The 11gR2
11.2.0.2 Database was certified with E-Business Suite (EBS) 11i and EBS 12 almost one year ago today.  I’m pleased to
announce that 11.2.0.3, the second patchset for the 11gR2 Database is now
certified. Be sure to review the
interoperability notes for R11i
and R12
for the most up-to-date requirements for deployment.   
  This certification announcement is important as
you plan upgrades to the technology stack for your environment. For additional upgrade direction, please
refer to the recently published EBS
upgrade recommendations article. Database
support implications may also be reviewed in the database
patching and support article.
