In one of my very first blog posts on Oracle Database In-Memory, I made reference to the fact that we would be releasing regular bundle patches for Database In-Memory just as we have done for Exadata in the past. What I didn't explain was where and when you could get these bundle patches, so I thought I would share that with you now.
The bundle patches are available periodically through My Oracle Support. The latest bundle patch to be released was bundle patch 4 or 12.1.0.2.4 (DATABASE PATCH FOR ENGINEERED SYSTEMS AND DB IN-MEMORY 12.1.0.2.4). More information on the latest bundle patch can be found in Doc ID. 20141343.8.
The bundle patches are cumulative, which means bundle patch 4 includes all fixes from bundle patch 1 to 3 in addition to new content. Don't let the name of the bundle patch fool you. You can apply this bundle patch on non-engineered systems running Database In-Memory.
Going forward, we will keep you posted when anew bundle patch is released, so you will always know what is the latest bundle patch. We recommend that you always run with the latest bundle patch.
