How to uninstall backout rollback an Oracle Applications 11i Patch

How to backout rollback an Oracle Applications 11i Patch

There is no automated method of backing out patches.
This can be a really complex operation which depends on the patch complexity and sometime the mostreasonable suggestion is to restore from a backup.

Main Advices :
- In all cases before applying a large number of patches, a series of mini-packs, family packs, ora maintenance pack, back up the Oracle Applications file system and database.

- You should always test the application of a patch several times on a test system, particularlyif the patch is a mini-pack, family pack, or maintenance pack. Once the test application issuccessful, apply the patch on the production system.

- Determine the cause of the failure.In many cases, the issue can be resolved and the patching process restarted at the point of failure.

If you are not able to solve the issue for the patch application, you have to consider 2 cases :
- Backing out the files from the APPL_TOP
- Backing out the Database actions
