Download and install patches for Oracle Database

[@fancystacy]

thank you very much. is there need to stop database for patching? I installed patches for grid on the fly without stopping cluster

[@upgradenow]

If you have a RAC database and all the patches that you are installing are RAC Rolling installable (you can see in each patch readme), then you can perform a rolling patch apply. The database will not be down. But each individual node will be taken down for a reboot. However, GI will move the services accordingly. Regards, Daniel

Hi, what about datapatch - verbose at the end?

[@upgradenow]

Hi Tomás, You are right that you must run datapatch when you patch databases. This video is about the Oracle Home, and we have another one about patching the database kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGaqhKaLiZehp9k. And it uses datapatch as you suggest. Regards, Daniel

[@upgradenow]

Hi, What do you mean by an MES patch for 11.2.0.4. I have not come across that before. Regards, Daniel

[@ggggangai]

@@upgradenow Thank you Daniel for your reply. Actually this is for TLS 1.2 update of the application that's why we have to update the version. So my fellow colleagues also feels the same. Regards, Gangaiguru.
