6.3 Rollups
• Released every 4 months
• Able to patch against specific Rollups
• Include more robust enhancements:
– Incremental DB additions
– Incremental XML additions
– Property / Parameter controlled enhanced functionality
• Improved upgrade experience
– Due to more focus on incremental controls – if current
– Working on reducing downtime for Rollups – if current
Copyright © 2014 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
6.3 Rollups
• While we will have the ability to patch back:
– Backports of bugs will still be on an exception basis
– No backports of enhancements
• Same advice from Development: Stay Current!
– No official line on Rollup age, but similar to current
approach we will not be able to patch back too many
Rollups – they age!
– Likely no longer than 1 year (match other Oracle products)
• This will likely be the same approach we will follow
with 6.4 Rollups and beyond.
