Understanding PUM Automated Updates

Customers can configure Update Manager to automatically download Application Update Image DPKs, PRPs, apply the PRPs, define and create change packages, as well as apply the source only steps.

See Installing Change Assistant from PeopleSoft Update Image DPK and PeopleSoft Deployment Packages for Update Images Installation (PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.60).
