Hi,

We generally support the minor patches to the third party softwares like Oracle, however suggest you to verify the supported Oracle version from the Platform Support Guide of the PRPC version that you are using (https://community.pega.com/system/files/media/pdf/2018-06/74_PlatformSupportGuide_June2018.pdf).

Regards,

Basavaraj

I'm not aware of any side effect caused by such Patch 22505331 applied to WebLogic at the moment of writing even if I didn't had the chance to test it directly.
As usual when applying patches or product updates it's best to test the changes in lower regions for few days before proceeding with the installation in higher environments.

Oracle provides a 'WebLogic Server zero downtime patching' procedure here, this may be helpful

http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/wls/12c/12_2_1/01-06-001-PatchingWLS/PatchingWLS.html

Zero downtime patching offers the following benefits:

  • Because patching occurs on a new or cloned WebLogic Server image, the existing WebLogic Server instances experience no downtime.
  • Patching doesn't modify the existing installation image that's used for production nodes.
  • You can quickly roll back to the earlier installation image because the patch didn't modify it.
  • If you use shared volumes, then you must patch only one installation image, which you can maintain as the "gold master."
  • Automating the rollout provides efficient and accurate application of a process that may take hours to complete.

The downside to out-of-place patching is that you need additional disk space to maintain the existing and earlier installation images.
