"buildstage.sh" script should be executed from the latest start CD.
- Check the size of TechPatches directory before copying the latest one-off patches
[root@erpnode3 R12_Stage]# ls -l TechPatches/ total 8 drwxr-xr-x 55 root root 4096 Oct 27 20:37 DB drwxr-xr-x 69 root root 4096 Oct 27 20:37 MiddleTier [root@erpnode3 R12_Stage]# du -sh TechPatches/ 1.3G TechPatches/ [root@erpnode3 R12_Stage]#
The size of the directory is 1.3 GB.
- Select option 2 for copying patches to an existing stage area, This will copy all latest one-off patches to the available R12 Stage directory.

[root@erpnode3 R12_Stage]# ls -l TechPatches/

drwxr-xr-x 56 root root 4096 Jan 6 15:21 DB
drwxr-xr-x 71 root root 4096 Jan 6 15:21 MiddleTier

1.5G TechPatches/

Conclusion:
If you're planning to Install/Upgrade to oracle EBS R12.2.4 then I would highly recommend to use latest startCD. This will prepare your system ready for R12.2.4 upgrade it will Install most of the required pre-requisites patches for R12.2.4 upgrade. If you Install/Upgrade with older version of startCD then you may need to Install all these patches manually.
Also always keep an eye on MOS note :
| "Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2: Consolidated List of Patches and Technology Bug Fixes (Doc ID 1594274.1)"
This tech note contains all patches and bugs included in different startCD and all other required patches,
Hope its helpful :)

You see, Wesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he unveiled hidden, "mind control" tactics that the CIA and others used to get whatever they want.
THESE are the same methods tons of celebrities (notably those who "come out of nowhere") and elite business people used to become wealthy and successful.
You probably know how you use only 10% of your brain.
That's really because most of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.
Maybe that thought has even occurred INSIDE your very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head seven years back, while riding an unregistered, garbage bucket of a car with a suspended license and with $3 on his debit card.
"I'm very fed up with going through life check to check! When will I become successful?"
You've been a part of those those types of conversations, ain't it right?
Your own success story is going to start. You just have to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
