Which Oracle Access Manager Patchsets Can Be Used with EBS?
Oracle versions numbers can be very long. Complicating matters further, different product families within Oracle use the version hierarchy differently. This can make it confusing to determine whether a specific product update has been certified with Oracle E-Business Suite.
Specifically, a customer recently asked whether it was acceptable to apply the Oracle Access Manager 11.1.2.2.8 update to their OAM instance that was integrated with EBS 12.1.3. They were concerned because our OAM integration documentation for that combination explicitly specified compatibility with OAM 11.1.2.2.0.
The OAM team uses the fifth digit for Bundle Patches, Patch Set Updates (PSU) and Security Patch Updates (SPU). In this particular case, the fifth-level digit in the Oracle Access Manager version is not relevant. In other words, the customer could apply OAM 11.1.2.2.8 because it was covered by the OAM 11.1.2.2.0 certification.
