How to relink a single executable (binary file) using ADADMIN utility ?

In this post, I would like to write something useful for patching and fine-tuning. When times, we have to relink a particular binary file (executable) in connection with patching or else corrupted file etc. I am providing the step-by-step procedure of relinking a particular executable.

Login as owner of Application Tier and source the environment file before starting
$adadmin
You have to enter the answers to the prompt of adadmin as usual

At the AD Administration Main Menu select the option: Maintain Applications Files menu

1. At the Maintain Applications Files menu select the option: Relink Applications programs

2. At the prompt "Do you wish to proceed with the relink [Yes] ?" Hit return for the default option.

2. At the prompt "Enter the name of your Oracle Applications environment file below.
File name [*.env] : " Hit return for the default option or correct the file if necessary.

3. At the prompt "Enter list of products to link ('all' for all products) [all] :" enter the product's short name associated with the target executable, such as "fnd".

4. At the prompt "Generate specific executables for each selected product [No] ?" enter Yes

5. At the prompt "Relink with debug information [No] ?" Hit return for the default option.

6. At the prompt "Enter executables to relink, or enter 'all' [all] :" the exact name of the executable to be relinked.

Another short-cut is that
7. Go to cd $FND_TOP/bin
$ adrelink.sh force=y "fnd FNDLIBR"
$ adrelink.sh force=y "fnd FNDSM"
$ adrelink.sh force=y "fnd FNDFS"
$ adrelink.sh force=y "fnd FNDCRM"

Check the logfile for errors and warning

Cheers!!!
