The Oracle 11gR1 Database version 11.1.0.7 was certified with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i last December.  I’m pleased to announce that it’s now certified with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12, too.  11.1.0.7 is the first database
patchset available for the 11g Release 1 Database version 11.1.0.6.
For those of you planning to upgrade from Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i to 12, this means that the database releases for Apps are back in parity.  You can upgrade directly to Apps R12. from whatever 11gR1 database release you might be running
with your Apps 11i environment — 11.1.0.6 or 11.1.0.7.
