Schedule your Monthly Application Deployments

Before you start

Note: It’s recommended to review the Release Process documentation for Oracle Fusion Field Service. This document outlines the types of software updates available and the types of applications included in Monthly Application Deployments. Understanding this information can help you make more informed decisions when managing updates.

You can use the Oracle Cloud Console (Cloud Console) to schedule the Oracle Fusion Field Service quarterly and Monthly Application Deployments based on your convenience and your organization's rules and business processes. There is no extra communication required with Oracle, when you use this option.

Here's what to do

1. Sign in to your Cloud Console account.
2. In the Cloud Console, navigate to the Oracle Field Service – Service Console, select your desired environment, and then click Apply Monthly Application Deployment.
3. After clicking Apply Monthly Application Deployment, the Monthly Application Deployment dialog box appears. It displays the following information:
   • The environment name
   • Version info
   • Planned update date, which indicates when the next Quarterly Update or Monthly Application Deployment is scheduled
   • Most Recent Monthly Application Deployment available for application
   Note: The most recent Monthly Application Deployment is typically the latest released version. However, due to regional deployment schedules, availability may vary depending on your data center location. For example, a newly released update may be accessible in Europe before it appears in North America. While Oracle usually releases Monthly Application Deployments on the first Tuesday of the month, it may take up to 24 hours for the update to appear in all data centers. To ensure you're applying the latest version, wait until it becomes available for your environment.

   
   
   
4. Select one of these options under When to apply Monthly Application Deployment:
   • Within the nearest update window: Select this option to start the Monthly Application Deployment during the update window that's configured for this subscription within the Service Console. Here, the date and time of the update is shown automatically in the update window's time zone. You can change the update window on the Update schedule page of the Service Console.
   • Apply now: Select this option to start the Monthly Application Deployment right away.
5. Click Apply.
   Oracle triggers the Monthly Application Deployment scheduled email. The Monthly Application Deployment completed notification is sent when the update completes. The request to schedule the Monthly Application Deployment is shown on the Environment history page. The record for the completed Monthly Application Deployment is also displayed on the same page.

   Note: You can schedule a Monthly Application Deployment to a maximum of two days before the next planned update date.
