EBS 12.1 Premier Support Extended
Oracle EBS 12.1 is now covered by Premier Support until December 31, 2021. There is no extended support. Oracle Lifetime Support Policy document is available at http://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/lifetime-support-applications-069216.pdf.
Premier Support includes new EBS 12.1 patches for:
· Individual product families (e.g. Oracle Financials)
· Quarterly security updates released via the Critical Patch Update process
· New technology stack certifications with server-based components
· New certifications for end-user desktops and mobile devices
Will Windows Monthly Rollups Work with EBS?
Microsoft announced that they will release security and reliability patches in a single monthly rollup update instead of as individual patches. They also announced the availability of a single security-only rollup. This change was effective from October 2016 onwards and applies to:
· Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
· Windows 8.1
· Windows Server 2008 R2
· windows Server 2012
· Windows Server 2012 R2
Microsoft monthly rollups and security-only updates are intended to be backwards-compatible with all applications. Existing Windows functionality does not change. It is expected that these updates will be fully-compatible with Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 and 12.2. Do not expect Oracle to release regular certification announcements for them. EBS customers do not have to wait for explicit certification announcements before applying Microsoft monthly updates or security-only updates to their Windows desktops or servers.
