Has anyone seen a direct slowdown from applying patches from 10.2.0.4.0 to
10.2.0.4.11 on solaris 9 sparc 64, Patches 9352164 (10.2.0.4.4) and 12879929
(10.20.4.11)?
Coincidence is suggesting that this one database is affected by the patch.
Getting ready to trace before rolling back: (one database creates a file and
another gets the file and processes it). If anyone has a good start on this
let me know.

Michaei,
For any action (so also for patching) please find out the need/reason first.
Is anything broken? (fix it)
Is there a corporate ruleset (like "apply all security patches within x days")?
Either follow it or question it n a formal base - there should be change/review
prozesses for such policies.
There might be other reasons, just make sure they are defined before executed.
For Patching you can either create a new ORACLE_HOME for every new
patset(s) you want to run (and change , or patch existing OHs.
Both methods have (dis)advantages.
If you have several environments make soure you have any kind of revision
vontrol sytem for your patch-bundles and document which Instances are running
with them - otherwise it can lead to a big mess.
Just my ideas,
Martin
