Oracle client component and patch requirements for the InForm application server

The Oracle database patches apply to the InForm study database and the Reporting and Analysis database. The client patches apply to the Oracle client for the core InForm application.

Note: The patches for the Oracle database server and the Oracle client are set so that both the database and the client use the same version of TSTZ (timestamp/timezone) files. The version of these files should always match. Take this into consideration when applying future patches to the database or client.

If a future patch for either the database or client changes the version of these files, you must review the patches for both the client and database.

Oracle Windows patches

When a physical machine is more than one type of server, you need all the patches that are required for each type of server. For example, in a single-tier InForm installation, the machine that is both the InForm server and the database server requires all the patches listed under both the Oracle database and the Oracle client.
