[Editor Aug 24, 2006 Update: The SSO 10g Integration Patch for the E-Business Suite is now available — see this article: DMZs, SSL & RAC for OracleAS 10g + Release 11i]
This is significant news: the latest Family Pack Rollup for the E-Business Suite Technology Stack is now available for download.
This Rollup patch is cumulative: all previous patches released for Family Pack H since the initial 11.5.10 release, including Rollup 3, are included in this latest patch.
Why Is This Rollup Important?
We’ve spent a huge amount of effort both within the Applications Technology
Group and across the entire Applications Suite to test and certify this
Rollup patch.
Our focus for ATG Rollup 4 has been to consolidate all known safe defect fixes, performance improvements and security enhancements into one well integrated and fully certified update. We also focused on eliminating as many “co-requisite” patches as possible (application product patches required to interoperate with new ATG Rollups), by working to restore backward compatibility with earlier application levels wherever possible.
We recommend that all customers make plans to move to Rollup 4 by the end of the year, especially any customers who are not already at ATG Rollup 3.
Changes and Fixes in Rollup 4
ATG Family Pack H Rollup 4 (11i.ATG_PF.H RUP 4, Patch 4676589) includes a range of new features and bug fixes for:
- Alerts
- Workflow
- Oracle Applications Framework (OAF)
- Forms Personalization
- XML Gateway
- Password management
- Flexfields
- Oracle User Management (UMX)
- Oracle Applications Tablespace Migration (OATM)
- XML Publisher
- Concurrent Processing
Oracle Applications Technology ATG_PF.H RUP4 can be applied only to an existing Oracle Applications Release 11i system running Oracle Applications Technology Family Pack 11i.ATG_PF.H, which is included in Oracle Applications Release 11.5.10. If you don’t already have a running Release 11.5.10 system, then you must first install the Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10 or patch up to Applications Technology Family Pack 11i.ATG_PF.H.
Special Advisory for Single Sign-On 10g Users
The SSO 10g Integration patch for Rollup 4 (Build 4.0) is still undergoing certification and will be made available in late August 2006.
If you’ve already integrated your E-Business Suite environment with Single Sign-On 10g by following Metalink Note 233436.1, you should postpone your implementation of 11i.ATG_PF.H RUP 4 until Build 4.0 is released. As usual, I’ll announce the availability of that patch here when it’s released publicly.
