See the Oracle Retail Price Management Installation Guide for Release 15.0.1 for instructions about how to apply the defect fixes and enhancements that you have not already installed.

Applying a Patch Release

Before applying the RPM 15.0.1 patch release, be sure that:

RPM 15.0 has been installed.

Before applying the release over your files:

Note whether any modules have been customized. If so, the customizations must be reapplied to the new version of the module, or the fix may need to be applied to the custom version of the code.
Copy the original files to a different directory before you copy over them, in case you need to refer to them at a later date.

Back up data before running any script, because the scripts provided do not preserve data. See defect reports for details.

Check with your database administrator to determine whether your database should be analyzed after a script is run. In many cases, analysis of the database is necessary to take advantage of new or modified indexes intended to improve performance of the application.

Hardware and Software Requirements
