In addition to helping customers resolve issues via Service Requests, Oracle Support also builds diagnostic tools for Oracle E-Business Suite. Here’s an index to all of these tools:

What do Support Analyzers do?

These Support Analyzers are non-invasive scripts that run health-checks on your EBS environments. They look for common issues and generate standardized reports summarizing that provide solutions for known issues and recommendations on best practices.

What areas do they cover?

There are over 60 different analyzers for EBS 11i, 12.0, 12.1, and 12.2. There are analyzers for the following product families:

  • E-Business Suite Core (Technology)
  • Financials
  • Manufacturing
  • Human Capital Management  
  • Customer Relationship Management  

Spotlight on Workflow Analyzer

If you haven’t tried any of these tools, I’d strongly recommend getting started with the Workflow Analyzer:

The Workflow Analyzer reviews Workflow configurations and compares them against Oracle’s best practices. The script reviews Workflow queues, runtime data, stuck activities, looping activities, and purging processes.

This tool can be run manually or configured to run as a concurrent request, so it can be scheduled to be run periodically and included in regular Workflow Maintenance cycles.

Can this script be run against Production?

Yes. There is no DML in the Workflow Analyzer Script (workflow_analyzer.sql), so it is safe to run against Production instances to get a current detailed overview of the Workflow environment for a specific instance. As always it is recommended to test all suggestions against a TEST instance before applying to Production.
