Autopatch Timing Report. Useful information that helps you to plan your Production Downtime.

I was all set to write a shell script that will parse the patch log file and arrive at top time consuming sqls that will help me know the time taken by the sqls for the upgrades. After constantly watching the Maintenance Pack ( 3480000 ) session for 30+ hours. The following lines of the autopatch session caught my attention.

sqlplus -s APPS/***** @/xxxx/xxxx/xxxxappl/ad/11.5.0/admin/sql/adtimrpt.sql 5578 adt05578

A job timing report has been generated for the current session.
You should check the file
/xxxx/xxxx/xxxxappl/admin/XXXXXX/out/adt05578.lst

for details.

Out of curiosity I opened the file "adt05578.lst", I saw the information that I was exactly looking for.
