Patching target before upgrade..
Hello,
I am planning Oracle DBMS upgrade from 12.1.0.2 to 12.2.0.1. According to Complete Checklist for Upgrading to Oracle Database 12c Release 2 (12.2) using DBUA (Doc ID 2189854.1):
Before you start an upgrade or downgrade process, Oracle strongly recommends that you update both your earlier release and your new release (12.2) Oracle Database to the latest Oracle bundle patch or patch set update (BP or PSU).
- Download and Install Oracle 12c Release 2 (12.2.0.1) in a new Oracle_Home and make sure there are no binary relinking errors.
- Download and Install the latest available Patch Set Update (PSU) or Bundle Patch (BP) (If available) from My Oracle Support (MOS).
