Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) is a cluster database with a shared cache architecture that supports the transparent deployment of a single database across a pool of servers. RAC is certified with both Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i and 12. We publish best-practices documentation for specific combinations of EBS + RAC versions. For example, if you were planning on implementing RAC for EBS 12, you would use this documentation: Using Oracle 11g Release 2 Real...

Last month we discussed the two interlocking support policies that affect E-Business Suite users: Oracle's Lifetime Support Policy Specifies support dates for major EBS release codelines (e.g. EBS 11.5.10.2, 12.0, 12.1) -- and by implication, the latest EBS patchset for a given codeline. The Lifetime Support Policy presents support definitions and dates for three different levels of support: Premier, Extended, and Sustaining. E-Business Suite Error Correction Support...

The access protocol for the Automated Release Update (ARU) system has changed. Older versions of the Oracle E-Business Suite Patch Wizard and Patch Manager (part of the Application Change Management Pack for Oracle E-Business Suite) will generate errors when attempting to access E-Business Suite patches. If you use these tools as part of your E-Business Suite patching procedures, you will need to obtain new versions to ensure continued access to ARU. You can find links to...

Guest Author: Ivo Dujmovic For those of you with travel budgets, this might be a repeat of an item mentioned in my OpenWorld presentation this year, but I think it worth while sharing with our readers here. The results of our first benchmarking efforts of E-Business Suite on Oracle VM indicate that the virtualization overhead peaks are around 2-3%. In other words, most of the time the virtualization overhead is not measurable, and at peak overhead times, it is negligible. ...

We use Java Archive (JAR) files to deliver certain types of E-Business Suite content to end-user desktop clients. JAR files can be digitally signed for increased security. Oracle E-Business Suite uses a self-signed certificate to sign the JAR files that are downloaded to the client PC when launching forms and other applets (such as Workflow Status Diagram or Account Hierarchy Manager). By default, E-Business Suite JAR files are signed with 1024-bit self-signed digital...

Patching is a perennially hot-topic for E-Business Suite system administrators. For those of you still running Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i, patching is especially important as we near the transition between Premier and Extended Support at the end of November 2010. If you're new to EBS system administration, and even if you're a veteran DBA, you might find two new short training videos useful: Patch Wizard Overview Videos (Doc ID 1077813.1) These two videos were...
