Stepts to Upgrade 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.4 in Windows
My scenario:
Server A = 11.2.0.1 (existing and running)
Server B = new server (no Oracle RDBMS on it yet)
Server A and B = Same Windows OS
Folder structures/directories and names are the same on Server A and Server B. So existing scripts that are working in Server A can be reused as is in Server B.
Can I then do these steps?
1. install 11.2.0.4 (patch 13390677) rdbms software on server B.
2. shutdown 11.2.0.1 on server A
3. copy all control files, redo logs, dbf files, init.ora. db scripts over to server A.
4. start up 11.2.0.4. will it start?
or
1. install 11.2.0.4 (patch 13390677) rdbms software on server B and create a base DB with identical tablespaces (names and sizes) as the ones in 11.2.0.1
