Resolution
What's the difference between ESP r12 INC (incremental release) and r12.0.00 (complete release)?
The ESP r12.0.00 complete release contains more fixes and enhancements. It also contains fixes with level set. A level set PTF will include the installation of fixes and new features up to the time that the level set PTF was published:
SO13403/SO13384: level set PTF for ESP base
SO13385: level set PTF for ESP Encore
SO13386: level set PTF for ESP SERVICE GOVERNOR
SO13387: level set PTF for ESP HIGH AVAILABILITY
The intent of the level set object is to give the users an easy way to get the product up with a defined level of maintenance.
