Applying Patches and Updates

Keep track of updates, service packs, hot fixes, and patches. Evaluate the need for patches before installing them on production systems. Test patches on development or staging systems, not on production systems, because security patches can disable services or introduce additional vulnerabilities. Set up a process for testing and implementing any updates for Siebel CRM that are released. See the Oracle Critical Patch Updates and Security Alerts Web site at
