I original posted this question. Oracle support and the list member all
suggest to install the 817 first -> upgrade -> apply patch. However,
Oracle support said it will be ok if directly apply patch then upgrade
later. Since we need to upgrade our peoplesoft tools and oracle in the
same day, so we chose directly goes to 8172, eliminated the middle step.
So far no problems with that. (not fully tested yet, just on test
machine. Next week, we will go to production machine)
