Applying patch from server start script:

After downloading the patch (jar file) follow the below steps:

- Stop your server.

- Then take the path of the folder which has the CRxxxxxx_xxxmpx.jar file and copy it in the CLASSPATH of setDomainEnv.cmd which is in

(/user_projects/domains//bin/setDomainEnv.cmd)

For example, the script would look something like this:

set CLASSPATH=%PRE_CLASSPATH%;%WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH%; C:extramy_projectsdocCRCR218639_920mp3.jar;C:extramy_projectsdoc CR CR360676_920mp3.jar;C:extramy_projectsdocCRCR367966_920mp3.jar; C:extramy_projectsdocCRCR368155_920mp3.jar;C:extramy_projectsdocCRCR370311_920mp3.jar

- Re-start your server.

- You should see the patch applied in the stdout file.
