Test and Production Environment Schedule

Updates are deployed in a staggered manner to allow testing before production:

• Test environments (pods): updated on the first Friday of the release month

• Production environments: updated 2 weeks later, on the third Friday of the release month Quarterly updates include:

• Fixes – technical or legislative corrections, shipped enabled

• Minor changes – small enhancements or validations, shipped enabled

• New functionality – features that materially impact users, shipped disabled and require opt- in; some may have an opt-in expiration date

Planning Considerations

• Allocate sufficient time to review & validate updates in test environments before production deployment

• Avoid delaying updates to the last available days, as slots may be fully booked

• For retail or high-season periods, the update may require coordination with Oracle Support to adjust timing

By following this schedule, organizations can ensure smooth adoption of new features, maintain syst em stability, and comply with Oracle’s mandatory update policy. Quarterly updates are how Oracle Fusion Applications deliver new features and functionality to your environments. They also include fixes for issues that have occurred since the last update. Quarterly updates are a type of scheduled maintenance and categorized, when required, as planned downtime

(vs unplanned downtime) of a customer environment. Started working with start up company My-CEO as System Administrator & Application Specialist April 21 2025 – Current
