Hi everyone, hope you’re doing well.
This blog post is to announce that AutoUpgrade-Composer has been updated to v.25.4-3.
The Inspiration
Yesterday, Daniel blogged about a feature on AutoUpgrade Patching which is really cool: dynamic path for Target Oracle Home.
You can check it here:
AutoUpgrade New Features: Create Oracle Home Path Dynamically
I will not explain this new feature again, as Daniel covered it thoroughly, as always!
Thinking about that, I discussed this with Alex Zaballa and decided to include this option in the Patch Section of AutoUpgrade-Composer. Thank you, Alex!
The New Feature: Dynamic Path
So, now, we have the following option in the Patch section:

If we click on Dynamic Path, the value for Target Home will be changed dynamically, but you still can make changes if you want:

After this, the Generated Config will also be updated:

If you change the path for Source Home, eg.: /u01/app/oracle/19.15 and choose to use Dynamic Path, it also will be changed keeping the same pattern: /u01/app/oracle/%RELEASE%.%UPDATE%.
Please note that different from the example Daniel is providing, %RELEASE%%UPDATE%, which would be translated to 1928, I’m using %RELEASE%.%UPDATE%, which will be translated to 19.28, there is a dot between RELEASE and UPDATE variables.
Note that this option for Dynamic Path is only available under the following modes:
- Analyze.
- Fixups.
- Create Home.
- Deploy.
Cool, isn’t it?
Hope it helps!
Peace!
