Default Update Schedule

Oracle defines a default update schedule and this schedule is applied to all your instances.

If you don’t want to use the default schedule, you can select a different schedule manually.

Here’s the default schedule:

• 1st Friday of a quarter (in the months of Feb, May, Aug, and Nov) - Test Preview instance

• 3rd Friday of a quarter (in the months of Feb, May, Aug, and Nov) - Prod instance

• 4th Friday of a quarter (in the months of Feb, May, Aug, and Nov) - remaining Test instances

Update Scheduling Best Practices

• Plan the timing of your Prod and remaining Test instances to ensure your update is like-for-like.

• Allocate a sufficient amount of time to review and validate the new quarterly Update. We do not recommend continually shifting and pushing the Update out to the last available days since these days might be already fully booked by customers.
