Key Highlights of EBS 12.2.15

1️⃣ Introduction of “What’s New” Home Experience

One of the most visible improvements in this release is the introduction of a centralized “What’s New” documentation hub.

This new framework helps both technical and functional users easily understand enhancements introduced in each release. The documentation is organized by product families and includes:

• Detailed feature descriptions

• Screenshots demonstrating new capabilities

• Configuration and setup instructions

• Practical usage recommendations

Previously, organizations had to rely heavily on Release Content Documents (RCDs) and Transfer of Information (TOI) presentations. The new approach significantly simplifies feature discovery and improves adoption.

2️⃣ Fully Cumulative Update

EBS 12.2.15 is a cumulative release, which means:

• It includes all fixes and improvements from previous 12.2 updates

• It bundles previously released one-off patches

• It reduces patching complexity for customers catching up on maintenance

For organizations running older 12.2 releases, this significantly reduces the number of patches required to reach the latest supported level.

3️⃣ Online Patching Support

One of the biggest strengths of the EBS 12.2 architecture remains intact.

The 12.2.15 RUP can be applied using:

👉 Online Patching (ADOP)

This allows patching while the production system remains available to users, minimizing downtime and business disruption. This capability continues to be a major differentiator of EBS 12.2 compared to earlier versions.
