Family Pack Updates vs. Release Update Packs

New readers might have missed previous discussions about naming standards. To recap:  in
Release 11i, we have these things called Rollup Patches, which
inexplicably became known as “RUPs.”  Release 11i Rollup Patches
contain patches for a single product family (e.g. ATG Family Pack H
Rollup 4).

In Release 12, we’re now shipping these things called
Release Update Packs.  Given the way that neologisms form, it’s
inevitable that these will be called “RUPs” too.  The difference is
that the R12 Release Update Packs combine patches created across
several E-Business Suite product families. 

The
patch that we’re announcing today only includes updates for the
Applications Technology family of products, that is, the technology
stack for the E-Business Suite Release 12.  This patch does not include
updates to the functional applications like Financials or HRMS.  For
information about the broader Apps 12.0.4 Release Update Pack, see:
This
ATG rollup patch includes all fixes released on top of ATG Family Pack
A, including those released in the following updates:
Since
this is the fourth update to the Release 12 technology stack, its
official (admittedly cryptic) name is: R12.ATG_PF.A.DELTA.4.
