RE: 12c grid control

Quite honestly I can only go on what one of the other product managers has told me here, since my repository didn't need patching. Her comment was:

If you have the Management Repository configured in Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.7) or 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.1), then make sure you apply the following patches on the database. If you do not apply these patches, you will run into  upgrade failures.

For Oracle Database 11 Release 1 (11.1.0.7)

	On Unix platforms, apply patches 8405205 and 6079038
	On Microsoft Windows (32 bit) platforms, apply patch 9082702
	On Microsoft Windows (64 bit) platforms, apply patch 9082709

For Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.1)
	On Linux platforms, apply patch 8405205 and  9352237(For this release, patch 8405205 is available only for Linux, and not for other Unix platforms) 
	On Microsoft Windows (32 bit) platforms, apply patch 9595784 and  9352237
	On Microsoft Windows (64 bit) platforms, apply patch 9595786 and  9352237

As for the 6079038 patch, that affect versions >= 10.2 but BELOW 11.2 from what I can see.

I finished the upgrade from 12.1.0.2 to 12.1.0.3 last night. I ran into a number of issues that I will address in a blog post and an SR. Pete, you mentioned the repository patches for the database which I looked up before I started the upgrade and neither seemed to apply to my database. I'm on 11.1.0.7.15 running on Oracle Linux 5.8 64-bit.

The first patch in the documentations is 8405205. However, when I look up that patch in MOS there is one for Linux 32 bit but not for Linux 64 bit for my database version.

The second patch is 6079038. This one is really confusing since a search in MOS shows that the last release for this patch was 2 years ago for 10.2.0.4.4.

I struggled through the upgrade but I believe I have a clean system now. Are these patches only to prevent issues with the upgrade or will I run into issues in the future without them?
