . .bash_profile
[oracle@test ~]$ which opatch
/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/db_1/OPatch/opatch
