Hi I was searching for answers on patch 20127071
from https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/Services/download?type=readme&aru=18441244
Quote:
Table 1 Installation Types and Security Content
Client-Only Installations
NONE
Instant Client Installations
NONE
But if you read further down....
3.5 Patch Installation Instructions for Oracle Instant Client
For OUI based Client-Admin installations, the 'opatch apply' takes care of updating your installation with these latest Instant Client binaries.
For Other types of Instant Client installations, Follow these steps:
Backup and replace sqora32.dll file in the Instant Client installation with sqora32.dll from the 20127071\files\bin directory
Although it was very clear that I need to do a out of place upgrade to 11.2.0.4 for db home, the instruction seem contradicting for oracle client home.
So I was wondering do I need to do an out of place upgrade to 11.2.0.4 for client home before applying the patch to client home.
many thanks for the advice in advance!
