5 Oracle client component and patch requirements for the Oracle InForm application server

Database and client patches required for this release of Oracle InForm.

The Oracle database patches apply to the Oracle InForm study database and the Reporting and Analysis database. The client patches apply to the Oracle client for the core Oracle 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 Oracle InForm installation, the machine that is both the Oracle InForm server and the database server requires all the patches listed under both the Oracle database and the Oracle client.
