Basically, you do this (standard upgrade methodology):
- Shutdown everything in the OH you want to upgrade.
- Install the 10.2.0.4 patchset.
- Startup upgrade
- run catupgrd.sql
- shutdown immediate/startup
- Run utlrp.sql
- Done.
The biggest problem I had was the undo setting. I had the undo retention set too high, and I ran out of undo tablespace, and everything froze waiting for my undo retention time to elapse.

If you've run 10.2.0.1 for any appreciable length of time, then likely
the time columns in the scheduler package are stuffed up when you
upgrade to 10.2.0.3/4<http://10.2.0.3/4>.
There is a note on Metalink about this and which script you need to run
to fix the problem. It is not included in the 10.2.0.4 upgrade, so if
the scheduler jobs stop working you know what the problem is anyway.
The 10.2.0.3/4<http://10.2.0.3/4> upgrade involves a step that upgrades the dictionary as
well, so no turning back the clock once done: take a backup before, just
in case.
Yes, it is a single step upgrade.
