Which Release Should You Target?

Choose 12.2 if you:

Need the high availability provided by Online Patching

Want the functional enhancements that are in 12.2

Prefer to invest in a single project to upgrade directly to 12.2

Choose 12.1 if you:

Prefer to target a release with thousands of live customers

Would like to stay on 12.1 for 3-5 years before upgrading to 12.2

Need to move from a release below 11.5.10 with no direct upgrade to 12.2

Will Depend on Your Circumstances
