Issue

  • What are service packs and fix packs?
  • Is there a recommended renewal timing?

Environment

  • Liferay Portal 6.2, Liferay DXP 7.0, Liferay DXP 7.1, Liferay DXP 7.2

solution

  • Service packs are bundles that are used when first downloading a particular version of Liferay.
    In addition to bug fixes and security enhancements, updates to Suites, Plugins, etc. are included.

    The timing for downloading service packs is applicable when a new bundle is needed or when a new project is started in Liferay.
    For this reason, we do not provide specific recommended timing for updating service packs.
    We recommend updating the fix packs described below.

  • The fixpack contains bug fixes and security enhancement fixes.
    The shorter release interval compared to service packs ensures that the product is always up-to-date.

    Regarding the timing of application, we recommend updating at the following pace, as shown inLiferay DXP Patch Application Recommendation Cycle.
    Development mode:Monthly updates
    Production mode:Semi-annual updates
