Cumulative Patch for Oracle Discoverer 10.1.2.2

This will be implemented for iAS 10.1.2.2 (Discoverer 10.1.2.54.25) version going forward. This is only for Plus/Viewer. (D40 patches will also be using this cumulative model)
Discoverer Admin/Desktop 10.1.2.54.25 (part of iDS 10.1.2.2) will continue to use the current patching model. Previous versions, iAS 10.1.2.0.2 / 10.1.2.1 (Discoverer 10.1.2.48.18
or 10.1.2.50.05) will continue to use the current patching model.


First Cumulative Patch (for example, let's call it PATCH1) contains 70 bug fixes over 10.1.2.2. Or in other words, PATCH1 = 10.1.2.2 + 70 bug fixes If second Cumulative Patch (PATCH2) request MLR receives 30 bugs, PATCH2 will end up containing 70 + 30 = 100 bug fixes over 10.1.2.2 or, in other words, PATCH2 = 10.1.2.2 + PATCH1 + 30 bug fixes and so on for PATCH3 ... PATCH3 = 10.1.2.2 + PATCH2 + x bug fixes
