A Managing Oracle Inventory

Learn how to manage Oracle Inventory on the production and standby sites for an Oracle Fusion Middleware Disaster Recovery topology.

This appendix includes the following sections:

• Updating Oracle Inventory
  Update Oracle Inventory on both the production site host and the standby site peer host.
• Updating the Windows Registry
  Export Windows Registry keys on the production site host and import them on the standby site peer host.

A.1 Updating Oracle Inventory

Update Oracle Inventory on both the production site host and the standby site peer host.

When you update Oracle Inventory (for example, by installing new Oracle software, or by applying an Oracle patch set or patch to existing Oracle software) on a production site host, ensure that the same software updates are made on the standby site peer host. To accomplish this task, update Oracle inventory on the standby site peer host by executing the following script:

ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/attachHome.sh

A.2 Updating the Windows Registry

Export Windows Registry keys on the production site host and import them on the standby site peer host.

When you update Oracle inventory (for example, by installing new Oracle software or by applying an Oracle patch set or a patch to existing Oracle software) on a production site Windows host, you must ensure that the same software updates are made on the standby site peer host by exporting the following Windows Registry key on the production site host and importing it on the standby site peer host:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\oracle

In addition, when you modify system components, such as Oracle Web Cache, export the following Windows Registry key on the production site host and import it on the standby site peer host:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services

To import a key that you have previously exported, use the following command:

regedit /I FileName

as illustrated in the following example:

regedit /I C:\oracleregisitry.reg

Alternatively, you can use the Registry Editor to import the key. See Registry Editor Help.
