About Bundled Hot Fix Releases
Oracle Retail bundled hot fix releases are the most frequent releases to update Oracle Retail applications. These releases typically contain only defect fixes; they may also include enhancements that address application performance or other issues. Bundled hot fix releases are of smaller scope than less-frequent patch releases, and they are intended to be easier and faster for the customer to install than major patch updates.
Each bundled hot fix release contains a unique set of defect fixes or enhancements. Note that bundled hot fix releases are not cumulative; that is, defect fixes from a previous bundled hot fix release are not also included in a later bundled hot fix release.
Bundled hot fix releases must be applied in sequential order. Before you can apply a new bundled hot fix release, you must first apply all previous bundled hot fix releases since the last patch release. The Release Notes for each Oracle Retail release identify whether a release is a bundled hot fix release or a patch release.
Periodic patch releases include all defect fixes that have been released through bundled hot fix releases since the last patch release. Patch releases also include new defect fixes and enhancements that have not previously been included in any bundled hot fix release.
Applying the Bundled Hot Fix Release
Before applying the fixes included in the bundled hot fix release, be sure that:
n RIB 15.0 has been installed.
Before applying the new files over your code:
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.
Running Scripts
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.
