Hello,
We are using oracle software standard edition of 11.2.0.3 version for one of our production server.
We have 3 physical classical standby in our env.
We noticed "$ORACLE_HOME/inventory" is missing from OH on primary site. Can you tell me what could be the impact of this missing local inventory directory.
As I know we can correct global inventory but not sure about local one.
In standby site we have no issue with binaries and inventory directory is present. Is it a better idea to copy binaries from Standby to Primary?
Just for your information, we are going apply SPU (CPU) on Primary OH whereas we have already applied SPU on all standby's.
Below is the error we are getting -
