There are two supported methods for doing this: Export the data from the database on the old platform, create a new database on the new platform, and import the data into the new database. Use the Transportable Database feature You can expect a 50% or greater reduction in the time it takes to complete a platform migration using Transportable...

The final security update for Firefox 2 was released in December, 2008; Mozilla recommends that all Firefox 2 users upgrade to Firefox 3.x. We certified Firefox 3.0 with Oracle E-Business Suite in February, 2009. Since then, the Mozilla team has released several updates on the Firefox 3.5 line. I'm very pleased to announce that Firefox 3.5 is now certified with the E-Business Suite. If you've already applied all of the prerequisites required for Firefox 3.0, you'll be...

[Sept 24, 2009 Update: Removed references to the Oracle Critical Accounts program.] Some E-Business Suite implementations go smoothly. Some don't. Even battle-scarred veteran Apps sysadmins have to call upon Oracle for help at some point. One of the most-surprising things I hear from customers is that many of you don't know what options exist for you to get help when you need it. Depending on your circumstances, there's a wide range of alternatives that may work for your...

[Oct 4, 2010 Update: Since this article was published last year, there have been several updates to the patches list for the respective Oracle Homes (10.1.2, 10.1.3 and 11.1.0.7) based on customer issues and internal testing. The Rapid Install content for those Oracle Homes has not been updated with the same updates. Hence, the patches delivered by the EBS 12.1.1 Rapid Install will not be the latest baselines available for those technology stack components. If you use this...

Sometimes our release processes get ahead of our internal infrastructure. This happened when we released Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1. We discovered post hoc that it was not possible to distinguish between patches intended for Apps 12.1 and those intended for Apps 12.0 in the "Patches & Updates" function in My Oracle Support and Metalink. Whoops -- clearly suboptimal. This issue was resolved in mid-July, when the Patches & Updates function got a brand-new...

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...
