Database 19c certified with EBS 12.2

Wanted to make a quick post that Oracle Database 19c is now certified with EBS 12.2:

There are some caveats that go with this.  For example utl_file_dir has been desuported with 19c, so there is a process to move to use database directories instead.  You will also have to move to a CDB (container database) architecture with a single PDB (pluggable database).  There are also some related certifications that are still pending (e.g. Data Guard).  If you've been waiting for this certification to come out I'd give the post a read to understand what this means to you and start planning your upgrade path.
