Summary:
What is the difference
between Service Packs and Maintenance Packs?
Full Article:
An interesting discussion
which highlights just how confusing PeopleSoft has managed to make things -
talking from an FSC / HRMS standpoint the following is the current situation:
Maintenance Packs are superceded by Service Packs - this is a terminology change
only. Aside from Service Packs, fixes may be applied individualy but it is
recommended to wait for bundles - bundles are a collection of fixes that can be
applied in one go. Service packs are collections of bundles and are cumulative.
Service packs can be applied using the upgrade assistant but there is no
requirement to do so - yet.
The other element in all this is the PeopleTools Patch - these are apart from
Service Packs which (officially) are for applications only. PeopleTools patches
come out as and when bugs are fixed depending on how bad and how embarassing the
bug is - often PeopleTools patch X.02 is out before you get a chance to apply
X.01 which is nice.
