Hi Martin
"NEVER forget to execute "catbundle.sql psu apply". It's always mandatory to 
call it - even in the case when you created the instance AFTER applying the PSU 
to the ORACLE_HOME"

I'm not sure if this is still necessary...

According to My Oracle Support Doc ID 461082.1, it isn't necessary to run 
catbundle.sql for most recent releases if the DB is created after the PSU is 
applied. Looking at the PSU 7 README, section "3.4 Patch Post-Installation 
Instructions for Databases Created or Upgraded after Installation of PSU 
11.2.0.3.7 in the Oracle Home":

"There are no actions required for databases that have been upgraded or created 
after installation of PSU 11.2.0.3.7."

I've been following this advice and have checked that DBA_REGISTRY shows the 
PSU is applied when I create a new DB, and it is the case.

Thanks

Austin
