Key Takeaways from the recent hrglobal.drv patch installation for EBS r12.2

 1. Metalink note does not provide explicit step to source patch fs before running below adop command. Please source it before running adop apply so that right hrglobal.drv is picked up from PATCH_BASE and not RUN_BASE

2. Please run the patch with parallel worker process by appending - workers=8, again this is not mentioned in the hrglobal.drv and will speed up the patch apply.

3. There are some pre-requisite patches before applying hrglobal.drv. make sure they are applied. They are actually listed on the lower end of the metalink document but must be applied before running hrglobal.drv patch.

4. I tried running DataInstall with hostname of the db server, but it failed to execute, while the same went through when used IP

java oracle.apps.per.DataInstall apps appspwd thin 10.3.x.xxx:<PORT DB>:<DB_SID>
