EBS Technology Codelevel Checker (ETCC) OCT-2024 Update
Introduction to ETCC
Β The EBS Technology Code Level Checker (ETCC) includes two scripts that examine the Oracle Homes of both the Database and the Middle tier. These scripts serve to identify any missing bug fixes that are necessary for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2. It is highly recommended by Oracle to utilize this utility in order to ensure that all the required bug fixes for the database and middle tier have been successfully installed.
The E-Business Suite T
echnology Codelevel Checker (ETCC) is a critical tool for ensuring your Oracle E-Business Suite environment meets the required patch levels for database and technology stack components. It helps identify missing patches that are mandatory for compatibility and stability, especially during upgrades like migrating to Oracle Database 19c.
Β
ETCC serves two primary purposes:
- Mandatory Patch Validation:
It identifies missing database patches (e.g., Database Patch Set Updates (PSUs), Release Updates (RUs), and one-off patches) that are required for E-Business Suite to function optimally. This prevents potential performance or compatibility issues caused by missing patches. - Technology Stack Validation:
It checks for required patches across the technology stack components, such as Oracle WebLogic Server or Fusion Middleware, ensuring the overall environment is consistent with Oracleβs recommendations.
Key Features:
- Ease of Use:
ETCC can be run on the database server, providing a report of missing patches without making any changes. - Pre-Upgrade Assistance:
It is particularly useful during upgrades (e.g., moving to Database 19c) to verify all required patches are applied in advance, reducing downtime and troubleshooting efforts. - Up-to-Date Compliance:
Oracle regularly updates ETCC to reflect the latest patch requirements, ensuring you always meet the latest standards.
How It Works:
ETCC consists of scripts that:
- Compare your current environment with Oracleβs patch baseline.
- Generate a detailed report listing the missing patches and instructions on how to apply them.
Β
ETCC is an essential tool to streamline patching and upgrades while minimizing the risks of downtime or errors in Oracle E-Business Suite environments.
