Applying Out-of-Cycle Database Patches - opatch/opatchauto
We are planning to follow the "Applying Out-of-Cycle Database Patches" to patch a standby database home from 19.9 to 19.12 in our ODA X8 HA.
Can we use the "opatch apply" (manually) to apply Database Release Update 19.12 or do we have to use the command "opatchauto apply -oh $ORACLE_HOME -inplace" according to the instructions?
Thanks in advance, Brad.
