We continue to release updates to EBS 12.2 technology stack (TXK) and Applications Database (AD) components based on customer feedback. We released the first set of updates in March 2014, the second set in May 2014, the third set in July 2014, and have now made available a fourth set of critical updates.
If you are on Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2, we strongly recommend that you apply these two newly-released patch collections (bundle fixes) at your earliest convenience:
- Bundle Fixes for R12.AD.C.Delta.5 (Patch 19581770:R12.AD.C)
- Bundle Fixes for R12.TXK.C.Delta.5 (Patch 19445058:R12.TXK.C)
Applying these on top of AD Delta 5 and TXK Delta 5 respectively will bring you to the recommended codelevel for AD and TXK:
- AD Delta 5 (Patch 18283295) + Bundle Fixes (Patch 19581770)
- TXK Delta 5 (Patch 18288881) + Bundle Fixes (Patch 19445058)
Important: You must always keep your AD and TXK codelevels synchronized.
What Is a Codelevel?
Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 patches are grouped into codelines.
A codeline begins with a point release (for example, Release 12.0) and
progresses to include all the patches created to maintain that point
release.
Patches associated with codelines implement a set of
features for a point release, and also provide fixes for that set of
features. Such a unique set of product features for a point release is
referred to as a a codelevel. You can think of it as the code you
get when you apply a set of patches: in other words, it is defined by
the patches that deliver it. Codelevels are cumulative, with each
containing the initial set of features plus all the fixes created for
that product.
Benefits of the Latest Codelevel
There are several important reasons you should adopt this latest recommended AD/TXK codelevel:
- It includes a number of significant fixes and improvements.
- New patches to implement code fixes will only be appliable to the latest AD/TXK codelevel.
- No code fixes will be created for earlier AD/TXK codelevels.
How Can I Get To the Latest Codelevel?
