We are installing ASM in its own oracle home.

 

The oracle home for the databases that will also be on the server will
be installed in its own oracle home  (recommended by oracle to separate
patch/upgrade areas.

 

Does anyone have a link to a white paper or experience with exactly what
options are required to be installed in the ASM oracle home directory?
We are trying to minimize the software footprint and minimize patch time
in the ASM oracle home by not installing options that are not necessary
for ASM to operate.

 

Thanks

Subject: IMPDB & UTF8

 

While researching a problem we have I came across Note: 144808.1  
it says in part....

For the moment, do NOT use Expdp/Impdp when going to UTF8 or a other
multibyte 




      characterset on ALL 10g versions including 10.2.0.3 and 11.1.0.6. 

      It will provoke data corruption!

      This is caused by the impdp Bug 5874989.
<https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=Bug&id=5874989.> 




      The "old" exp/imp work fine. This problem is fixed in the upcoming


      10.2.0.4 and 11.1.0.7 patchsets.

      For 10.2.0.2 and 10.2.0.3 you can ask a backport for Bug 5874989
<https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=Bug&id=5874989> 




      if you need to use expdp/impdp.



So now I am back to using exp/imp again. :-(
