Should You Upgrade to This Release? There are two important considerations if you’re deciding whether to upgrade to this release.  The first:  Premier Support for 10gR2 ended in July 2010.  The second: Error Correction Support for 10.2.0.4 ends in April 2011 — in three months.  For more details about what this means for E-Business Suite environments, and recommendations, see this article: EBS 12 References EBS 11i References Related Articles
