Two broad ways to apply patch interactive & noninteractive(You will supply required parameters on command line & patch will apply without asking you any questions as you have already provided answers)
You being new to apps patching will prefer to interactive way of patching , let adpatch throw series of questions & you answer each of these .If you want to use any option with adpatch enter adpatch with options= seprated by comma (If you don't supply any options it will take default value set for that particular option like compiledb & compilejsp)You have to issue adpatch from application user (User you entered as applications/middle tier user usually applmgr if you insatlled using oracle standard documentation like )
adpatch options=nocompiledb,nocompilejsp Based on you AD verison it will ask you questions like with some suggested value
