Oracle E-Business Suite customers should run on a database that is covered by Error Correction Support (ECS). Extended Support ended for Oracle Database 12.1.0.2 in July 2022 and for Oracle Database 11.2.0.4 in December 2020. If you are using EBS 12.2 and 12.1 and still running Oracle Database 12.1.0.2 or 11.2.0.4, we recommend upgrading to Oracle Database 19c as soon as possible.
Oracle Database releasese 12.1.0.2 and 11.2.0.4 have Upgrade Support, the successor to Market Driven Support (MDS), available through December 31, 2024. Any new patches will be provided for these database releases only if you have subscribed to the Upgrade Support program provided by Oracle Customer Success Services (CSS).
If you do not have Upgrade Support but still need to use your 12.1.0.2 or 11.2.0.4 databases, we recommend that you contact your Oracle account team and enroll in the Upgrade Support program.
