                                      $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/admin.

                                  3. Set the environment to point to ORACLE_HOME on the database server.

                                  4. Use SQL*Plus to run the script:
                                      UNIX:
                                     $ sqlplus /nolog
                            SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/admin/adgrants.sql APPS

Update database tier nodes with the Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3 code level.
After you have upgraded to Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3, perform the following post-update

 
Steps to update all database tier nodes with the code level, provided by Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3:

Application tier:
               • As the APPLMGR user, run the environment (UNIX) or the command (WINDOWS) file for the
                  current APPL_TOP.

                         UNIX
                         . ./$APPL_TOP/APPS CONTEXT_NAME.env

              • Run AutoConfig on the APPL_TOP.
              • Run the admkappsutil.pl utility to create the file appsutil.zip in the /admin/out 
                 directory.

                           perl $AD_TOP/bin/admkappsutil.pl

Database tier:
 
               • As the ORACLE user, run the environment (UNIX) or the command (WINDOWS) file for the current
                  ORACLE_HOME.

                UNIX
                     cd $RDBMS ORACLE_HOME
                     . ./$RDBMS ORACLE_HOME/CONTEXT_NAME.env

             • Copy or FTP the appsutil.zip file to the RDBMS ORACLE_HOME.

             • Uncompress appsutil.zip under the RDBMS ORACLE_HOME.

                   cd $ORACLE_HOME
                   unzip -o appsutil.zip

            • Run AutoConfig on the $RDBMS ORACLE_HOME.

                 perl $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin/adbldxml.pl
                cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin/
                sh adconfig.sh
Database tier and application tier:
                         • Re-run adpreclone.pl on the database tier and the application tier. Since updates included in
                            Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3 were applied to the system, adpreclone must be run
                            again to apply the updates to the clone directory structures that were used during cloning.
 
                                        perl adpreclone.pl dbTier
                                        perl adpreclone.pl appsTier


c) Disable Maintenance Mode
d) Start all Application Services
