    Sometimes you might to remove a existing patch before you install a new patch. The command to remove a patch is similar to installing a new patch.

    ./bsu.sh -remove -patchlist=FCX7 -prod_dir=/psoft/middle/weblogic/10.3.6/wlserver

    To see a list of patches that are currently installed use "./bsu.sh -report"

    what do you mean by sometimes? can you help us all by elaborating the effects of having or not having to remove the previous/existing patch applied

    When using bsu to apply a new patch, the utility will check if a patch conflict exists, in which case the existing patch needs to be removed before you can move forward with the new patch.

    ery clear and straight forward. You might get the out of memory error exception. In that case just modify the MEM_ARGS parameter in the bsu.sh file as follows

    MEM_ARGS="-Xms1024m -Xmx2048m"="-Xms1024m -Xmx2048m"
