Oracle E-Business Suite Technology

I am buried under email following an unexpected multi-week absence.  Combined with OpenWorld preparations, it may be a while before I get scaled up to a regular publishing cycle again.

However, I'll squeeze in a small but important update to a previous article:

• Upgrading to E-Business Suite Release 12

That article stated that, "We plan to support upgrades from any Release 11i version to Release 12.  If your environment is at any level between 11.5.1 to 11.5.10, you should be able to upgrade to Release 12."

This is still technically correct.  But there's one more thing.  Our release engineering team has stated that it is expected that 11.5.10 will be a prerequisite for desupported E-Business Suite versions (11.5.6 or earlier) for the Release 12 upgrade. 

So, if you're on an earlier desupported release, say, 11.5.3, you will need to upgrade to 11.5.10 first.  Once you're on 11.5.10, you'll be able to upgrade to Release 12.
