Secure Enterprise Search 10.1.8.4 Certified with E-Business Suite 11i
Secure Enterprise Search 10.1.8.4 was certified with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.0 earlier this year. Our Applications Technology Group has just released their certification of Secure Enterprise Search 10.1.8.4 with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i and 12.1.1.
Database Vault 11.1.0.7 Certified with Oracle E-Business Suite
Oracle DB Vault allows security administrators to protect a database from privileged account access to application data. Database objects can be placed in protected realms, which can be accessed only if a specific set of conditions are met.
Database Vault 10gR2 was certified last year with Oracle E-Business Suite. We're pleased to announce that the latest Database Vault 11gR1 Version 11.1.0.7 is now certified with E-Business Suite Release 11i and 12.
You can now enable Database Vault 11gR1 on your existing E-Business Suite 11.1.0.7 Database instance. If you already have DB Vault 10gR2 enabled in your E-Business Suite environment, you can now upgrade to the 11gR1 Database. We also support EBS patching with Database Vault 11.1.0.7 enabled. Our DB Vault realm creation and grants-related scripts have been revised to reduce patching downtimes.
Tablespace Encryption 11.1.0.7 Certified with EBS 12
Oracle Advanced Security is an optional licenced Oracle 11gR1 Database add-on. Oracle Advanced Security Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) offers two different features: column encryption and tablespace encryption. We certified the TDE column encryption feature with the E-Business Suite last year. We're pleased to expand our 11gR1 Database certification to include the tablespace encryption feature. This option was recently certified with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i, and now Tablespace Encryption 11.1.0.7 is certified with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.
What is Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) ?
Oracle Advanced Security Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) allows you to protect data at rest. TDE helps address privacy and PCI requirements by encrypting personally identifiable information (PII) such as Social Security numbers and credit card numbers.
TDE is completely transparent to existing applications with no triggers, views or other application changes required. Data is transparently encrypted when written to disk and transparently decrypted after an application user has successfully authenticated and passed all authorization checks. Authorization checks include verifying the user has the necessary select and update privileges on the application table and checking Database Vault, Label Security and Virtual Private Database enforcement policies.
Existing database backup routines will continue to work, with the data at rest remaining encrypted in the backup. For encryption of entire database backups, TDE can be used in combination with Oracle RMAN.
Applications Management and Change Management Packs Certified with Enterprise Manager Grid Control Release 5
Our E-Business Suite Applications Technology Group released a new product, the Application Change Management Pack (ACMP), and a new version of their Application Management Pack (AMP) for Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Release 4 earlier this month. They've just followed this up with a new certification with Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Release 5.

New Rapid Install StartCD (12.0.4.9) for Release 12 Now Available
Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 was released several weeks ago. We're pretty excited about this release and strongly encourage everyone evaluating R12 to consider 12.1.1.

Oracle Secure Enterprise Search (SES) 10.1.8.4 is now certified with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12. If you missed our late-2007 announcement about this certification, here's a recap of the basics. Secure Enterprise Search (SES) provides new search capabilities for R12: Apps users can search for E-Business Suite data using a unified search engine, with search results displayed based upon their Applications responsibilities. Searches can be performed on structured and unstructured data. Notably, search results respect multi-level security, including:
- Role-based access control (RBAC) functional and data security
- Product-specific security policies
Database 11gR1 Version 11.1.0.7 Certified with EBS 12
The Oracle 11gR1 Database version 11.1.0.7 was certified with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i last December. I'm pleased to announce that it's now certified with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12, too. 11.1.0.7 is the first database patchset available for the 11g Release 1 Database version 11.1.0.6.
For those of you planning to upgrade from Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i to 12, this means that the database releases for Apps are back in parity. You can upgrade directly to Apps R12. from whatever 11gR1 database release you might be running with your Apps 11i environment -- 11.1.0.6 or 11.1.0.7.
OracleAS 10.1.3.4 Certified on HP-UX Itanium for EBS 12
Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 runs OracleAS 10.1.2 for Forms-based content and OracleAS 10.1.3 (OC4J) for Java-based content. Each of these two components can be upgraded separately, so each has its own independent certification cycle. Just before New Years, we certified Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 with Oracle Application Server 10g 10.1.3.4 for a subset of our supported operating system platforms.
I'm pleased to let you know that HP-UX Itanium has been added to the list of supported platforms for OracleAS 10.1.3.4 (OC4J). You can upgrade to OracleAS 10.1.3.4 OC4J directly from OracleAS 10.1.3 or 10.1.3.3. This certification allows you to upgrade the OC4J components in your R12 techstack to get take advantage of the latest performance and stability improvements in this incremental patchset. To make sure that there's no misunderstanding about what can be upgraded, the full name of this patchset is:

Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.0 originally shipped with OracleAS 10.1.3 Oracle Containers for J2EE (OC4J) for running its Java-based content. Regular readers of this blog know that we certified OracleAS 10.1.3.3 with Apps 12 at the start of this year.
In a fitting end to the year, we've now certified Oracle Application Server 10g 10.1.3.4 OC4J with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12. You can upgrade to OracleAS 10.1.3.4 OC4J directly from OracleAS 10.1.3 or 10.1.3.3. This certification allows you to upgrade the OC4J components in your R12 techstack to get take advantage of the latest performance and stability improvements in this incremental patchset. To make sure that there's no misunderstanding about what can be upgraded, the full name of this patchset is:
It's important to note that either OracleAS 10.1.3.3 or 10.1.3.4 are mandatory prerequisites if you plan to upgrade your Release 12 application tier to the latest certified version of Java 6.
