Purpose

 This document provides a complete, up-to-date description of Oracle Fusion Applications 11g Release 8 (11.1.8) , bundle patches for Supply Chain Management (SCM).

What is a Patch Bundle?

A patch that contains multiple fixes bundled in one patch.  Patch bundles are released approximately every 6-7 weeks.  

 
Remember that there are shortcomings of a one-off patch:

• One-off patches have limited testing due to adhoc/emergency basis of these patches.
• One-off patches are not always technically feasible - The full implications of an individual patch are not always known
• Numerous one-off patches are inherently less predictable
• Environments with numerous one-off patches are non-standard which can cause unique problems that are more difficult to diagnose and fix
• A one-off patch is not guaranteed to contain only the reported fix, since other dependent fixes or previous fixes in the same files are included in the build of the one-off patch.

Customers are encouraged to wait for latest patch bundles for following reasons:

• Patch bundle schedules will enable customers to plan for the testing of the fix in advance.
• Patch bundles undergo end-to-end certification so are more likely to ensure a stable environment.
• Patch bundes are cumulative, so latest patch bundle includes fix from all the previous bundles as well.
