Updates to Your Instance
Functional updates to Oracle Integration 3 occur every two months and involve zero downtime. Oracle completes all update work on your behalf, with no work required by you.
During an update existing flows continue to run. If you have flows that run longer than five minutes, you may see an increase in runtime of up to five additional minutes.
Shapes Determine When Updates Occur
Every instance has either a Development or Production shape, which you choose when you create the instance. Both instances have the same service level agreements (SLAs); the only difference is the timing of functional updates. Production instances are updated two weeks after Development instances.
Notifications
Oracle provides a notification about two weeks before installing a functional update on your instance. You receive the notification only if an administrator has enabled announcements. Everyone can see the notification in the user interface, and one or more people might also receive an email notification. See Enable Announcements for Oracle Integration.
Other Updates
Oracle delivers security updates in addition to functional updates. These updates don't impact end users. Oracle does not send notifications for these updates.
