R 12.2: What is ETCC Tool?
ETCC Tool Enhanced for Finding Mandatory EBS 12.2 Patches
The E-Business Suite Technology Codelevel Checker (ETCC) tool has been provided to help you identify missing database or middle tier patches that may need to be applied to your E-Business Suite Release 12.2 system.
The utility has now been significantly enhanced to map bug fixes to patches, generating a Patch Recommendation Summary that lists the patches (including versions and associated filenames) that are required for your system.
The following example shows part of an ETCC run, where the DB-ETCC script is used to identify missing database patches.
DB-ETCC Example
Why Does This Matter?
As the last section of the above example shows, there is a difference between bug fixes and patches. A bug fix ID for an issue does not change, but the patch ID that delivers the fix might: for example, the original patch could be superseded by another patch. So you need to not only know what bug fix you require, but which patch currently delivers it.
With previous versions of ETCC, the relevant patches (including Patch Set Updates and Exadata patches) had to be identified manually, by referring to the relevant documentation. In this latest version, bug fix to patch mapping is done for you, avoiding the need for manual identification and the risk of misidentifying the patch needed. That is the principal enhancement in this version of ETCC.
Coverage
This new version of ETCC maps missing bug fixes to corresponding patches for the latest and latest but one quarterly bundles supported by EBS 12.2. You can use this version of ETCC with older bundles, but it will only list missing bug fixes (as previous versions did), and you will see a message saying "Patch mapping not available".
Obtaining ETCC
The ETCC utility can be downloaded via Patch 17537119 from My Oracle Support.
