Why it’s important to run the 11.1.2.x on Windows platform with Admin access

The InstallTool.cmd , ConfigTool.cmd and the Opatch needs to be run as administrator especially in the  windows platforms

Background

Issue #1

Make sure the Installtoll.cmd and the ConfigTool.cmd is as invoked as “Right-click” and select Run As Administrator.

Make sure you open the cmd.exe As Administrator and then apply the patch.
