Applying Downloaded PeopleSoft Release Patchset to PeopleSoft Update Image
The PeopleSoft Update Image will be available on a regular schedule and is the source of all updates to your application, however there may be times when a critical fix is necessary and you can not wait for the next PeopleSoft Image. When this circumstance occurs, it will be necessary to download the PeopleSoft Release Patch from My Oracle Support (MOS).
You will apply the PRP to the current PeopleSoft Update Image so that you can continue to take advantage of the powerful PeopleSoft Update Manager PIA application to generate a custom change package including requisite updates that may have already been posted. The PRP change package includes the metadata required to keep your current PeopleSoft Image up to date. Every PRP will be included in the next scheduled release of the PeopleSoft Image which is cumulative of all updates.
Important:
The pi_home directory requires read and write access to apply PeopleSoft Release Patchsets (PRPs).
WARNING:
Because PRPs are created for specific UIs, the PRP can only be applied to the specific UI for which it was created. Change Assistant will not allow you to apply a PRP directly to your PeopleSoft environment.
To download and apply an individual fix:
-
Discover and download the PRP from MOS.
-
Use Change Assistant to apply the PRP to the PeopleSoft Image database.
-
Create a new custom change package definition using Define Change Package option in the Update Manager Action.
-
Apply the new custom change package the same as any other update from the PeopleSoft Image.
