Out-of-Place patching, Oracle Homes and 3rd party tools

in Database Install/Upgrade/Opatch (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered

After patching and moving to a new home, how does everyone update the OH in 3rd party tools/applications (e.g. enterprise backup solution)?

For example (Linux):

Old OH: /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0.0

New OH: /u01/app/oracle/product/19.12.0.0

Seems impractical to update all 3rd party tools with this new path every quarter.

Can you create a generic symbolic link (e.g /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0.0) that points to the current OH (e.g. /u01/app/oracle/product/19.12.0.0)? So whenever I patch, I just update the link....
