 however, delays in applying updates can complicate the support process.

About Patch Releases

Oracle Retail patch releases are periodic releases that can include new defect fixes and

 product enhancements.

Documentation for patch releases includes the following:

n    New and updated guides (for example, operations and user guides) that apply to the patch release level.

n    Defect reports for new fixes and enhancements for the patch release.

See the Oracle Retail Price Management Installation Guide for Release 15.0.3 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 15.0.3 patch release, be sure that:

n    RPM 15.0 has been installed.

Before applying the release over your files:

n    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.

n    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

See the Oracle Retail Price Management Installation Guide, Release 15.0.3 for information about the following:

n    Hardware and software requirements

n    Oracle Retail application software compatibility

Promotion References

Publish the correct best deal promotion detail id as reference to SIM/Xstore POS through RPM flat file during overlapping time frames when the system is set to calculate non-compounding best deal.

Defect Fixes and Documentation

A defect fix is a modification to the base Oracle Retail code (for example, a bug fix, a performance enhancement, or a functional enhancement). Each defect fix that is included in this patch has a corresponding defect report titled <defect-number>.PDF (for example, 1234567.PDF) that is posted to My Oracle Support at the following location: Oracle Retail Defect Document Listings (MOS ID:2021275.1).

In the same folder, the file named DEFECT MODULE XREF RPM 15.0.3.XLS lists every defect number and the modules and scripts that are included in the patch. Review each defect report carefully before implementing the defect fixes. Note that scripts do not preserve data. Make sure that all data is backed up before you run any script.
