How Oracle Communicates the Update Schedule

Oracle follows the following schedule to apply monthly updates.

  • Test environments: Oracle will apply monthly updates during the first daily maintenance that occurs at or after 22:00 UTC on the first Friday of the month.

  • Production environments: Oracle will apply monthly updates during the first daily maintenance that occurs at or after 22:00 UTC on the third Friday of the month.

See Understanding Updates to an Environment and Viewing Readiness Information in Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud for Administrators.

The Enterprise Performance Management page of Oracle Cloud Readiness provides easy access to documents that describe the new features included in the monthly update. Additionally, Oracle notifies all Service Administrators of upcoming updates through an email, which is sent on the last Friday of the month (one week before the Test environment is updated).

Note:

Monthly update notifications will still be sent to the Service Administrators of the environments for which an upgrade has been put on hold.

The Oracle Help Center provides access to updated documentation, and is available in the Help Center on the first Friday of the month.
