Hi, I received the following list of missing updates from the weekly security scan: Do I have to install all updates or only the last one from October 2020 ? Thank you in advance for your help.
Patch Set Updates are cumulative. That said, we don't know what your security scan is doing and how it is making its determinations.
Thank you , EdStevens.
Hi
you submitted your question on January 27th, so at the time of your writing January 2021 CPU is already released....so its better to apply this quarter patches that will include all previous patches (that are missing). to check the current patch level in 12cR2 (based on your snapshot image you are using 12cR2 release): select * from dba_registry_sqlpatch;
Regards, Emad

Hi, there are many resources online....for example: Patching Oracle Database 18.1.0 to 18.2.0 on premises (0 Bytes)Patching Oracle 18c database in Windows (0 Bytes) Another thing, when you download the patches from Oracle portal there is HTML file associated with the patch "read me" file that describes also the steps in sequence.
I hope this helps
@Emad Al-Mousa It helped. Thank you very much.
