Taking Our Own Medicine

Used the E-Business Suite since 2004

Upgraded to R12 in January 2009

Implemented OBIEE in January 2010

Oracle Fusion Applications Financials, FAH and HCM in March 2012

And we host our systems running Oracle VM

Oracle Database 11gR2 for EBS


At the application level make sure it has all the pre-requisites (Interoperability Notes EBS 12.0 and 12.1 with Database 11gR2 [ID 1058763.1]) Some libraries and kernel parameters at Operating Systems needs to be adjusted. Were Oracle Linux 5 update 8 (64bits). No extra steps needed for 11.2.0.2 (everything in the package) Reviewing the Run the Pre-Upgrade Information Tool did not bring any outstanding issue

Oracle Database 11gR2 for EBS


DB Upgrade took us about 4 hours (decompile and compile). Our DB was 500 Gb and server is Intel 2 quad cores and 6Gb RAM. Very hardware dependent.

Training? An Apps DBA can run it without problems guided by the existing documentation.
Functional Applications issues? None.

Oracle Database 11gR2


Honestly, we did the DB upgrade just to be on the latest release, but Well be researching on:
Automatic Block Repair, recovering a block on a standby DB without using RMAN FlashBack Data Archive, querying up for some specific tables/data that are being deleted. Scheduler enhancements, supports notifications by email. ASM enhancements, support for other file types and new commands (ASMCMD)

WebLogic Server Our experience


Oracle Business Intelligence EE Testing and Proof of concept for E-Business Suite for Oracle Access Manager

Fusion Applications: Financials and HCM


Discoverer 11g for EBS Vision

Skills and Learning Curve


The main difference is with the concept. New terminology: domain, servers, clusters, node manager, machine. Spend some time learning these concepts. For an experienced Apps DBA, it takes at least 4 weeks average to familiarize with WLS Installation for Discoverer, OBIEE and Oracle Access Manager was medium complexity (2 weeks each) Installation and configuration for Fusion Apps on-premise was a higher complexity (8 weeks on first installation)

Weblogic Server Impressions


For any FWM technology component, such as Discoverer 11g, OBIEE, WebCenter etcthe installation of Weblogic Server is an extra step to consider

Needs to understand new steps for start up and shutdown (takes longer than OC4J)
Administration of basic things is pretty similar to the OC4J, but on services it is very granular and advanced giving multiple options for the sysadmin

Takeaways
Explore multiple new features at DB 11gR2 that could enhance your EBS Weblogic Installation takes more time and training. Spend more time testing the installation. Get familiar with Weblogic new scripts and timing (start up and shut-down) Start exploring advanced Weblogic features

#6 Understand Edition Based Redefinition


Edition Based Redefinition
New features of the 11gR2 database Enables multiple copies of the same code object to co-exist

Editioned Objects ( Code Objects )


Database automatically manages versioning e.g pl/sql, views, synonyms etc.

Non-Editioned Objects ( Storage Objects )


Application layer makes these objects effectively editioned e.g tables, indexes, materialized views etc.

#7 Understanding the Enablement Process

52

Copyright 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

#7 Understanding the Enablement Process


Schemas in the database are converted to be editions enabled
Turns on object versioning in the database Once a schema is editions enabled it cannot be reverted

Introduces a new view of the EBS data model


A logical rather than physical representation of the data model is

presented
Changes the way many objects are defined and patched New standards must be followed Customers should fully review the new standards

3rd Party Code

WF_ITEMS (Synonym)

#10 Consider New Operational Characteristics

64

Copyright 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

#10 Consider New Operational Characteristics


Downtime windows are now measured in minutes
What operations other than applying patches do you perform? Can these operations be performed while the E-Business Suite is online? Example: Taking backups (pre-patching, during-patching or post-patching)

65

Copyright 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

#10 Consider New Operational Characteristics


Handling Customizations
Train the development team
Review the new coding standards, for example: Cross Edition Triggers replace data upgrade scripts Table names must be less than 29 characters Review the new deployment standards, for example: Custom files must be applied to the Patch file system Custom files must be registered with the custom driver
