Periodically, Oracle Utilities releases a service pack of single fixes for its products. A service pack is an update to an existing release that includes solutions to known problems and other product enhancements. A service pack is not a replacement for an installation, but a pack consisting of a collection of changes and additions for it. The service pack may include changes to be applied to the application server, the database, or both. The service pack includes all files necessary for installing the collection of changes, including installation instructions.

Between services packs, Oracle Utilities releases patches to fix individual bugs. For information on installing patches, refer to knowledge base article ID 974985.1 on My Oracle Support.

Service packs and patches can be downloaded from My Oracle Support (https://support.oracle.com/).
