Use this example to understand steps required to update Oracle Database 12c release 1 (12.1) releases on Oracle Database Appliance.
You use Oracle Appliance Manager (OAKCLI) to update Oracle Database installations. In this scenario, you have upgraded two databases to Oracle Database 12c release 1 12.1.0.2.160119 when you ran the Oracle Database Appliance 12.1.2.6 patch set update, but you have not upgraded two other Oracle Database instances that are patched at Oracle Database 12c release 1 (12.1.0.2.4). This procedure describes how to upgrade databases manually after the patch set update.
The Oracle Database Appliance patch set update for Oracle Database uses a new numbering sequence. The Oracle Database update for Oracle Database Appliance patch set 12.1.2.6 is 12.1.0.2.160119.
