About Application Updates

Application updates are available for major releases (quarterly basis), patches (monthly basis), and emergency fixes (as needed).

Except the emergency patches, you can decide when to apply the application updates. You can schedule the update for current and major releases to occur by a deadline. After the deadline, Oracle automatically updates your application. These updates have zero downtime. The auto-update process updates the data model and immediately after the data model update, this process updates the content. You can view the application updates and plan accordingly using the Release updates tile under Service Administration on the Console. You also see a notification on the Data Configuration page when an application update is available. You can then plan to uptake using the Release Updates tile.

The application upgrade adds new pillars, modules, data models (facts and dimension tables), KPIs, cards, and decks. The data pipelines for functional areas that have been activated are preserved during the upgrade. The data pipelines in Saved or Scheduled status are reset to Saved status. To activate these data pipelines, you must set them to Activated status. You can skip an upgrade for one release. However, you must upgrade when the next patch is available. The application upgrade adds new and replaces existing modified content with the latest version.

  2. In Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse, open the Navigator menu, click Console, and then click Release Updates under Service Administration.
  3. On the Release Updates page, select an application update under Update, and then in Schedule, select the date on which you want to apply it.
  4. Click Save.
