3. 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 March 2016, 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.

4. Enterprise Manager 12c 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. 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 12c architecture:
CONFIDENTIAL: Advanced Customer Support
Page 6 of 27
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:
Component Framework Plugins
Oracle Management Service Quarterly apply latest PSU released
Monthly apply latest Bundle Patch released
Oracle Management Agent Quarterly apply latest PSU released
Monthly apply latest Bundle Patch 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.

5. 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 Enteprise 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, knowledgebases, 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 12c, 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 12c Cloud Control:
Plugin Latest Version Release Date

9. Patch Set Updated (PSU)
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.
Important Note about patch numbering changes
As of November 2015 the version numbering for new Bundle Patches, Patch Set Updates and Security Patch Updates for Oracle Database, Enterprise Manager and Middleware products will start to change format. The new format replaces the numeric 5th digit of the bundle version with a release date in the form "YYMMDD" where:
o YY is the last 2 digits of the year
o MM is the numeric month (2 digits)
o DD is the numeric day of the month (2 digits)
Note that the "release date" is the release date of the main bundle / PSU / SPU. In some rare cases, for example where the same bundle is released on multiple platforms, the patch for a specific platform may not be available until some days after the "release date".
o "OEM PSU 12.1.0.4.6" will instead be called "OEM PSU 12.1.0.4.160119"
See Note:2061926.1 “Oracle Database, Enterprise Manager and Middleware - Change to Patch Numbering from Nov 2015 onwards” for more details.
Recommended Patches are provided for the following targets:

15. Opatch Utility Considerations
Important Note
Before apply any patch on your Enterprise Manager System, ensure you are using the correct Opatch
version to avoid execution problems
OPatch is an Oracle supplied utility that allows you to apply patches or rollback interim patches that are not part of a patch set to an Oracle product. This includes any Critical Patch Updates. The program has sub-commands that may take arguments. OPatch is a standard utility that is available on all Oracle Enterprise Manager releases. The utility supports the following features:
Application of interim patches
Rollback of interim patches
Conflict detection between new and previously applied interim patches
Suggested strategies for patch conflict resolution
Reports on installed products and interim patches applied
According OPATCH PLACEHOLDER Patch 6880880, the latest OPatch version available is:
11.1.0.12.9 for Enterprise Manager 12c.
For more information regarding the OPatch Utility, please review My Oracle Support: -Note 224346.1 Opatch - Where Can I Find the Latest Version of Opatch? -Note 274526.1 How to download and install opatch (generic platform).
