Today I upgraded from on-premise 9.4.0.5 using the 9.7 Full installer (actually 9.7.0.3). I ran the application installers until it said all services were stopped, then upgraded the database and then finished application servers (DS, Console). After they were all at 9.7.0.3 ran the 9.7.0.8 patch on all and so far all is well and all are at 9.7.0.8.
