Applying multiple patches in a given adop cycle, where by one of the patches fails to compile a form.  Instead of having adop error out, and having to redo all of the patches, just have adop log the message and continue on with the patch application.

Typical message that a user sees when adop fails during a patching cycle.

Continue as if it were successful :
***

AutoPatch could not find a response to the above prompt
or found an incorrect response in the defaults file.

You must run AutoPatch in an interactive session and provide a correct value.

Solution :




Currently the only way to “Continue as if a patch were successful” is by making use of the following parameter “flags=autoskip” in conjunction with the “abandon=no” parameter at the command-line.

For example: 
           

adop phase=apply patches=17020683 abandon=no restart=yes flags=autoskip
