Explanation

If a patch makes different changes to the same section of code that another OPatch modifies, then these two patches conflict, and only one of them can be installed (unless a merge or overlay patch is available). If a particular patch to be applied contains all of the fixes included in an already installed patch, plus additional fixes, then the patch with more fixes is a superset patch, and there is no conflict. Combination Conflict If a patch to be installed conflicts with more than one already installed patch, this is considered a combination conflict. In this case, OPatch will remove all conflicting patches then apply only the Critical Patch Update Critical Patch Updates (CPUs) are the primary means of releasing security fixes for Oracle products. CPUs are cumulative with respect to prior CPUs and generally contain only security A merge patch is one where multiple conflicting patches are combined into one integrated patch. When an interim patch conflicts with a PSU, patch conflict resolution is achieved by providing a new patch that coexists with (and requires) the PSU patch. The new patch overlays the PSU, and the PSU is a pre-requisite for the overlay patch.
