The big news from Charles Phillips’s keynote at the OAUG Collaborate conference this morning is that Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 is now available for download. This brand-new release includes both Rapid Install and Maintenance Pack options:
The Rapid Install may be used to create a new Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 environment.
The Maintenance Pack may be used to upgrade an existing Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.0.x environment to 12.1.1.
This release includes a new Rapid Install that allows you to upgrade to 12.1.1 from EBS 11.5.9, 11.5.10, 11.5.10.CU1, and 11.5.10.CU2.
