This will probably be an SR to be sure about it, but I'm wondering if anyone has seen this and knows already. I have an 11.2.0.3.0 RAC built from scratch as 11.2.0.3.0. I have a patch to install (patch 13440962) and the patch says:

# Note: The RDBMS portion can only be applied to an RDBMS home that # has been upgraded to *11.2.0.1.0*.

This would lead me to believe I do not want to do the RDBMS portion in my case, because I was never at 11.2.0.1.0. I'm assuming that means I can't and shouldn't apply it to mine, but the wording certainly could be clearer. It might also mean, that in my case, if I try to apply it it will just fail and say you don't need it, that would be fine.

Has anyone applied this patch and know exactly what they mean?

Thanks,

Jed
