Managing Opatch when Patching with OEM
I am using Patches and Updates in OEM for patching. When I start a patch cycle, I expect the patches applied to Dev then QA and then finally PROD to be the same, including opatch. However, every night the job opatch_patch_updates runs and downloads the latest and greatest version of opatch. So, I can apply a set of patches to QA with opatch 123 but when I go to apply the patches to PROD, the opatch version may have been updated to the latest opatch - opatch 234.
I can manage it by suspending the opatch_patch_update job but I wondering if anyone else has found a better solution.
