Hi, what is the standard method for on-premise IFS customers to ensure their Oracle databases and Java components like WebLogic are patched?

  • Are these patches included in Update deliveries, or are they installed separately?
  • Who normally is responsible for ensuring Java and Oracle for the IFS environment are patched? IFS (via Deliveries), or the IFS Customer?
  • If it’s the IFS customer, can the customer DBA just install the latest Oracle and Java patches on-demand, or do they need to be verified to be compatible with IFS first? i.e. will installing the latest patches break the IFS environment?

OK so I have managed to obtain the information from IFS on how patching is managed.

  • Oracle database - responsibility is with the customer to keep it patched. The Customer can request the patches from IFS who will supply, and then its the customers responsibility to install/outsource installation/pay IFS consulting for installation of the patches.
  • WebLogic Middleware - IFS responsibility to ensure patches are supplied to customers. Customers as a Delivery. Customer then either installs the delivery themselves or can choose to outsource delivery installation.
