CUMULATIVE FIX PACKS

Starting with AEM 6.2 Service Pack 1, Adobe has introduced a single delivery model for releasing fixes. Instead of releasing hot fixes for single issues, Adobe will release a Cumulative Fix Pack (CFP) every month (subject to passing quality checks), which is an aggregator content package for multiple fixes. CFPs primarily include bug fixes but might also include Feature Packs. They have the following advantages over single hotfix releases:

  • Cumulative in nature (for example, CFP3 contains fixes for CFP2 and CFP1).
  • Increased quality assurance
  • Simplified installation (User installs a CFP as a single package that has no dependencies, except for the latest service pack)

For more information on CFP and other releases, see Maintenance Release Vehicle.

The Adobe Experience Manager 6.2 Cumulative Fix Pack is available on the Adobe Package Share and the release notes at https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/release-notes--aem-6-2-cumulative-fix-pack.html.

CORE HOTFIXES ACROSS AEM PRODUCTS (AEM PLATFORM)

Opomba:

AEM hotfixes do not benefit from the same level of quality assurance as service packs or product releases, therefore must be always validated first on a staging environment as part of your quality deployment processes.

 

Oak

Fixes for the Oak repository used within AEM are provided via Cumulative Oak Fix Packs.

For the latest information, see the Oak Cumulative Fix Pack release notes
