Siebel's PATCH issue is fixed in 25.9 release

 

Well, well , well. Look where we are. Back in Siebel. Yep, turns out Siebel is still alive and kicking. And Oracle has noticed.

Siebel 25.9 release is out, and the big highlight , for me , at least, is the fix for PATCH outbound apis. 

Now , if you are unaware of this issue, chances are , you are not using Siebel. Or maybe your application does not invoke outbound REST apis using the PATCH method.

Issues in the linked Java libraries had broken the PATCH method for years now. The error returned was: 

java.net.ProtocolException: Invalid HTTP method: PATCH

Our application had this issue , and we had raised it with Oracle for a permanent fix. This was finally delivered in this month's binary.
