Patch Oracle Analytics Server on Oracle Cloud

Patching involves copying a small collection of files over an existing installation, that is, updating to a newer, minor update of the same product. The patching process on Oracle Cloud is similar to patching any on-premises installation or deployment. However, the way you obtain the patch is slightly different if you don't have an on-premises license.

Obtain a Patch

The way you obtain patches for your Oracle Analytics Server deployment on Oracle Cloud depends how you subscribe to Oracle Cloud Marketplace.

Oracle Analytics Server - BYOL (Bring Your Own License): Obtain patches through the Patches and Updates tab in My Oracle Support. This is the same method as any on-premises installation or deployment. See Critical Patch Update (CPU) Advisor For Oracle Analytics Server and Oracle Business Intelligence (Doc Id 2832967.2).
Oracle Analytics Server - UCM (Universal Credits): If you don't have any on-premises licenses or access to My Oracle Support, file a Service Request with Oracle Support to obtain patches. After downloading a patch, you apply the patch in exactly the same way as on-premises patching. See How To Obtain Patches For Oracle Analytics Server on OCI MarketPlace (Doc Id 2858616.1).
