interim patch management strategy
Hello All,
There are 188 interim patches after 8.1.7.4 patchset. I know that
8.1.7.4 is the last patchset.
1. What methods/strategy do you'll have for installing patches on a
8.1.7.4 64 bit hp-ux 11.11 database?
2. Is there opatch for 8.1.7.4? AFAIK
Always a difficult activity although the opatch utility available with 9i could prove
a real benefit
Most sites I have worked on don't have a policy as such but they only apply patches as
and when necessary.
The other difficulty is that out of say the 180 patches you mention, many may apply to
I do not apply any one-off patch [except for Security patches] unless I have
actually encountered a situation where I need it or the application requires it
[e.g Apps R11 on 8.1.7.2 and 8.1.7.4 requires additional one-off patches].
The one-off patches are not regression-tested.

3. Should one install
