OPatch Version
Hello, everybody
I have a question regarding updating the OPatch tool.
When running opatch lsinventory I get these informations:
oracle$ ./opatch lsinventory

OPatch version : 11.1.0.9.0

Although our other applications are already updated:

What are the benefits on updating the OPatch itself ? is it any pre-requisite for upgrading other applications in the future ?
