You can also enable the maintenance mode by calling the scripts in sql prompt sqlplus /@adsetmmd.sql ENABLE DISABLE

When adsetmmd.sql runs, it sets the Profile Option 'Applications Maintenance Mode' (APPS_ MAINTENANCE_MODE) to 'MAINT' to Enable 'Maintenance Mode' and to 'NORMAL' to Disable it.

If you don't want to put apps in maintenance mode you can use adpatch options=hotpatch feature.
Can you apply patch without putting Applications 11i in Maintenance mode ?
Yes, use options=hotpatch as mentioned above with adpatch.

What are various options available with adpatch ?
Various options available with adpatch depending on your AD version are autoconfig, check_exclusive, checkfile, compiledb, compilejsp, copyportion, databaseprtion, generateportion, hotpatch, integrity, maintainmrc, parallel, prereq, validate
