When should you Patch a new install of 12c - before upgrading a database or after

Hello,

I currently have an Oracle 11.2.0.4 database environment.

I am running on a Unix machine with Solaris 10.

I am upgrading from 11.2.0.4 to 12.1.0.2.  I have installed the 12c software and I am ready to do the upgrade of one of the databases.  I am confused as to what the correct order should be for applying patches and performing the upgrade.

Our patching consist of doing the OJVM combo patch (with the database PSU) which ends by running the datapatch utility to complete the patching. 

I have read conflicting statements online about when to apply the latest patches (in this case the October 2017).

Howdy, Stranger!
