RE: Oracle Applications patches

Dear Patrice,

The megapatches are worth installing, since they fix lots of bugs. There is a pulldown list in the patch getter screen that lets you ask for "all megapatches" or similar.

Also check the release notes to see if there are any interoperability patches.
(Interops let this version of Apps work with that version of Server, etc.
all down the technology stack UGGG!)

Have you dicided which products to install? That will tighten up the list! US Payroll has a lot of patches as the legislatures of the 50 states and numerous municipalities create scope creep (however it keeps people employed to apply the resulting patches).

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).
