Oracle Database 11g is now certified with E-Business Suite Release 11i
Yes, Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.6.0) is now certified with E-Business Suite Release 11i on Linux x86-32 and Windows platforms. The prerequisites are the following:
- Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10 Consolidation Update 2 (11.5.10.2)
- Oracle Database Release 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.6.0)
- Oracle Applications Technology ATG_PF.H Rollup 6. This document provides a complete, up-to-date description of Oracle Applications Technology 11i.ATG_PF.H.delta.6 (RUP6) (5903765).
- Oracle Developer 6i Patch Set 18 (6.0.8.27). This document explains the steps needed to upgrade the version of Oracle Developer used with Oracle Applications 11i.
Additional interoperability patches are also required. For complete details, you should see the Metalink Note #452783.1 below.
Limitations
- Upgrade of existing non-RAC 9i and 10g E-Business Suite 11i databases to 11.1.0.6 RAC using RCONFIG utility is not yet certified. There will be separate announcement as soon as the effort is complete.
- For customers using Dell hardware, see Note 555036.1 on OracleMetaLink. This affects functionality which uses the 11g JDBC such as AutoConfig on the database tier
- [Update further comments on this post] Starting in Oracle Database 11g Release 1, the physical standby database can be opened with read-only access while redo is being applied to the standby database. This mode, referred to as real-time query standby, allows users to access an up-to-date physical standby database for queries at any time. Using the Physical Standby DB as the reporting DB in an E-BS context is not currently certified.

This certification of 11g with E-Business Suite 11i is a very important point for all customers using Physical Dataguard for High Availability because starting in Oracle Database 11g Release 1, the physical standby database can be opened with read-only access while redo is being applied to the standby database. This mode, referred to as real-time query standby, allows users to access an up-to-date physical standby database for queries at any time. We could to start to think to use the Physical Standby DB as the reporting DB.
We’re aware that a lot of customers would like to upgrade to 11g in order to use it as a reporting DB. We have been informed that these feature is not yet certified. We’re following it and I will update this post as soon as possible.
