RE: Oracle Applications patches

Patrice,

Welcome to the wonderful and exciting world of Apps patches! Are some more critical than others? Yes, but it largely depends on the extent you're using the system. Generally, I don't bother with minor patches unless a specific bug is stumbled upon. If you roll with the mega patches, you're pretty much covered. Btw, the separate application modules (AR, GL, etc) don't have to be at the same patch level - this makes for even more fun. I'm speaking from Apps 11.0 experience, so YMMV.

I did a quick search in Metalink for Oracle Applications patches... and Metalink returned 500 items!

Are there patches that are more critical than others?

I have a copy of Oracle Applications for NT, I just want to learn to install it, configure, and play with it a little.

(500! Unbelievable).
