clone Oracle Home for database upgrade 10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.4
I've got a client with both dev and test db's in
the same home on a Window 2003 64bit box and they want dev upgraded
from 10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.4 separately from test.
I'd like to know if anyone else has tried my plan and can point out any gotchas or give me heads up on lessens learned and/or suggest a better way.
My plan right now is to us Grid Control to clone the Oracle Home currently containing all the instances, just the home without attached database, then apply the upgrade to the cloned home, point the listner at the new home for dev and start and run the catupgrd.sql. When I clone I plan to bring over the pwd file and *.ora or basically everything except *.dbf
