Section 1: Preparation
For information about known issues associated with specific products in Oracle E-Business Suite
Release 12.2.6 and possible workarounds for those issues, please reference the Known Issues
section of your specific product Release Note documents.

In Release 12.2.0 and higher, patching is performed by running the new adop (AD Online Patching)
utility. You must use adop instead of the adpatch utility that was provided in previous releases.
Download and unzip all the patches to the default Patch Top location for R12.2
($APPL_TOP_NE/../patch). For more information about the adop utility, refer to Oracle E-Business
Suite Concepts (Part No. E22949) and Oracle E-Business Suite Maintenance Guide, Release 12.2
(Part No. E22954).

Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.6 Release Update Pack requires Fusion Middleware Technology Stack
(FMW) 11.1.1.7 (11gR1 PS6) or higher. New Installation and Upgrade (upgrading to Oracle E-
Business Suite Release 12.2.6 from Release 11 i, 12.0, or 12.1) customers should use StartCD
12.2.0.51. StartCD 12.2.0.51 (Patch 22066363, RAPID INSTALL STARTCD 12.2.0.51) installs Oracle
Fusion Middleware 11g PS7 (11.1.1.9.0).

Section 2: Obsolete Products in Release 12.2.6

The following products are obsolete in Release 12.2.6:

 Oracle Demand Planning (obsolete in Release 12.2.5 and above)

 Oracle Manufacturing Scheduling (obsolete in Release 12.2.5 and above)

A migration plan exists for customers who have purchased these products in earlier releases. Contact
your Sales Representative or Account Manager for more information.

Support will be provided to existing customers on earlier releases, in accordance with the Oracle
Lifetime Support Policy.

Section 3: Upgrade Database to 11.2.0.4 or higher

If your Oracle E-Business Suite instance is currently on Database version 11.2.0.3, then you should
now upgrade to Database 11.2.0.4 or 12.1.0.2 before proceeding with next steps, by following
process documented in the appropriate Interoperability Notes:

 My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 1926201.1, Interoperability Notes Oracle EBS 12.2
with Oracle Database 12c Release 1
 My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 1623879.1, Interoperability Notes E-Business Suite
Release 12.2 with Database 11g Release 2

Note: Database desupport schedules have important operational and planning implications for
Oracle E-Business Suite environments. Oracle recommends that you review the following document
that details the latest database support policies and desupport schedules:

 My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 742060.1, Release Schedule of Current Database

Patch Sets

Section 4: Apply Required Database Patches and Update Database

Initialization Parameters
4.1 Apply Required Database Patches

Before you apply the AD and TXK Delta 8 release update packs (RUPs), you must run the latest
version (available via Patch 17537119) of the EBS Technology Codelevel Checker (ETCC). Use the
command checkDBpatch.sh (on UNIX) or checkDBpatch.cmd (on Windows).

Running the latest version is required in order to:

1. Check that all the required database patches have been applied. To learn more about
the prerequisite database patches needed for applying the Delta 8 RUPs, refer My Oracle
 Knowledge Document 1594274.1, Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2: Consolidated List of
Patches and Technology Bug Fixes.
2. Ensure all the required ETCC database objects will be found by the Delta 8 RUP
installation process. This means that even if you already have all the required database
patches installed, you must still run the latest version of ETCC on your database.

4.2 Set Database Parameter (Conditional)

Oracle Database 12c Release 1 uses cost based optimization. If you are using Oracle Database
12.1.0.2, the following optimizer parameter should always be set to 'false'. This setting should be
completed before proceeding with the next steps and should not be changed thereafter.

optimizer_adaptive_features=false

You can verify the parameter was set correctly by running the following command, which should
return the value FALSE:

SQL>show parameter optimizer_adaptive_features

For more information about database initialization parameters, refer to My Oracle Support
Knowledge Document 396009.1, Database Initialization Parameters for Oracle E-Business Suite
Release 12.

Section 5: Apply Consolidated Seed Table Upgrade Patch (Required)

Note: This step is applicable only for new installation customers and customers upgrading from
Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2.2 to Release 12.2.6.

