Hi Matt,

'Patching' is the bane of the Oracle Applications world and not to be taken lightly. As for the question, you will not be able to apply the patch without previously having installed it's dependencies. Btw, which version of Apps are you at?

Break out the docs - you are going to need them! (Help is also available in the form of another Listserv at www.oaug.net <http://www.oaug.net> - look for the OAUGnet-DBA List).

I just got a lovely requirement to patch an Oracle Purchasing instance. (Evidently, I'm suddenly an Oracle Applications DBA, how did that happen?)

Anyway, the patch (2094819) appears to depend on another patch (2092683) that does not appear to exist anywhere I can find it.

Any Applications DBAs out there care to comment on the danger of appliying the former
without first applying the latter?
