If you are running Production out of this home then yes you need to halt 
production.

I have a windows server (32 bit) which I am attempting to upgrade from  
11.1.0.7 to 11.2.0.3.  For this particular application we are running test and 
production instances on the same server (not my choice), so I have to proceed 
with a bit of caution. I installed 11.2.0.3 in a separate ORACLE_HOME.  Now I 
am trying to apply Patch Bundle 18 before I upgrade the test instance.  At this 
point I have not migrated any of the databases to the new version and we are 
still using the 11.1.0.7 listener.

When I run opatch I get:


Following files are active :
d:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin\oracommon11.dll
d:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin\oraclient11.dll
d:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin\orageneric11.dll
d:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin\orapls11.dll
d:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin\oran11.dll
d:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin\oraxml11.dll
d:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin\oci.dll
d:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin\orannzsbb11.dll
d:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin\oraasmclnt11.dll

How can I tell what process is using these DLLs or is opatch confusing the 
11.2.0 versions of these libraries with the 11.1.0 versions?

Tasklist /m will only accept the file name, not the full path name.

Does this mean that I have to shut down the production instances before I can 
apply a patch to the new ORACLE_HOME?

Thanks,
Peter Schauss
