ADOP .... UGH! ... SO SLOW!
So I applied a small patch using the following:
adop phase=prepare,apply,finalize,cutover,cleanup workers=16 patchtop=D:\Patches\xxxxxxxx
This took an incredible 1 hr, 9 mins to complete. The patch itself took just about a minute (maybe less) to be applied. So all the other ADOP admin stuff took 1hr, 8 minutes.
Am I missing something? Is this what I have to look forward to now with ADOP because Oracle was so focused on eliminating down-time with this new patching technology? I have a very small environment, so this trade-off between small down-time vs time-to-patch is an absolute HORRIBLE trade-off for us.
