Oh Really
Software Fixes Oracle Automatically
This new company has one thing right: patch management is a freakin' nightmare with large ERP and database software. However, from the application perspective, automated patch management assumes that nothing is customized in the objects being patched, which means that this automation can be used by...no one. Patch management is more of a business analysis exercise than a systems administration task, and I don't see where this product addresses that...
Sorry, folks...

Isnt this patch management for fixing security gaps and GUI upgrades? I mean, how many DBAs we know fix the DBMS related issues? It hardly does anything about the application running on top of the Database because it has nothing to do with it. This is at the DBMS level.
Wish someone could do the same for SQL Server, Half the time is spent on Database related errors where as the actual ERP related code is finished before time.
Does this make sense or am I completely off the mark ??

It's not clear to me if they're talking only about DBMS patches - I think the implication is that it will manage application patches as well. I think my point was that most enterprise applications are fairly heavily customized, so application patch management is a losing proposition.
Congratulations on leaving the first comment on the blog. No prize will be awarded, though...:-D
