From the downloaded distributionzip file, extract the /database/oracle/upgrade folder. This folder includes a number of folders containing migration.sql sql and patch release SQL files, which upgrade the FlexDeploy schemas along with Patch Release SQL files.

You can find which files that you may have already executed by doing "select version, created_on, created_by from fd.fd_flexdeploy_version order by created_on desc" database query. Or you can view list of patches by using Administration - FlexDeploy Patches in FlexDeploy. |
Executing migration files
These scripts should be executed as system, sys, or another user which has privileges to create objects in other schemas, performs grants, etc. You can load and execute these scripts using other tools such as Toad or SQL Developer, but the instructions here are for using the sqlplus client.

Make sure to spool output to a file, so it can be analyzed later if necessary. To launch sqlplus:
If running on another host other than the database server, you must update your tnsnames file and and launch sqlplus as follows:
