Oracle 1Z0-497 Exam - Topic 6 Question 51 Discussion

Actual exam question for Oracle's 1Z0-497 exam

Question #: 51
Topic #: 6

Which statement about Oracle patches is false?

AInterim patches, also known as 'one-off' patches, are created to provide a specific fix between the releases of patch sets.

BSecurity Patch Update (SPU) is the primary means of releasing security fixes for Oracle products. SPUs are cumulative with respect to prior SPUs and generally contain only security fixes.

CPatch Set Update (PSU) is a collection of proactive, stabilizing, cumulative patches for a particular product version (base release or patch set). PSUs are cumulative and include all the security fixes from CPU patches, plus additional fixes.

DPatch Set is the main way in which Oracle provides bug fixes in between releases. Oracle bundles a number of fixes, tests them thoroughly together, and packages, then together for easy download and installation.

ETerminal Patch Set is an unsupported patch set by Oracle Lifetime Support policies.

I think C is misleading, PSUs include more than just security patches.

Wait, is E really unsupported? That’s surprising!

I agree, D sounds off. Patch Sets are for major updates, not just bug fixes.

I vaguely remember something about Terminal Patch Sets being unsupported, but I’m not confident about the specifics.

I think the statement about SPUs being cumulative is correct, but I might be mixing it up with PSUs.

I remember reading about interim patches, but I'm not entirely sure if they are the same as one-off patches.

The definition of a Patch Set sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it's the main way Oracle provides fixes or if that's something else.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I'll need to carefully consider each of the options and think about how they relate to the event state. Hopefully, I can narrow it down.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The key is to identify the application scenario that is not listed in the passage as something Data Risk Control is used for. Based on the information provided, application installation seems to be the odd one out.

Hmm, this seems like a straightforward question about JVM options for investigating performance issues. I'll need to think carefully about which three options would be most useful.
