Hi.
Currently on 11.2.0.4 db, (Linux RH6). Need to upgrade before the end of the year as waived fee ES ends at the close of 2018.
We have to upgrade to DB 12.1 as we are using EBS 12.1.3 and this is not supported on DB 12.2. The only other option is to upgrade EBS and that isnt a palatable option.
Yet we see that the Extended Support for 12.1 ends in August next year. So, we upgrade for a few months then have to start paying??
Does anyone know if there is an likelihood of the waived fee ES going beyond August next year? I have consulted Oracle via an SR and they are not really responding with anything concrete.
I imagine many others have found themselves in this situation.
We are in effect being cornered by Oracle - upgrade soon, but only to a version (12.1) that you can use with EBS, which will soon go out of Extended Support.
Seems a bit harsh!
Thanks,
