Web-based content in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 is supported by the Oracle Application Framework (also known as OA Framework, OAF, or FWK) user interface libraries and associated infrastructure. We periodically release OAF updates to fix performance, security, and stability issues.
How Do OAF Updates Work?
OAF updates are packaged in three formats:
- Cumulative Release Update Packs (RUPs)
- Cumulative Bundle Patches (BPs, often referred to as bundle patches or just bundles)
- Consolidated Patches
Note the following important points about these updates:
- Cumulative means that the latest RUP or BP includes all the updates provided in previous RUPs or BPs for a given EBS release.
- RUPs and BPs (bundles) can only be applied to the specified EBS release (or releases) and no other.
- For example:
- A bundle for Release 12.2.13 cannot be applied to Release 12.2.12 (or any other).
- A bundle for Release 12.2.7 can also be applied to Release 12.2.8, as these two releases share a codeline.
- For example:
- BPs are the most frequent type of update released.
- BPs can be applied on top of the corresponding RUPs.
- A consolidated patch may be made available shortly after a major release (such as 12.2.13), as a predecessor to the the first numbered bundle patch.
Which OAF Bundle Should I Apply?
We highly recommend adopting a policy of applying the latest consolidated patch or bundle patch, to take advantage of fixes both in it and its predecessors.
The following table lists latest OAF patches that are currently available for the Oracle E-Business Suite Releases listed.
