Can I Move Changes from a Lower Release Pod to a Higher Release Pod?

When migrating extensions or customizations using VB Studio, it's essential that the source and target pods are on the same Oracle HCM release version. Differences in release levels or patching can cause compatibility issues, deployment failures, or unexpected behavior in the target environment.

Oracle recommends verifying that both environments have the same standard patches and one-off fixes applied before initiating any migration activity. This ensures a smooth and stable deployment of changes without the risk of functionality gaps or version mismatches.

To avoid technical issues:

• Always check the release version and apply patches in both pods.

• Perform migrations only when the environments are aligned in configuration and release levels.
