apply quarterly db patch + ojvm out of place in new cloned oracle home

I have been testing applying the recent Jan 2021 ru 19c database quarterly patch + ojvm patch out of place to reduce database downtime. When applying these in succession taking a longer downtime, I have no errors.

But I have tested the following and had a question if anyone runs into similar. (this is non-rac straight 19c database only)

  • use installer to clone oracle home and create a new home
  • apply jan ru patch + ojvm patch to new empty home and both are successful
  • shutdown database and restart under new patched home

this is where I hit an issue - ojvm requires a 'startup upgrade' in the readme - the db ru patch is just a startup of the db, I can't find any reference if trying the out of place method if the database should be in only one of these modes initially when running datapatch.

Howdy, Stranger!
