R12 and Mod-plsql…Not!

November 6, 2006 on 2:54 pm | by Floyd Teter | In Worth Noting | |

Two quick questions for you:

1) Are you considering a move to E-Business Suite Release 12?

2) Are you planning to migrate to R12 custom or 3rd-party “bolt on” applications from your current E-Business environment that utilize the mod_plsql cartridge?

If your answer to both these questions is “yes”, you have some important planning to do before moving to R12. Mod_plsql has been eliminated from the E-Business middleware as of R12. Running pl_sql on the middle tier will now take come creative advance planning.

I know that I have some serious planning to do on this issue. How about you?

LATE UPDATE: I’ve started to share this news with some developer-types where I work. The responses are generally unbelief and denial, even after I show written backup from OOW.

EVEN LATER UPDATE: On his own blog (and as Marion noted in a comment to this article), Steven Chan has reinforced the message: There will be no support for the use of mod_plsql in R12. You can read Steven’s thoughts and recommendations here.

  3. Hi Ray,

    The OOW presentation was Ivo Dujmovic’s “Deep Dive: Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 New Technology Stack” - Session ID S281383. Ivo mentioned it at least twice during his presentation - check the third bullet in slide #78 from the presentation slides to see it in writing.

  5. Ray,

    Before you start bumming too deeply, keep in mind that you can always integrate a separate Oracle AS instance with your E-Business environment and leverage mod_plsql in that manner. Yes, there is some additional licensing to consider, but it may be worthwhile if you’re a heavy mod_plsql user. I understand that we’ll be hearing information on integrating 10gAS with R12 shortly - watch Steven Chan’s blog for the release of that info.
