Purpose

The purpose of this document is to describe the available and recommended patches, including their release dates, for versions of Oracle Business Intelligence (OBI) 12c and Oracle Analytics Server.

The releases are cumulative releases; therefore due to the frequency and timing of the releases, there may or may not be an interim quarterly bundle patch released. Also, be mindful of the error correction policy.

Both 'in-place' upgrades and new install 'out-of-place' migrations are supported; therefore, you are encouraged to 'uptake' the patch sets regularly.

In addition to the listed specific patches, we would recommend the latest Infrastructure patches: Java, Weblogic, MapViewer, ADF (select JDeveloper in patch advisor), Oracle Platform Security Services (OPSS|OSS), Oracle HTTP Server (if used), etc. See the CPU|PAD document below.

*Note: OBI 12.2.1.4 uses FMw 12.2.1.3 infrastructure and common components and there are no plans to support FMw 12.2.1.4 infrastructure.
*Note: OAS 5.5.0.0 uses FMw 12.2.1.4 infrastructure and common components.

In addition to OBI or OAS specific patches, you also need to review the entire eco-system patch availability, please see:
