oracle e-business suite DOWNGRADE

Affected: 12.2

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 12.2

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy e-business-suite || rpm -q e-business-suite || e-business-suite --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 12.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison e-business-suite sudo apt install e-business-suite=<VERSION_BEFORE_12.2> sudo apt-mark hold e-business-suite

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list e-business-suite sudo dnf downgrade e-business-suite-<VERSION_BEFORE_12.2> sudo dnf versionlock add e-business-suite

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
