Very interesting changes in Oracle EBS 12.2

There are 3 interesting changes in Oracle EBS 12.2 version:


One : The 10g oc4j (oracle containers for java) is replaced with 11g web logic server.


The EBS 12.2 Internal technology stack will have Fusion middleware 11g components: web logic server, web logic JSP and UIX 11g.


Two: Oracle 11g release 2 (11gR2 database) Edition- Based redefinition supports online patching.


                                          The database component of the EBS application can be upgraded while all the Application services are up and running and   while those components are in use by the connected application users. This enables upgrade of the application component without a downtime.

The database objects/components to be upgraded are done so by copying it to a different location and when all looks fine it’s made available to the application users replacing the old ones.

Online Patching is done to the EBS 12.2 while the application is up and running and later  requiring a minimal downtime to complete the patching process.


Three:  Oracle Single sign-on will not be certified in EBS 12.2


Users on Oracle Single sign-on will have to migrate to Oracle access manager as EBS 12.2 will not be certified with Single sign-on.
