[OAUGNetDBA]-Re: Question on merging patches

["James Morrow" <morrow.james@gmail.com>]

This is a debate that's been going on for a while. Unfortunately, not
even all of the support
people are "up to date" on this one.  The "ultimate truth" can be
found in the manuals.
(But hey, who reads those?)


"In general, you can safely merge any Oracle Applications patch with
any other Oracle
Applications patch. Older split driver patches can be merged with newer unified
driver patches. Patches can and should be merged with their listed prerequisite
patches to make patch application easier."

"However, patches that affect the Applications DBA (AD) product must be handled
separately. AD patches can be merged with other AD patches, but AD patches and
non-AD patches cannot be merged because AD patches may change the AutoPatch
utility itself. Merged AD patches must be created separately and
applied before you
apply non-AD patches."
