The patchsets are cumulative. You don't need to put 9.2.0.5 on then 9.2.0.6 then 9.2.0.7 you would just put on 9.2.0.7.

But you need to have some kind of a plan for making sure that the oracle maintenance patchset does really work for you and doesn't cause your applications problems.

Don't believe what I say though please read thoroughly through all of the oracle documentation and consider what your worst cases are.

If your system is not a throw away system you better have a plan for backing up stuff before doing any maintenance installs.

Sorry don't know anything about Workspace Manager is that part of the Oracle Application Server? Received on Wed Oct 19 2005 - 12:07:28 CDT
