Key Highlights for R12.2
Significant enhancements across an integrated suite of business applications and new Online Patching capabilities .
Some of the Key Benefits of Online Patching are:
Easier to negotiate downtime with lines of business as minimal downtime is required (minutes vs. hours)
Easier to identify potential brief downtime windows, allowing for greater opportunities for patching during the work day
Applications stay online during patch application
Critical business operations are not impacted
This helps Oracle EBS 12.2 enables organizations to reduce planned maintenance times, make better decisions, reduce costs and increase performance.
Procurement and supply chain management professionals may benefit from Online Patching – a function aimed at support organizations with high-availability requirements. It is intended to reduce patching and maintenance downtimes.
In addition, Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2 leverages Oracle’s integrated technology stack, Oracle Fusion Middleware, to help drive efficiencies and improve the availability, performance and scalability of applications.
On technical side, Release 12.2 will replace Oracle Containers for Java (OC4J) 10g with WebLogic Server 11g and Database Tier will run RDBMS 11gR2 (or 11gR3 when available and certified) to support Online Patching

Oracle’s Instantis EnterpriseTrack is the leading, cloud-optimized enterprise project portfolio management (PPM) software used by IT and project
management offices (PMOs) to improve strategy execution and financial performance through better work and resource management. It provides an
end-to-end solution for managing, tracking, and reporting on enterprise strategies, processes, projects, programs, portfolios, products, resources, costs,
and benefits. Unlike competitive alternatives, Instantis EnterpriseTrack is easy to deploy quickly, easy to use and administer, and easy to afford.
Even before Gartner had a magic quadrant for cloud-based PPM products, Instantis was ranked the highest with a “strong positive” in 2011.
To follow, in both 2012 and 2013 Oracle Instantis has appeared in the leadership quadrant so consistently strong rankings for years now.This is the most recent quadrant from Gartner put out in May of this year.
The ORACLE-INSTANTIS-ENTERPRISETRACK system empowers IT and PPM/PMO leaders with the ability to:
Plan and execute multiple project portfolio types centrally
Manage demand and resource utilization across IT and other project portfolio types; and
Monitor, report and analyze project portfolio activity, status, and results metrics
The world has lost a great motivational guru Stephen Covey. I'm sure you've read the CNN report that Stephen Covey passed away Monday July 16 at the age of 79.
Steven's books and presentations paved the way for those of us in the business of improving other people's lives.I think his books influenced almost everyone in business today.He wrote books like
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness
First Things First
Principle-Centered Leadership
Stephen Covey’s books and principles were a huge part of my personal and professional training. The world at large, not just the business world, are better for his contributions. Thanks you Stephen Covey for the shared wisdom and charity over the years.
