Our server/service provider is going to apply an environment patch on Wednesday....along with several other patches and changes to LBI and Process Flow, etc. I asked if the provider was going to take a backup before applying all the changes to our production system.....the answer was no that if something goes wrong with the environment patch that they would use a backup from Tuesday night and the restore would not impact the data in Oracle. In other words, we will not lose the data keyed in the system on Wednesday.

I am functional........so I need technical advice.....Is this correct? The recovery plan to restore the old environment will not impact our Oracle database??

Thanks in advance!

Yes, this is correct. Environment patches will not affect your data in Oracle.

While an environment patch will most likely not affect the application data stored in the Oracle database, answering this post does depend on 1) what changes the patch makes (e.g. some environment patches change the LDAP schema), as well as 2) what is part of the "several other patches and changes to LBI and Process Flow". You might end up with changes to GEN/LOGAN, LDAP, jobs and print files, etc. that need to be rolled back.
