ATG RUP 7 for E-Business Release 11i coming soon

The last major update to the E-Business Suite Release 11i's technology stack was released in late 2007. This is available via the Applications Technology Group Rollup Patchset 6, also known as ATG RUP 6.

ATG RUP 7 will deliver a consolidated set of the latest security, stability, and performance fixes for all E-Business Suite technology stack components. Here's a quick update on where we stand in the development cycle for this new patchset.ATG RUP 7 has just completed its development phase and is now in the formal testing phase for all E-Business Suite products. Centralized divisional testing is underway now. This is going smoothly. We're going through the usual process of ironing out the inevitable issues that occur when such fundamental changes are made to the foundation of the E-Business Suite.It's expected that we will go through multiple interim builds of ATG RUP 7. Each iterative test cycle requires product teams to retest to ensure that existing known issues are fixed, new features function as designed, and no new bugs (regressions) have been introduced.

What Does This Have to do with ATG RUP 7?When the upcoming Apps 11i ATG RUP 7 is released, it will be supported along with ATG RUP 6. In other words, if you encounter any issues with ATG RUP 6 or 7, we'll be able to release new E-Business Suite patches for those configurations as necessary.If your Apps 11i environment is on ATG RUP 5, you will no longer be able to request new patches for that technology stack level. If your environment is running ATG RUP 4 or earlier, you already know that you haven't been able to request new patches for those older rollup patchsets.
