NOTE: As part of the patching process you will need to shutdown any databases and
listeners running out of the Oracle home. If there are databases running out of other
Oracle homes which are not being patched and which might be affected by shutting down
their listener, you can stop and start any effected listeners under another code tree so that
the other databases remain available during the patching.
