PeopleSoft Security Patches
The process of applying security patches starts with identifying which patches to apply. For PeopleSoft, security patches need to be considered for both the application and the major technical components. The application of security patches, referred to by Oracle as Critical Patch Updates (CPUs), for one component DO NOT apply security patches for the other components.
For example, PeopleTools CPU patches DO NOT include database CPUs – applying one will not automatically apply nor include the other. The same holds for WebLogic and Tuxedo CPU patches.
CPUs for PeopleTools releases are provided for up to 24 months after the next minor release is generally available. The following table will assist in analyzing your PeopleTools CPU levels certification status with other key PeopleSoft technical components:
