WLS 14.1.1.0.0Mar-20Note 2646853.1(a)

 

(a) WLS 14.1.1 is not planned to be an LTS or terminal 14.1.x release. Oracle currently plans to deliver a subsequent 14.1.x WLS version, which when released, will initiate the end of error correction on WLS 14.1.1 after a Grace Period per the Oracle Error Correction Policy. Customers wishing to deploy only on LTS or terminal releases should wait until a WLS 14.1.x LTS or terminal release is identified before deploying to WLS 14.1.x. WLS 12.2.1.4 is an LTS or terminal patch set release for such purposes.
