[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I need small information on JAVA Patch level.

Presently we are on Patch level 15 in portal system and latest patch available in market place is 19.

Please guide me which patch level can i go and apply.

The best practice is to go with one step lesser than the highest patch available, because to get the fiexes to the problems with the highest patch will take some time and the 18 patch should have got the fixes by the time highest patch is released. and also you might get the possible issue with the patch 18 from the people who already adopted it or from the market place (you can get the report on impacts ) before proceeding to apply. The other point you need to consider is the patch 19 functionality and its immediate applicability as per your scenario.

Thank you,
