Dbvisit Standby version 6 has been developed so that Dbvisit Standby is compatible with all versions of Oracle from Oracle 8i (8.1.7.4 recommended).
When Oracle is upgraded or patched to a new version, Dbvisit Standby will not have to be upgraded.
When patching or upgrading Oracle Databases - You must follow the Oracle Documentation and Patch note instructions when installing patches or upgrading.
This guide is just a high level guide on some of the processes. With later versions of Oracle (11g and later) the process would slightly be different as you would normally install for example a new patch set into a new separate Oracle Home.
IMPORTANT: As always please test upgrades and patching on a test system first before doing it on production. This will help you get familiar with the process as well as get to know detail timing.
