    Hi Steven,

    What would you recommend using for the EBS RDBMS 12.1.0.2?

    Combo OJVM PSU 12.1.0.2.161018 and Database PSU 12.1.0.2.161018 Patch:24433133 as mentioned by Doc ID 2181748.1 (Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 Critical Patch Update Knowledge Document (October 2016))

    or

    Combo of 12.1.0.2.161018 OJVM PSU and 12.1.0.2.161018 DBBP (Oct 2016) Patch:24436306

    Regards,

    or

    Combo of 12.1.0.2.161018 OJVM PSU and 12.1.0.2.161018 DBBP (Oct 2016) (Patch:24436306)
