SPU patching doubt

edited Jan 30, 2020 12:18PM in Database Administration (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered

Hello:

I have a doubt on how to proceed on patching the latest SPU to an Oracle 11.2.0.4 database. I have never done only SPU patching; I always have applied patchsets releases or bundle patches (PSU + SPU). In these cases as an impact on application could be expected the developer had to do complete test on test environment before applying those patchs to production environment. And they have to allow for it (and maybe a budge).

As SPU contains only security fixes I was wondering if application testing could be more relaxed (or maybe not done); can I apply SPU patches in the same manner I apply security fixes on Operative System? This means just do it and notify.

Howdy, Stranger!