If you haven't already applied Consolidated Seed Table Upgrade Patch 17204589:12.2.0, then you
must first apply Patch 17204589:12.2.0 on the run file system.

Note: If you have upgraded to Release 12.2.0 using Consolidated Upgrade Patch 22742071:12.2.0
(CUP7) or Patch 19796566:12.2.0 (CUP6) or Patch 18007406:12.2.0 (CUP5) or Patch
17197281:12.2.0 (CUP4), then you can skip this step.

1. Stop all application tier services on the run file system.

UNIX:

sh $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adstpall.sh

Windows:

C:\>%ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME%\adstpall.cmd

2. Start up only the Oracle Weblogic Admin Server on the run file system.

UNIX:

$ sh $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adadminsrvctl.sh start
 Windows:

C:\>%ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME%\adadminsrvctl.cmd start

3. Apply the consolidated seed table upgrade Patch 17204589:12.2.0 on the run file system
using adop hotpatch mode.

$ adop phase=apply patches=17204589 hotpatch=yes

Note: If the Release 12.2.0 Vision or PROD instance (New Installation) was created using
startCD 12.2.0.51 (Patch 22066363), you must apply Consolidated Seed Table Upgrade Patch
17204589:12.2.0 by merging with Patch 21900871:12.2.0 on the run file system using adop
hotpatch mode.

$ adop phase=apply patches=17204589,21900871 merge=yes hotpatch=yes

Note: For existing non-American languages in the system, skip NLS patch application for this.
It is not required.

4. Start up all application tier services.

Note: This step is applicable only for customers upgrading from Oracle E-Business Suite
Release 12.2.2 to Release 12.2.6.

UNIX:

$ sh $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adstrtal.sh

Windows:

C:\>%ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME%\adstrtal.cmd

Section 9: Post-Update Steps

Note: If you are upgrading from Release 11i, 12.0.x or 12.1.x to Release 12.2.6, then you must
continue with 12.2.0 post upgrade steps mentioned in the Upgrade guides before performing the
below steps.

1. Apply Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2.6 Online Help

Apply Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2.6 Online Help Patch 21900918 using adop
hotpatch mode on the run file system.

$ adop phase=apply patches=21900918 hotpatch=yes

2. Verify security configurations (required)

Apply Patch 24744399:R12.FND.C. After you apply this patch, your Oracle E-Business Suite
system is locked down until the system administrator configures or acknowledges the
recommended security configurations in the Secure Configuration Console to unlock the
system for normal usage. To access this console, a user must have a responsibility that
includes the Applications System (OAM_APP_SYSTEM) function privilege, such as the seeded
System Administration or System Administrator responsibilities, and must be registered as a
local user with Oracle E-Business Suite. The administrator must log in to Oracle E-Business
Suite using the local login page (http(s)://[host]:[port]/OA_HTML/AppsLocalLogin.jsp) to
navigate to the console and unlock the system. If a user with local system administrator
privileges is not available, you can access the Secure Configuration Console through a
command line utility. For more information, see "Secure Configuration Console" in the Oracle
E-Business Suite Security Guide, Part No. E22952.

3. Grant flexfield value set access to specific users (required)

Release 12.2 includes a new security feature, flexfield value set security; it controls who can
create or modify flexfield values in the Flexfield Values Setup window (FNDFFMSV). Flexfield
value set security requires some mandatory setup steps before any users can create or
update values in the Values window. You must perform this step if you have not already done
so for a previous version of Release 12.2.

Note: See the 'Flexfield Value Set Security' chapter in Oracle® E-Business Suite Flexfields
Guide, Release 12.2 (Part No. E22963).

4. Register new products (conditional)

The new products below (added in Release 12.2.4) are not automatically registered in your
system. If you intend to use new products, register them using License Manager. For
instructions, refer to Oracle E-Business Suite Maintenance Guide, Release 12.2 (Part No.
E22954).

