New Whitepaper: Best Practices for Adopting E-Business Suite Release 12

A colleague has just pulled off an impressive feat that I wouldn't have attempted myself:  she's collected practical tips and advice on how to do Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 implementations and upgrades.  She's consolidated input from Oracle's Support, Consulting, IT, and Development groups into a new whitepaper:

This whitepaper is mandatory reading if you're planning -- or in the middle of -- an Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 deployment.  The whitepaper has a mix of concrete and strategic advice that covers topics such as:


Project Management
  • Scoping
  • Staffing and skills
  • Upgrade planning
  • Planning for Financials setups
  • Inventory of customizations
  • Migrating Reports to Business Intelligence Publisher
Pre- and Post-Upgrade Best Practices
  • Clearing interfaces and processing exceptions
  • Examining pending concurrent requests
  • Running key reports
  • Multi-Org Access Control (MOAC) considerations for concurrent programs
  • Testing strategies, including considerations for workflows and load testing
Product-Specific Considerations and Tips for:
  • Payables
  • Payments
  • Internet Expenses
  • Receivables
  • Advanced Collections
  • Assets
  • Advanced Global Intercompany System
  • General Ledger
  • Global Accounting Engine
  • Subledger Accounting
  • E-Business Suite Tax
One more notable thing about this whitepaper:  the author, Anne Carlson, intends it to be a "living document," updated with new tips and advice as more feedback comes in from your implementations.  If you have suggestions for additional tips, let me know and I'll pass them on to her.

R12 Upgrade Best Practice

Phanik:

Hi Steven,

From R12 best practice perspective can you please let me know how many instances are feasible in single node.

If it’s based on server configuration can i install 4 instances on one node with supported hardware?

Phani.K

Steven Chan:

Hi, Phani,

This is highly dependent on your hardware. I'd recommend working with your hardware vendor to get sizing estimates for your particular server configuration.

Good luck with your implementation.

Regards,
Steven
