– Oracle Alta UI (only supported skin in 12.2.5 or later)

– Simplified Global Header

– HTML 5 standards uptake

– Dialog pages as modal dialogs

• Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 Upgrade Considerations for OA Framework-based Applications and Oracle CRM Technology Foundation (Doc ID 1927975.1)

– UI features and their potential upgrade considerations

EBS Smartphone Apps: Implementation StepsSimple Steps to Deploy and Use

1. Install server patches for mobile apps

2. Configure mobile apps on servera. Enable and configure mobile appb. Grant mobile app access role to responsibilitiesc. Complete additional steps as required by app

3. Complete steps for advanced configurations (as needed)May include: DMZ, Single Sign-On (SSO), Secured Server, Enterprise Distribution, Push Notifications

4. Communicate to users about appsa. Where to get appb. Which server URL to use for loginc. Where to get custom or self-signed certificate (as needed)

Apple App Store

Google Play

1. Download appsFrom app stores or your enterprise site as noted by administrator

2. Login to and use mobile appsa. Import custom or self-signed certificate for secured server (as needed)b. Enter server URL provided by administrator during first time loginc. Enter EBS username and passwordd. Configure app settings during first time use as needed (responsibility,

Mobile App Deployment Choices

• App distribution – Distribute via Apple App Store or Google Play

– Distribute via Enterprise distribution

• App functionality– Use Oracle’s out-of-the-box app

– Customize branding

– Build custom app

• Connectivity – Utilize VPN

– Configure E-Business Suite for DMZ

– Utilize EMM app tunneling

48


App Distribution Choices App Store Distribution

Users install apps directly from Apple App Store and/or Google Play Store and connect to E-Business Suite server

• Users get the latest version of apps released by Oracle by updating from the store directly

• Administrators should plan to upgrade to corresponding EBS server patches with each new mobile release in order to provide new features for the users

Distribution of mobile apps to users through an enterprise-controlled site rather than through the public app stores

• Allows version control of mobile apps deployed in the enterprise

• Enables Corporate Branding

• Functionality leverages Oracle 11g R2 Edition-Based Redefinition features to support online patching

• Patches can be applied while the production system is fully operational

• Only a short downtime is required to complete patching process

• The amount of downtime required by any patch will be consistent

• Remove obsolete objects

Cleanup

• Restart application on

• Compile invalid Objects

• Wait for a good downtime window

Finalize

• Apply one or more patches to the Patch Edition

Users Online Users OnlineUsers Offline

• Online Patching is used to apply all EBS patches in EBS 12.2• Online Patching cycle includes 5 major phases• New patching tool “adop” orchestrates the patching cycle

62


12.2 Development Standards for Custom Code

63

Decide Which Standards Compliance Level to Target

Minimal Full

• Optional, additional standards must be met for custom code to be Online Patchable

• Required, minimal set of standards must be met for custom code to run correctly on 12.2

• Decision is based on importance of minimizing downtime• In either case, EBS Patches are always applied online


Preparing Custom Code: Prior to 12.2 Upgrade Project

64

Run Reports and Apply Fixes Today to Avoid Rework at Upgrade Time

See Using the Online Patching Readiness Report in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 (Doc 1531121.1)

Get the reports patch for your current release (11.5.10, 12.0, 12.1)

Run reportson current release

Apply recommended fixes in test environments

Iterate until compliant

Deploy remediated code in production (optional)

Recommended fixes are backward compatible


Oracle EBS 12.2 AD and TXKStay Current with the Latest Release Update Packs (RUPs)

• AD and TXK are the infrastructure components that provide the 12.2 Online Patching technology

• Oracle strongly recommends that you apply the latest release update patches, consolidated patches and critical fixes for AD and TXK at your earliest convenience

• Latest RUPs available are AD Delta 10 Patch 25820806 and TXK Delta 10 Patch 25828573

EBS Database CertificationsWhat is Changing with Database 19c?

• EBS with Database 19c will be converted to the Container Database (CDB) Architecture

• The EBS 19c Database will consist of a Container Database (CDB) with a single Pluggable Database (PDB)

Root

19c Container Database

EBS PDB

Root

CDB


EBS Database Certifications

• Learn about differences in database administration with an Oracle Database with Multitenant (CDB/PDB) Architecture

–Take an Oracle Database Administration training course

–Read Oracle Database online documentation

–Create a sandbox environment (minimum requirement: Database 12cR1)

• Install an Oracle Database with Multitenant Architecture

• Use the sandbox environment to apply what you have learned

124

What You Can Do Now to Prepare for the Planned Certification with Database 19c



• UTL_FILE_DIR is an init.ora parameter currently used by EBS when products or custom code requires access to the filesystem to write output files or read input files

• UTL_FILE_DIR is desupported with Database 19c

• Oracle Database Directory Objects replace the use of UTL_FILE_DIR

• With the EBS database upgrade to Database 19c, an equivalent Directory Object will be created for each UTL_FIL_DIR entry

• Preexisting EBS product code and custom code will continue to function

125

What is Changing with Database 19c?



• Learn about Oracle Database Directory Objects

–Oracle Database Online Documentation Library, 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.2),

–Database SQL Language Reference, CREATE DIRECTORY

• When deploying new custom code, use Oracle Database Directory Objects in place of UTL_FILE_DIR

• When updating directory paths in existing custom code, convert to use Oracle Database Directory Objects
