Oracle Weblogic EOL versions

This question should be technically answered by Oracle Support, but their response time is slow. Hence, I ask you is there a version guide that mentions which versions of Oracle Weblogic are EOL with their dates?

http://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/lifetime-support-middleware-069163.pdf here lists the information, but is confusing when it comes to precise information.

For example,

Oracle Application Grid Releases

Release GA Date Premier Support Ends Extended

Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3 * Aug 2008 Jan 2014 Jan 2017

Oracle Cloud Application Foundation 11gR1 Releases

Oracle WebLogic Server 11g R1(10.3.1 and higher)* Jun 2009-Nov 2009 Dec 2018 Dec 2021

Why does this have to be so confusing?

Solution

  • That document seems relatively clear.

    • WLS 10.3.0.x support expires 2014(premier), 2017(extended)
    • WLS 10.3.1.x support expires 2018(premier), 2021(extended)
    • WLS 12.1.x support expires 2017(premier), 2019(extended)
    • WLS 12.2.x support expires 2020(premier) 2023(extended)

    After extended support expires, you will have access to sustaining support, which is basically "you can search the support database and download fixes that we already made" and not much more.
