To run the SPBAT utility, navigate to the IDM_SPB_12.2.1.4_<VERSION>/tools/spbat/generic/SPBAT/ directory.

The SPBAT utility usage and execution steps are as follows:

• To get usage details on the command line, enter:

  [Unix]
  ./spbat.sh

  [Windows]
  spbat.bat

• To obtain SPBAT utility version, enter:

  ./spbat.sh -version

• To apply the patches using SPBAT utility, enter:

  [Unix]
  ./spbat.sh -type <install_type> -phase <phase> -mw_home <mw_home> -spb_download_dir <spb_download_dir> -log_dir <log_dir>

  [Windows]
  spbat.bat -type <install_type> -phase <phase> -mw_home <mw_home> -spb_download_dir <spb_download_dir> -log_dir <log_dir>

  Here:
  -install_type:	The install type or IDM component, such as oam/oig/oud/oid.
  -phase:	The various phases of applying the patch, such as PreStop/Downtime/PostStart.
  -mw_home:	The path to Oracle Home directory.
  -spb_download_dir:	The path to IDM_SPB_12.2.1.4_<VERSION> stage location directory.
  -log_dir (optional):	The path to log_dir directory, this is where you want logs to go on your file system. The default directory is created under IDM_SPB_<VERSION>/tools/spbat/generic/SPBAT/logs location, or you can set your own location which exists and has "write" access.
  -verbose (optional):	To be set to "true" or "false" value. This is to display additional information on the default output stream (STDOUT).
  -force (optional and applicable for PreStop phase):	To be set to "true" or "false" value. When set to "true", it forces performing all the validations.

• To know the status of SPBAT anytime once the patching has started, enter:

  [Unix]
  ./spbat.sh -status report -type <install_type> -mw_home <mw_home> -log_dir <log_dir>

  [Windows]
  spbat.bat -status report -type <install_type> -mw_home <mw_home> -log_dir <log_dir>

  Here:
  -report:	is a constant implying status report.
  -install_type:	refers to install type, such as oam/oig/oud/oid.
  -mw_home:	is the path to Oracle Home directory.
  -log_dir (optional):	The path to log_dir directory, this is where you want logs to go on your file system. The default directory is created under IDM_SPB_<VERSION>/tools/spbat/generic/SPBAT/logs location, or you can set your own location which exists and has "write" access.
