Oracle just released EBS 12.2.11, an updated version of the software. This updated version Oracle EBS Testing delivers notable improvements in terms of security, speed, and stability, along with new features, statutory, and regulatory revisions.


For enterprises who are still using 12.1 or previous versions, we’ve highlighted five benefits for EBS upgrade that might help them plan their upcoming update.

**Benefits Of Oracle EBS Testing**

■ **Premier Long-Term Support for Lower TCO**

In order to offer innovations and technology stack improvements focused on application functionality, scalability, usability, and a dedication to lowering the total cost of ownership, Oracle has implemented a Continuous Innovation approach.

Oracle EBS 12.2 promises brand-new features built on the newest technology and top support through the year 2031.

■ **Installation Made Simpler by New Tools**

With the help of Oracle’s Rapid Install tool, new versions of Oracle Fusion Middleware platform technologies, a new code level for applications, and upgrade scripts for moving existing data, PL/SQL, and schema to a new Oracle E-Business Suite release level can all be installed and deployed without hassle.

Additionally, Oracle EBS 12.2 offers increased compatibility for installation on pre-existing Real Application Clusters systems and database servers.

The upgrading procedure is smooth and error-free thanks to the inclusion of two tools, EURC-DT and ETPAT-AT. With the aid of the EBS Technology Patch Automation Tool – Application Tier (ETPAT-AT), important EBS Release 12.2.0 application tier technology stack components like Fusion Middleware and WebLogic Server may be patched automatically.

Additionally, the EBS 12.2 Upgrade Readiness Checker Tool – Database Tier (EURC-DT) identifies necessary pre-upgrade activities and mitigates common reasons of failure based on a set of essential technical criteria.

■ **Online patching and little downtime**

Online Patching, a ground-breaking Oracle capability, enables businesses to update their ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) applications while the systems are active, and users are logged in.

This ensures minimal downtime, particularly for industrial and global enterprises. A suite-wide patch package is released each year along with application upgrades that are cumulative and incorporate bug fixes and new features.

The code of the Oracle E-Business Suite apps cannot be updated, but new versions of the Oracle Fusion Middleware platform technologies can be accessible. On the other hand, technological stack updates are implemented independently.

■ **New Applications for Better Business Value**

Several cross-functional apps that have been improved from earlier versions may be found in Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2. Oracle iStore has been upgraded with improved B2B tools for order management, including search and filters to locate the best items and prices efficiently.

Second, by leveraging charts, search, and metrics functionality, the Oracle Advanced Pricing Command Center enables better pricing maintenance and provides greater insight on pricing. In addition, this command centre makes use of Web Application Desktop Integrator (ADI) to offer an Excel spreadsheet-based selective updating of price lists and promotions.

In order to provide more control and increase order flow productivity, the Order Management Interface is packed with customer-focused functionality.

Better visibility for promotional and included products, the ability to submit quotations and orders using Web ADI on an Excel spreadsheet, and support for custom attributes in rules and frameworks are a few of these additions.

**Conclusion**
