APPS - how to apply patch HOT (without enabling maintenance mode)

Use the following option when calling adpatch:

   options=hotpatch

EXAMPLE:

   adpatch defaultsfile=/u02/app/applmgr/11.5/admin/SIDNAME/def.txt \
        logfile=all_5162862.log \
        patchtop=/copy/APPS_PATCHES/2006/002/5162862 \
        driver=u5162862.drv \
        workers=4 \
        interactive=yes \
        options=novalidate,hotpatch

In the above example we will:
   apply patch# 5162862
   using u5162862.drv driver
   using 4 workers
   in interactive mode
   without validating pre-reqs
   without enabling maintenance mode (hotpatch)

NOTE:
   you can safely drop defaultsfile from the call if you don't have one created
