Oracle Support Compliance – Release 11.5.10.2 Support Milestones
Premium Support for E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 ended November 30, 2010.
• First year of 11.5.10.2 EBS Extended Support fees are waived.
• Mandatory Patches – Minimum Baseline Patches for Extended Support 11.5.10.2 – After December 1, 2010 (Note 883202.1)
From MOS Note 883202.1
To benefit from Extended Support and thereby be eligible for new bug fixes, Release 11.5.10 customers should have applied the listed baseline patches by the end of November 2010. The practical significance of that date is that since then new bug fixes will only be created for the listed baseline patches (or patches that supersede them).
Additional restrictions apply to earlier releases. Oracle E-Business Suite systems on baseline Release 11.5.8 or lower are not eligible for patches, regardless of the individual product level. Similarly, systems on baseline Release 11.5.9 will not be eligible for patches after June 30, 2011.
All customers are, however, eligible to continue receiving technical support including access to online support tools, knowledge bases, pre-existing fixes, and service request resolution for as long as they operate their Oracle E-Business Suite systems.
To be eligible for Extended Support, a system must meet both system level and product level requirements:
- System Level Requirements – An Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11.5.10 system’s core components (such as the database or technology stack) must be patched to the levels listed in Section 1 below.
- Product Level Requirements – All Oracle E-Business Suite licensed products and shared (dependent) products must be patched to at least the minimum levels shown in Section 2 below. See the References section for details of licensing definitions and options.

Section 2
Refer to this MOS Note for a complete list of additional patches: Patch Requirements for Extended Support of Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11.5.10 [ID 883202.1]
Work through this list of patches and determine the patches needed based on the modules you have installed. You’ll need to review each patch README and determine any required prequisites. After completing this list of patches, each list will be unique to each client and new patches are continuously released, so be on the lookout for newer superceded patches. Then, follow these additional steps to determine any other patches.
1 CUP1 preinstall patches – see MOS Doc. ID: Oracle E-Business Suite Pre-install Patches Report (Note 1448102.1) – this list is new since Buzzi, so you should probably replace all the CUP1 patches with these new ones. There are more than twice as many with this new list from Oracle, so more than 150 patches.
2. Run Patch Wizard after the 12.1.1 upgrade and research all the extra patches that come from Patch Wizard. Then, you should just have patches that are the most recent, so, maybe another 50-100, plus all their prereqs and post patches and steps.
3. Re-run patchsets.sh, as I imagine some new family packs have come out. One that I know of is for Desktop Integrator – Oracle Web Applications Desktop Integrator 12.1.3 Release Update Patchset 1 (Patch 9790225, R12.BNE.B)
From a recent client these are the list of patches we used for Mandatory patches:
Mandatory preinstall patches
4761660, 6323851 preinstall=y
4626807 has been superseded by 6323851
3485155, 4166862, 6350124, 7429271, 9577274 apply in normal patch mode. These are pre-patches for the rest of the mandatory patches, but not preinstall=y patches.
7429271 is AD RUP7 applied in the previous step
