What Happens When I Get a Quarterly Update?

Quarterly updates are applied to your non-production and production environments on a predefined, predictable schedule. They're required and they can't be rescheduled. They're first applied to test cadence environments and then to production cadence environments two weeks later.

The two-week period between an update to your test and production cadence environments gives you time to confirm that your critical business flows are supported as expected after the update. Any unexpected issues that are identified need to be reported and resolved with Oracle Support before the scheduled date for the update to your production environment.
