Introduction

This 30-minute Oracle by Example (OBE) describes how to deploy language fix and language update packages using the web client.

In this OBE, you will:

    1. Download the Japanese language fix package (JPN_LF0042) from the Oracle JD Edwards Update Center.
    2. Import the package using the web client.
    3. Deploy the package using the web client and verify the deployment reports.

Background

Starting with Tools Release 9.2.26.0, Update Manager supports the deployment of multi-platform deliverable (PAR) language package files using the Work With Software Updates application.

You can deploy these language packages using the web client:

  • Cumulative (UN) language packages
  • Language fix packages
  • Language update packages

The language fix and language update packages are multi-platform language packages available on the JD Edwards Update Center.

  • Language Fixes (LNG_LF####, example JPN_LF0042)

  • Language Update Packages (LNG{PartNumber}_enhancement, example JPN242_OTC)

This enhancement enables you to deploy language packages without any dependency on the Windows Deployment Server.

Applying language updates using the web client enables remote patch management and automation.
