I'm a little disappointed, we sometimes see these combos and none of the patches in that eBS bundle seem to address them:

ORA 600 [12224]

ORA-12012, ORA-23404, ORA-06512
ORA-12012, ORA-23404, ORA-06512 ORA-12018 ORA-00913
ORA-12012 ORA-23401 ORA-06512 ORA-12034
ORA-12012 ORA-12018 ORA-00913 ORA-06512

oh well.

Sometimes I wish I could work with Financials etc. but right now for me FR FM11g and FR FM12c are a headache to set up and maintain, the documentation is practically useless, including the installation manuals.

The database seems easy by comparison now, very different from the old OWS 3.0.1.1 days when the database was the more complicated one.
