Hello All,
We recently went through a round of layoffs and being one of the survivors I have inherited a project from one of my former peers.
He was always busy with it, but could never adequately explain why. Well, now I know.
He has been manually managing database patches for seven different environments each with about 15 schemas.
The database is Oracle 11g on a RAC configuration. Each patch to the database has a unique ID. But the development team wants different patches applied at different times to different environments.
I am about 100% sure that this kind of problem is not unheard of and I refuse to believe that it has not already been solved, but I do not know how or with what it has been solved.
Can anyone enlighten me as to how to automate this little slice of hell?
Thanks,
Craig
