Which statement is true when you perform out-of-place patching with Oracle Enterprise Manager?
Using this mechanism [out-of-place patching] means that the only downtime will take place when the Databases from the previous Home are switched to run from the new Home. If there is any issue with the Database patch, you can switch back to the previous unpatched Home since it is still available. So, patch rollback is a lot faster.
Note: A new mechanism for patching has been provided in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c, known as Out of Place Patching. This is now the recommended method and creates a new Oracle Home, which is then patched while the previous Home is still operational. All this is done using an out-of-box Deployment Procedure in Enterprise Manager.
