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 uptake the application updates. You can schedule uptake of the latest update of the current release and schedule uptake of a major release by a deadline. After the deadline, Oracle will auto-update your application. These updates have zero downtime. The auto-update process updates the data model and immediately after or within 24 hours of the data model update, this process updates the content. You can note 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 data model upgrade adds new pillars, modules, data models (facts and dimension tables), KPIs, cards, and decks. The plans that have been activated are preserved during the upgrade. The activation plans in Saved or Scheduled status are reset to Saved status. To activate these plans, 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 content upgrade adds new and replaces existing modified content with the latest version.
