Current
release is R12.1.3 (but you already knew that!). Enhancements coming
with R12.2 include Online Patching (20 years in the making) based on
a database feature specifically requested by the E-Business Suite
group called "Edition-Based Redefinition". The expectation
is that you will be able to apply patches of any size with minimal
downtime (less than an hour, target is more like 15 minutes). (I will discuss this feature in a more in-depth posting later).
Other
enhancements include integration with Endeca to provide an e-commerce
shopping experience to many of your ERP business processes. (I've
heard the "shopping for shoes" reference three times
already at OpenWorld when discussing this feature). Cliff Godwin
provided an interesting demo of this feature during his presentation
earlier today. It is expected that this capability will be released
"within the year". Cliff made a point to indicate that
initial releases will cover several modules (I believe it was eight
at initial release) but that new modules and Endeca-related features
should come along quickly (due to the rapid development cycles
available with Endeca). He was unclear, however, as to whether the
Endeca feature set will be available on releases prior to R12.2.
