Object Comments

Right-clicking on a selected object in the object list opens a pop-up menu with additional functions. Select Edit Comments from this pop-up menu. This opens the Object Comments window.

In this window you can edit or add comments to an object. You should use this space to document the changes made, why they were made, and any other pertinent information. You can also cut, copy, and paste into this window. You can add comments up to 2,000 characters in length.

For objects that have been added via the Read CSR Wizard, Stat automatically inserts a comment noting the source CSR, the date and time, and the user who performed the action.

Patch Management

Quest® Stat® provides comprehensive patch support for Oracle® Applications. After downloading the patches you need from Metalink, the Oracle web support service, you can use the Stat Oracle Applications Management Console to manage and keep record of these patches, associate them with a CSR, and apply them to your Oracle Applications environments.

The Oracle Applications Management Console displays a record of each patch that has been uploaded into the Stat Repository. From here you can upload new patches, edit the Stat attributes associated with the patches, merge two or more patches into a single patch, and schedule the execution of particular maintenance steps before or after a patch is applied to an environment. To open the Oracle Applications Management Console, select Consoles | Oracle Applications Console.

The Patch Inventory tab displays information in a read-only format. To edit a patch, select it and click Edit. This opens the Edit Oracle App Patch window where you can deactivate the selected patch or modify its definition.

Uploading Patches

Stat's patch import utility enables you to upload Oracle® Applications patches to the Quest® Stat® Repository. When you upload a patch, Stat automatically unzips the zip file downloaded from Metalink and reads the contents of the Readme file. From this point forward, the zip file is managed within Stat. The Readme file and other information within the zip file is used by Stat to populate several fields in the Patch Inventory tab with default values. You can complete the definition of the patch by specifying additional patch values as needed.

1
Click New.
5
(Optional) Click View in the Readme column.
6
Click OK or Apply.
7
(Optional) Click Delete Content if for whatever reason you want to remove the patch file from the Stat Repository.
You may want to delete a patch file if, for example, you have already applied it to an environment and want to free up space in the Stat Repository, or you have uploaded it in error. Clicking Delete Content only removes the patch zip file from the Stat Repository. The record of it being uploaded or applied to an environment remains in the Stat patch history.
8
To add another patch zip file for this patch, click Upload and repeat the upload process.
