Hi Erman!
Its me again :)
You know I am very frustrated with oracle .. :) Lets be honest, we are all sometimes :)

As you know we  upgraded from 12.1.3 to 12.2.6
So to be proactive put  the remaining patches  that are reccomended by Oracle.

Created Patch wizard filter for recommended and new code line  patches in EBS:
Got the newest InstalledBundle  and run offline with that stage directory
Applied ALL those.

And now TODAY we got a problem in AR and Support says apply 22961500:R12.AR.C
Why - in earth - it was not reccomended ?!!!
How do I assure that we have all patches installed in EBS  just to make sure we step again and again on new patches..

The patch wizard is the reccomended way, BUT why its not THEN reccomended that patch ?
So, do oracle also differentiate for reccomended and just simple ones, just in case - as this 22961500 ?
How do you get those, only like that with testing-patching-againtesting...
If this is the case, its not good way from oracle to make customers happy :)

Any thoughts :) Thanks for reading :)
