In conjunction with last week’s release of the Applications 12.0.6 Release Update Pack, the sixth major update for the Apps Release 12 technology stack is now available for download from Metalink:
- Oracle Applications Technology Update Pack 12.0.6 (Patch 7237006)
Family Pack Updates vs. Release Update Packs
New readers might have missed previous discussions about naming standards. To recap: in Release 11i, we have these things called Rollup Patches, which inexplicably became known as “RUPs.” Release 11i Rollup Patches contain patches for a single
product family (e.g. ATG Family Pack H Rollup 4).
In Release 12, we’re now shipping these things called Release Update Packs. Given the way that neologisms form, it’s inevitable that these will be called “RUPs” too. The difference is that the
R12 Release Update Packs combine patches created across several E-Business Suite product families.
The patch that we’re announcing today only includes updates for the Applications Technology family of products, that is, the technology stack for the E-Business Suite Release 12. This patch does not include updates to the functional applications like
Financials or HRMS. For information about the broader Apps 12.0.6 Release Update Pack, see:
The Oracle Applications Technology Family Pack for Release 12.0.6 includes all fixes released on top of ATG Family Pack A, including those released in the following updates:
Apps 12.0.1 Release Update Pack
Apps 12.0.2 Release Update Pack
Apps 12.0.3 Release Update Pack
Apps 12.0.4 Release Update Pack
Since this is the sixth update to the Release 12 technology stack, its official (admittedly cryptic) name is: R12.ATG_PF.A.DELTA.6.
