Applying patch to Local Inventory after upgrade

[satish]

Dear Suresh,

We have completed the database upgrade from 11g to 19c. Below is how my global and local inventory looks like.

[applcrp@sssterpdev1 ~]$ cat /etc/oraInst.loc
inventory_loc=/u02/CRP/oraInventory
inst_group=dba

[applcrp@sssterpdev1 ~]$ cd /u02/CRP/oraInventory/ContentsXML/
[applcrp@sssterpdev1 ContentsXML]$ cat inventory.xml
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>


<INVENTORY>
<VERSION_INFO>
   <SAVED_WITH>12.2.0.7.0</SAVED_WITH>
   <MINIMUM_VER>2.1.0.6.0</MINIMUM_VER>
</VERSION_INFO>
<HOME_LIST>
<HOME NAME="OraDB19Home1" LOC="/u02/CRP/db/19chome" TYPE="O" IDX="1"/>
</HOME_LIST>
<COMPOSITEHOME_LIST>
</COMPOSITEHOME_LIST>
</INVENTORY>
[applcrp@sssterpdev1 ContentsXML]$



[applcrp@sssterpdev1 ContentsXML]$ cd /u02/CRP/db/19chome/inventory/
[applcrp@sssterpdev1 inventory]$ ls

[applcrp@sssterpdev1 ContentsXML]$
[applcrp@sssterpdev1 ContentsXML]$ cd /u02/CRP/db/19chome
[applcrp@sssterpdev1 19chome]$ cat oraInst.loc
inventory_loc=/u02/CRP/oraInventory
inst_group=dba
[applcrp@sssterpdev1 19chome]$


What is the process to apply patch to local inventory instead of global inventory. Any specific command?

Thanks,
Satish

There is no such thing (if I understand you correctly..) You don't patch inventories, you patch rdbms software and/or database.. Inventories are just there for recording the information.
