Database Patches Required by Oracle E-Business Suite on Oracle Engineered Systems: Exadata Database Machines and SuperClusters (Doc ID 1392527.1)

Last updated on DECEMBER 12, 2024

Purpose

This document details which database patches are required in addition to the database Release Update (RU) for Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.2, 12.1, and 11i deployed on on-premises Oracle engineered systems, either Oracle Exadata Database Machines or Oracle SuperClusters.

It is updated quarterly. The most current version can be obtained in My Oracle Support Knowledge <Document 1392527.1>.  Modifications are listed in the change log.  You should check for updates regularly, and in particular before performing any Oracle E-Business Suite maintenance operations.

Scope

Database patch release updates (RUs) are published quarterly.  They contain the latest critical security, functional, and performance database fixes.  Customers are encouraged to move to the latest database RU as soon as possible - ideally within the quarter they are released.

The Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) development team tests the supported versions of EBS against the latest database RU and one prior, for each database version certified and supported by EBS, identifying the additional database patches required by each version of EBS.  This document provides the list of database patches required and tested by EBS development for each supported version of EBS running on the latest database RU and one prior, for each supported database version, when that testing is complete.

The supported versions and lists of patches change at least quarterly, so it is important to review the current version of this document immediately prior to any maintenance of an E-Business Suite database on an engineered system.

If you are upgrading your database, use the information in this document in conjunction with the appropriate EBS Interoperability note:
