Oracle E-Business Suite Technology

Hi, Good news for Apps DBA to upgrate DB to 11g for EBS -R12

Oracle Database 11gR1 (11.1.0.6) Certified with E-Business Suite Release 12

I'm very pleased to announce a highly-anticipated certification that our teams have been working on, just in time for OpenWorld: Oracle Database 11gR1 Version 11.1.0.6 is now certified with E-Business Suite Release 12. This complements our previously-announced 11gR1 Database certification for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i. The good news about the complementary nature of these two certifications means that you can upgrade your Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i environment to the 11gR1 Database now and move up to Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 later.

This certification for EBS Release 12 version 12.0.4 and up includes:

* Oracle Database 11gR1 Version 11.1.0.6
* Oracle Database 11gR1 Version 11.1.0.6 Real Application Clusters (RAC)

Certified Platforms

* Linux x86
* IBM AIX
* Sun Solaris SPARC
* HP-UX PA-RISC
* HP-UX Itanium
* Linux x86-64
