Oracle 19c: does "opatch apply" always require a downtime of the database?

Hi all ,

we are on Oracle 19c (19.8.0) and due to a bug (impdp) the Oracle Support sugested to apply patch 29613245  (Patch for Bug# 29613245). The README.txt of the patch does not mention that all databases/Oracle services of the ORACLE_HOME which will get patched have to be stopped before applying the patch.Asking the Oracle Support if the databases must get stopped before applying patch 29613245 was answered with "yes". Taking a look at older patches (e.g. for Oracle 12c) the  README.txt files did mention to stop the database ("Ensure that you shut down all the services running from the Oracle home").

Howdy, Stranger!
