Fixed Assets Recommended Patch Collections
- by Cindy A B-Oracle
After the introduction of the Recommended Patch Collections (RPCs) in late 2012, Fixed Assets development has released an RPC about every six months. You may recall that an RPC is a collection of recommended patches consolidated into a single, downloadable patch, ready to be applied. The RPCs are created with the following goals in mind:
Stability: Address issues that occur often and interfere with the normal completion of crucial business processes, such as period close--as observed by Oracle Development and Global Customer Support.
Root Cause Fixes: Deliver a root cause fix for data corruption issues that delay period close, normal transaction flow actions, performance, and other issues.
Compact: While bundling a large number of important corrections, the file footprint is kept as small as possible to facilitate uptake and minimize testing.
Reliable: Reliable code with multiple customer downloads and comprehensive testing by QA, Support and Proactive Support.
There has been a revision to the RPC release process for spring 2014. Instead of releasing product-specific RPCs, development has released a 12.1.3 RPC that is EBS-wide. This EBS RPC includes all product-recommended patches along with their dependencies.
To find out more about this EBS-wide RPC, please review Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3+ Recommended Patch Collection 1 (RPC1) (Doc ID 1638535.1).
