All EBS administrators must become very familiar with the OPatch utility. OPatch is used to patch the ORACLE_HOMEs in EBS Application and Database tiers. Security fixes delivered for these ORACLE_HOMEs through Critical Patch Updates are also applied using OPatch. It updates the central and per-product inventories with the details of each patch applied. Apart from the Oracle Universal Installer (which internally also uses OPatch), this is the only tool authorized to...

Experienced Apps DBAs know that there are often compelling reasons to tweak the E-Business Suite's database initialization parameters from the defaults. The master source-of-truth for whether certain parameter settings will help or hurt your EBS environment performance is published here: Database Initialization Parameters for Oracle Applications Release 11i (Note 216205.1) Our EBS database architects have just released an updated version of that Note. Recent updates over...

Oracle DB Vault allows security administrators to protect a database from privileged account access to application data.

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...

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.

For reasons mysterious to me, world governments apparently like to change their timezones on a regular basis. If your E-Business Suite Release 11i or 12 environment has been configured to support Daylight Saving Time (DST) or international time zones, it's important that you keep your timezone definition files up-to-date. They were last changed in February 2009, and they've been updated once again: DSTv11 is now available and certified with the E-Business Suite. Is Your...

[Jul 6, 2009 Update: Database version for 12.0.4 Rapid install was 10.2.0.3, not 10.2.0.4. Table corrected now. A reader recently asked where she could find a summary of the E-Business Suite Release 12 technology stack components for different R12 releases. As it turns out, there's a long answer to this deceptively-simple question. This level of information is spread in a variety of release-specific Notes, making it tricky to compare which components were delivered as part...
