What Is Patched for the Oracle Analytics Server Platform?

Oracle Analytics Server platform patching applies patches for binary files with extensions such as DLL, JAR, and EXE.

Oracle Analytics Server platform patching doesn't patch the following:

• Configuration Files

  If configuration updates are required as part of a patch, then these are detailed in the accompanying README.txt file, and you must manually apply them. No automated mechanism is available for merging customer configuration and patched configuration files.

• Schema-based Metadata

  Information that's stored in database schemas (including schemas for the Scheduler, usage statistics, event polling,semantic model files, and the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog) isn't patched.

• Application Metadata

  Updates to applications metadata (for example, BAR files and semantic model files). Patching of these files is the responsibility of the application provider.
