VCP 12.2.3 is only supported with the following ERP versions: EBS 12.2.3, EBS 12.1.3, and E1 9.1. In the event that the EBS source instance is on 12.2.x, then both the EBS source instance and VCP destination instance must be on matching release version (for example, 12.2.3).

Demand Planning
This section is meant for existing Oracle Demand Planning (ODP) customers who are upgrading to 12.2.

Back up the file $FND_TOP/admin/template/security2_conf_FMW.tmp.
Edit $FND_TOP/admin/template/security2_conf_FMW.tmp and uncomment the line:
#SecRule REQUEST_FILENAME "!^/oa_html/oowa/aw92/" chain
to
SecRule REQUEST_FILENAME "!^/oa_html/oowa/aw92/" chain
