Stop access to the source database. Allow Extract to finish capturing the transaction data that remains in the transaction log and stop Extract. Start applying the patch on the source. Wait until the data pump (if used) and Replicat are finished processing the data in their respective trails. Stop the data pump and Replicat. Apply the patch on the target. If the patches changed table definitions, run DEFGEN for the source tables to generate updated source definitions, and then replace the old definitions with the new ones in the existing source definitions file on the target system. Start the Oracle GoldenGate processes whenever you are ready to begin capturing user activity again.