5. Perform Product-Specific Steps (conditional)

After you have completed the steps to update all nodes with the latest code level, perform the
following post-update steps only if you have licensed this product:

o Application Technology tasks:

 Oracle Application Framework: Release 12.2.5 introduced an updated Look
and Feel for Oracle Application Framework-based pages, the Oracle Alta UI.
Ensure that you either set the Oracle Applications Look and Feel profile option to
"Alta Look and Feel" or to a Look and Feel that extends the Alta Look and Feel,
or leave this profile option blank to use the standard Alta Look and Feel by
default. Oracle supports only this standard Look and Feel, or one that extends it,
for R12.ATG_PF.C.Delta.5 and higher. Oracle no longer supports the Look and
Feel options of previous releases. For more details, refer to My Oracle Support
Knowledge Document 1315510.1, Oracle Application Framework Profile Options.
Additionally, if you have customized or extended the base functionality of any
Oracle Application Framework-based applications, review My Oracle Support
Knowledge Document 1927975.1, Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 Upgrade
Considerations for OA Framework-based Applications , to evaluate whether any
adjustments to custom code are needed.
 Oracle E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway: Oracle E-Business Suite
Integrated SOA Gateway requires post manual installation steps. If you are
using the Oracle E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway feature for web
service generation, deployment, and invocation, perform the steps documented
in My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 1311068.1, Installing Oracle E-
Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway, Release 12.2.

Note: Oracle E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway has product

dependencies on Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle E-Business Suite Adapter for
SOAP based web services. REST based web services do not have this
dependency. You are not required to install Oracle SOA Suite if you plan to use
only the REST based web services provided by Integrated SOA Gateway.

 Oracle Report Manager: Beginning in Release 12.2.5, you can optionally

choose to create financial report templates and Financial Statement Generator
reports in the Office Open XML (OOXML) format. If you have existing financial
report templates that were created before you enabled the OOXML format, then
you must migrate these templates to the new format. To do so, submit a
concurrent request for the Template Migration (FRM_TEMPLATE_MIGRATION)
program. For more information, see: Using the Office Open XML Format, Oracle
Report Manager User's Guide.
 Oracle Workflow:
a. If your Oracle Fusion Middleware version is earlier than 11.1.1.9, then
you must enable JSSE SSL in the Oracle E-Business Suite context file.
 This step is required for the Oracle Workflow Status Monitor to be
displayed. Use Oracle Applications Manager to update the Oracle E-
Business Suite context file.
 Log in to Oracle E-Business Suite as a system administrator.
 Navigate to System Administration: Oracle Applications Manager >
AutoConfig.
 Select the application tier context file, and choose Edit Parameters.
 Search for the s_enable_jsse variable by selecting OA_VAR in the
search list of values and entering s_enable_jsse in the search text
box. Then choose the Go button.
 By default, the s_enable_jsse variable is set to false. Change this
value to true to enable JSSE SSL. Refer to the description of the
context variable for more information.
 Choose the Save button.
 Enter a reason for the update, such as Enabling JSSE SSL. Then
choose the OK button.
 Execute AutoConfig and restart all application tier services. For
more information about AutoConfig, see: Technical Configuration,
Oracle E-Business Suite Setup Guide.
b. Verify the required Oracle Workflow directory service assignments for the
SYSADMIN user, and run the Workflow Directory Services User/Role
Validation concurrent program (FNDWFDSURV) to update the assignment
records if necessary.

Perform the following three checks to verify the directory service

assignments:

 Log in to Oracle E-Business Suite as the SYSADMIN user and check

whether the Application Diagnostics responsibility appears for this
user in the navigator. If not, then run the Workflow Directory
Services User/Role Validation concurrent program with the
parameters listed below.
 Execute the following SQL query:

SELECT ASSIGNING_ROLE, LAST_UPDATE_DATE, USER_ORIG_SYSTEM,

USER_ORIG_SYSTEM_ID, ROLE_ORIG_SYSTEM, ROLE_ORIG_SYSTEM_ID
FROM WF_USER_ROLE_ASSIGNMENTS WHERE USER_NAME = 'SYSADMIN'
AND ROLE_NAME =
'FND_RESP|FND|APPLICATION_DIAGNOSTICS|STANDARD';

If the originating system or originating system ID is null for either

the user or the role in any of the records returned by this query,
then run the Workflow Directory Services User/Role Validation
concurrent program with the parameters listed below.

