Most efficient method for downloading/merging large number of Recommended Patches w/Patch Wizard??
We're starting another normal "Patch Current" cycle where we're using Patch Wizard to recommend/download/merge the high-priority patches we don't currently have in our 12.1.3 environment. We last did this in Oct '11 and already have 150+ add'l High Priority recommended patches.
Our process is:
1) run the Recommend/Analyze Patches: Create Recommendation using the 'Recommended Patches' filter
2) Then once that completes, click the 'Detail' of the 'Recommended Patches' item in the Results list, select the unapplied patches, click download. Then Patch Wizard will take us to the Patch Selection page where it auto-populates the patch list field with our selected patches & we also make sure the merged patch option is correct.
