System Releases

Oracle ERP Quarterly Releases

Oracle ERP releases quarterly updates to enhance functionality, improve user experience, and ensure compliance with the latest standards. These mandated updates may include new features, performance improvements, security enhancements, and bug fixes. Stay informed on upcoming release notes and scheduled deployment dates to take full advantage of the latest advancements in Oracle ERP. Teams will review and assess each update’s impacts to the Aggie Enterprise Finance, Supply Chain and Project Portfolio Management modules.

For every Quarterly Release: 

• Quarterly releases are scheduled on the third Friday of the following months: March, June, September, and December. 
  • 2025 dates: March 21, June 20, September 19, and December 19
• On the Friday of the Production Quarterly Release, we will pause integrations to Oracle (Aggie Enterprise) at 5 p.m.   Boundary Systems can still send interfaces, files or webservice calls, but will be in queue until services are restored.  Note that file naming convention will not change, as that is not in scope of any release.
• On the Sunday of the Production Quarterly Release, we will re-enable integrations to Oracle (Aggie Enterprise) at noon.  
• Communications will be sent in advance of the quarterly release, any resulting system downtime, and again once the system is back online.