 Execute the following SQL query to obtain the originating system

ID of the Application Diagnostics responsibility in your Oracle E-
Business Suite instance:

SELECT ORIG_SYSTEM_ID FROM WF_LOCAL_ROLES WHERE NAME =

'FND_RESP|FND|APPLICATION_DIAGNOSTICS|STANDARD';
 Next, execute the following SQL query, replacing <RESP_ID> with
the originating system ID returned by the previous query:

SELECT * FROM FND_USER_RESP_GROUPS WHERE RESPONSIBILITY_ID

= <RESP_ID> AND USER_ID = 0;

If this query does not return any rows, then run the Workflow
Directory Services User/Role Validation concurrent program with
the parameters listed below.

To update the assignment records for the SYSADMIN user, run the
Workflow Directory Services User/Role Validation concurrent program
with the following parameters:

 Batch size: 10000 (the default value)

 User name: SYSADMIN
 Role name: FND_RESP|FND|APPLICATION_DIAGNOSTICS|STANDARD
 Fix dangling users: No
 Add missing user/role assignments: Yes
 Update WHO columns in WF tables: Yes
 Number of Parallel Processes: Optionally specify the number of
parallel processes you want to use when running the program.

For more information about this program, see: Validating Directory

Service Information, Oracle Workflow Administrator's Guide.

o Customer Relationship Management tasks:

 Oracle Advanced Scheduler and Field Service: If you plan to leverage real-
time travel calculations for geo-coding and routing in Advanced Scheduler and
Field Service, refer to My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 1560522.1,
Navteq ODF Installation Steps For Advanced Scheduler 12.2.2 or later , for
Navteq ODF data installation and configuration steps. Note that the installation
of ODF data and the corresponding deployment configuration is a one-time
setup.
 Oracle Incentive Compensation customers: If you use or plan to use
Oracle Incentive Compensation Analytics, refer to My Oracle Support Knowledge
Document 1580131.1 for complete deployment and configuration steps of
Oracle Incentive Compensation Analytics for ODI 11g.

 If you have implemented Microsoft Project to Oracle Projects Integration, re-
install the Microsoft Project Integration. See My Oracle Support Knowledge
Document 1358550.1, How to reinstall Microsoft Project to Oracle Projects
Integration.

o Financials tasks:
 Oracle Subledger Accounting: Re-validate all Applications Accounting
Definitions (AAD) in the system by running the concurrent request, Validate
Application Accounting Definitions, after applying this patch for the changes to
become effective. Refer to My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 1406203.1,
Steps to Run Import And Validate AAD (Application Accounting Definition) with
troubleshooting for instructions on how to validate AAD.
o Human Resources tasks:
 Human Resources Legislative customers only: Refer to My Oracle Support
Knowledge Document 1469456.1 for details on the patches supplying the latest
legislative data definitions and for instructions on how to actually apply this data
to your system.
 Single Latest Balance Table Upgrade (For Payroll customers only): If
one or more business groups have not been upgraded to the single latest
balance table, run the concurrent program 'Generic Upgrade' for 'Single Latest
Balance Table Upgrade' to upgrade to Single Latest balance table.

The upgrade is executed by the business group. Refer to My Oracle Support

Knowledge Document 1937092.1, How to determine which business groups
need to be upgraded to "Single Latest Balance Table", for information about the
SQL command that enables the display of business groups that were not
executed.

 Submit the Update Action Type of Assignment Action (For Payroll

customers only): If the Upgrade Action Type was not executed globally, run
the 'Generic Upgrade' concurrent program for 'Update Action Type of
Assignment Action'. If the Assignment Action Type is set in the Assignment
