ETCC
EBS Customers are, by now, familiar with the “EBS Technology Codelevel Checker (ETCC)”. This tool, updated at least every quarter, can scan your EBS system and identify the necessary patches on top of your current PSU. The ETCC tool works on both the dbTier and the EBS appsTier. The output of the ETCC tool will also recommend a single patch bundle that you can download which will contain all of the necessary patches.
As always, you should download the current version of the tool as Patch 17537119. Rather than issuing a new patch with each update, here, they’re merely updating the same patch number, so always download the current one!
What’s new is that they’ve now produced a tool that does the same thing for the various Java installations in your EBS environment.
This new tool is the EBS Java Critical Patch Update Checker (EJCPUC)
Released along with the October 2024 CPU (and, I presume every quarter), the patch for this one is 37171025.
In order to use it, here’s what I do:
Extract the zip file:
mkdir EJCPUC
cd EJCPUC
unzip ${DL}/p37171025_R12_GENERIC.zip
chmod 750 *.shSet your environment and run the script:
./ejcpuc.shHere is a sample of the output from the appsTier of my lab environment:
