Title: RE: Oracle Applications patches





I presume that is 500 per module and there must be about 30 modules by now, with perhaps an average of 7 or 8 modules on each installation

The normal method is to install a full patchset which is a collection of a number of patches (i.e GL Patchset J etc). 
At sites where I have worked adding a patch is usually the last resort and it has to be a significant problem before the patch is applied. A new patchset install normally involves a lot of testing if there has been any form of customisation of the application.

Adpatch will become your best friend :)

RE: Oracle Applications patches

Patrice,

Welcome to the wonderful and exciting world of Apps patches! Are some more
critical than others? Yes, but it largely depends on the extent you're using
the system. Generally, I don't bother with minor patches unless a specific
bug is stumbled upon. If you roll with the mega patches, you're pretty much
covered. Btw, the separate application modules (AR, GL, etc) don't have to
be at the same patch level - this makes for even more fun. I'm speaking from
Apps 11.0 experience, so YMMV.

RE: Oracle Applications patches

2001-08-28 Thread Shreter, Hilary 

Dear Patrice, 

The megapatches are worth installing, since they fix lots of bugs. 
There is a pulldown list in the patch getter screen that lets you ask for
"all megapatches" or similar.

Also check the release notes to see if there are any interoperability
patches.
(Interops let this version of Apps work with that version of Server, etc.
all down the technology stack UGGG!)

Have you dicided which products to install?  That will tighten up the list!
US Payroll has a lot of patches as the legislatures of the 50 states and
numerous municipalities create scope creep (however it keeps people employed
to apply the resulting patches).
