1. Service Scope and Objectives

The purpose of the Monthly Patch Assessment for Oracle Enterprise Manager is to present:

Lifetime Support for all OEM releases

The latest available Plug-ins, Agents and OMSs released

The latest PSUs and recommended Bundle Patches

Patches created and available for download during last month

This assessment utilizes a facility within Oracle called Automated Release Update (ARU) to look for the new

patches released and to provide proactive reports or recommended upgrade patches based on the study of

various general Oracle Enterprise Manager components.

From this report, customer can have an updated list of the Patches, PSUs, Bundles and OEM components

released during the month of July 2021, and in this way, keep up to date the Oracle Enterprise Manager

system.

As with all upgrades and updates, it is customer’s responsibility to maintain environments where any

patches can be thoroughly tested before changes are promoted to production.

2. Enterprise Manager 13c Patching Strategy

Oracle recommends you to keep your Enterprise Manager installation up to date with latest released

patches. To simplify the patching tasks Oracle has designed the following strategies:

PSUs

Patch Set Updates (PSUs) are proactive cumulative patches containing recommended bug fixes that

are released on a regular and predictable schedule. PSUs are on quarterly schedule, specifically the

Tuesday closest to the 17th of January, April, July, and October.

These patches are designed to be applied on the OMS and OMA Framework.

Bundle Patches

Beginning with the release of Enterprise Manager Base Platform 12.1.0.3, Oracle designed a new

patch release process to patch Cloud Control Management Agents and Cloud Control Plug-ins.

As Agent and Plug-in patches are created, they will be added to their respective bundle, tested and

released on a monthly basis as part of a cumulative bundle patch for each component. This new

process should reduce or eliminate existing problems with patch conflicts.

Release Updates

More commonly known as "RU”, they are the new way to deliver the latest EM features and bug

fixes more quickly, without waiting for a major release to deliver them. In past versions the patching

strategy was to apply "Bundle Patches (BPs)" and “PSUs”, however, since 13.4 version the Release

Updates contain all the Oracle Management Server (OMS) patches, OMS-side Plug-In

patches, Agent patches and Agent-Side Plug-In patches

One-off Patches

One-off patches are bug fixes provided as required for a single bug fix or a collection of bug fixes.

They may also be created for customer specific security bug fixes. A one off patch could also be a

diagnostic patch that is created to help diagnose or verify a fix or collection of bug fixes. The

recommendation is to apply the bundle patch (described below) and not apply one off patches

unless recommended by Oracle Support.

To understand where theses patches have to be applied, the following image resumes the Oracle

Enterprise Manager 13c architecture:

CONFIDENTIAL: Advanced Customer Services

Page 6 of 23

Both, OMS (Oracle Management Service) and OMAs (Oracle Management Agents) are compounded

by its own Framework (core installation) and different plug-ins which can be added or removed as

desired (except some default plug-ins). Each module must be patched separately as describe the

following table:

OEM 13.3 and before

Component Framework Plugins

Oracle Management Service Quarterly apply

latest PSU released

Monthly apply latest

Bundle Patch released

Oracle Management Agent Quarterly apply

Monthly apply latest

OEM 13.4 and later

Oracle Management Agent Monthly apply latest RU released

Note: Other OEM Components such as the Database Repository or Weblogic Server can be patched

following the Oracle recommendations. The explanation of these patching strategies is out of the

scope of this document. To obtain more information contact to your Oracle ACS TAM requesting

information about additional services focused on those modules.

3. Oracle Enterprise Manager Lifetime Support

Oracle’s Lifetime Support Policy puts you in control of your upgrade strategy. Our flexible support policy

stages make it easier for you to plan and budget for Oracle’s exclusive product upgrades. You’ll enjoy

continued peace of mind, knowing that we’ll always be there to support your business. When it’s time to

upgrade, you’ll have rights to major product releases, so you can benefit from Oracle’s technology

leadership and keep pace with the world of business

Premier Support provides a standard five year support policy for Oracle Technology products. You can

extend support for an additional three years with Extended Support for specific releases or receive

indefinite technical support with Sustaining Support.

Following are the meanings of the stages of support for an Oracle product:

Premier Support (PS): Provides maintenance and support of Enterprise Manager, Oracle Database,

Oracle Fusion Middleware, and Oracle Applications for five years from their general availability date.

Extended Support (ES): Provides an extra three years of support for specific Oracle releases for an

additional fee. Customer benefit from the same quality of service received with Premier Support.

Sustaining Support (SS): With Sustaining Support, customers receive technical support including

access to online support tools, knowledge bases, pre-existing fixes and assistance from technical

support experts indefinitely. However, patches will not be created after extended support has elapsed.

General Availability (GA): This is the date when the product was released.

8. Latest Available Releases for Enterprise Manager Plug-ins

In Enterprise Manager 13c, the idea of managing targets is accomplished by downloading plug-in code and

storing it in the software library and then deploying the plug-in code to the OMS and the Agent. Without

deploying the plug-in code to the OMS and Agent, Enterprise Manager Cloud Control will not be able to

discover, monitor or manage the targets that are associated to the plug-in. This new target architecture

allows Oracle to easily update the management features when a new version of the target is released as well

as deliver timely bug fixes.

The following table provides the list of latest available Plug-ins for Enterprise Manager 13c ordered by name:

9. Patch Set Updated (PSU) / Release Update (RU)

Patch Set Updates (PSUs) are proactive cumulative patches containing recommended bug fixes that

are released on a regular and predictable schedule. PSUs are on quarterly schedule, specifically the

Tuesday closest to the 17th of January, April, July, and October.

However, beginning on OEM 13.4, the new strategy is to apply the Release Updates patches, which

are monthly delivered and introduce new EM features and bug fixes. This provides a quick solution

to benefit of new advantages without waiting for a major release.

Conflict detection between new and previously applied interim patches

Suggested strategies for patch conflict resolution

Reports on installed products and interim patches applied

The latest OPatch version available is Patch 28186730:

Additionally, in OEM 13c version is also necessary the OMSPatcher installer in order to apply the

latest bundle patches. Most recently OMSPatch version is:
