Oracle E-Business Suite and 12cR1 database in Extended support - What to do?
![](https://www.pythian.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/mos_download_msg.png)
If you are one of the folks who have already upgraded the production E-Business Suite database to 19c Certified, then you are a superhero and this post is not for you. The majority of us are still running the good old 12.1.0.2 database release. Premier support for 12cR1 Database ended in July 2018, with a free extended support waiver until July 2019. For E-Business Suite customers, having 12cR2 and 18c certification skipped and 19c certification just released a few months back, the free waiver got extended several times, and now it's set until December 2020. Oracle has just released October 2019 critical patch updates. And the significant surprise now is that we can't access any 12.1.0.2 database release related to PSUs or ProactiveBP. We only see a beautiful "you do not have privileges to download Software Extended Support patches" message in My Oracle Support patch download page. Password protected patches are history now. Let's meet the new control mechanism in My Oracle Support by Oracle.
