OCM with Oracle Applications R12 in Disconnected Mode

Software Configuration Manager (SCM) now known as Oracle Configuration Manager(OCM) came across dramatic changes from its introduction.

During intial release of Oracle Applications R12.0 OCM is incorprated with Autoconfig and introduced some new autoconfig variables.

Now accroding to Note:727157.1, no more OCM Configuration or OCM management via Autoconfig.

Most of the customers are worried to configure OCM in connected mode, due to security calls.
It requires internet connectivity (with or without proxy) to the OCM installed node.
Connected mode uploads the collected data to metalink via https protocol.

Below are the steps to configure OCM With Oracle Applications R12 in disconnected mode.
In Disconnected mode the Apps DBA or Applications Administrator, has to manually upload the collected data(ocmconfig.jar) by OCM to metalink.

Refer 763142.1 to know the procedure of manually uploading collected data (ocmconfig.jar)

What we are going to do is, remove existing OCM setup/stage files, and install the newly downloaded OCM version

1. Remove Metalink, CSI related information from Context XML file
