Oracle Security Patches
Schedule for Applying Oracle Security Patches
 

The application of security patches released quarterly by Oracle is critical to the security and stability of the Oracle databases maintained within ITS.  As these patches are released, they will first be applied to test systems, tested by users, then applied to production systems and tested in production.  Keeping in mind that this process needs to be completed in an efficient and effective manner, the following timeline has been developed for implementation. This general timeline will be followed each quarter as security patches are released.
