From chatting with our field engineers, what we worked out with Oracle
backline engineering is that the order doesn't really matter - because
you're not "officially" patched until you have done *both* the data
dictionary update and the application of the CPUs. So you could really
do them in either order, it just depends on what gets done first.
I would say, if you wanted to minimize downtime, patch just the binaries
on the standby, do a switchover to the standby, run catcpu and whatnot
on the standby, since that's an online operation, bring down the
now-standby/formerly-primary instance and patch the binaries, and then
switch back.

813445.1 says to apply cpu to primary first.
278641.1 says to apply cpu to standby first.
Maybe it doesn't matter. Thoughts?
