ODA X6-2 and X7-2 18.5 to 18.7 Upgrade Observations
ODA X6-2 and X7-2 18.5 to 18.7 Upgrade Observations
I've just updated a couple of ODA X6-2L's and an ODA X7-2M from 18.5 to 18.7 and thought I'd detail a couple of issues I encountered and the workarounds.
The ODA servers host various 11.2.0.4 Standard Edition databases.
purgeLogs
As part of the patching process I always update the purgeLogs script to the latest version.
The latest version was v1.53 but during dry-run testing I found it was going to delete certain ACFS log config files.
I raised the issue on the ODA Forum and the developer released v1.54 the same day to address the issue and this version works as expected.
