Hello All,
I am finally given time to patch. README says I must use at least
OPatch 12.1.0.1.2. The README recommends I use the latest version of 12.1

Fine, I go to the OPatch page (6880880). My choices appear to be 18.0,
13.9, or 12.2.

I am assuming I use the 12.2 version but can anyone confirm if any/all
of them are suitable for 12.1 database?

TIA
Dave

Yes, Opatch 12.2 works for a 12.1 database. Oracles documentation on this
is pretty confusing.
