The E-Business Suite has its own security and user-management capabilities. You can use the E-Business Suite's native features to authenticate users, authorize users (i.e. assign responsibilities to them), and manage your EBS user repository. The majority of E-Business Suite system administrators simply use these built-in capabilities for enabling access to the E-Business Suite. When EBS built-in capabilities aren't enough Some organisations have third-party...

One of our senior Oracle Support engineers recently asked, "What's the best strategy for applying patches to E-Business Suite environments?" Applying updates and patches is such a major part of an Apps DBA's responsibilities that I assumed that this was already covered in our existing documentation. In looking through our systems administration guides, I was surprised to find that this isn't discussed anywhere. Here's a general best practices patching strategy for all EBS...

Earlier this year we released a reporting tool that reports on the differences in E-Business Suite database objects between one release and another. That's a very useful reference, but EBS defaults are delivered as seed data within the database objects themselves. What about the differences in this seed data between one release and another? I'm pleased to announce the availability of a new tool that provides comparison reports of E-Business Suite seed data between EBS...

[Sep. 20, 2013 Update: EBS 12.2 is now available for download. See this article for details.] The cat is out of the bag now. Many readers noticed references to Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2 in last week's update of our regularly-published technology stack roadmap. OAUG/Collaborate attendees got glimpses of this release a couple of months ago, but we've been keeping it relatively low-key on this upcoming release. There are lots of updates coming in this release, but from...

We certify over 150 new combinations and versions of Oracle products with the E-Business Suite a year -- and that's before you factor in our forty or so platform-based combinations. We also update our certification plans and roadmap as new third-party products like Microsoft Office 2010 and Firefox are announced or released. Complicating matters further, various Oracle products leave Premier Support or are superceded by more-recent versions. This constant state of change...

Oracle E-Business Suite developers use a special build of Oracle JDeveloper. This build contains the correct Oracle Application Framework (OA Framework or OAF) libraries corresponding to a specific version of Oracle E-Business Suite (specifically, to an ATG patch level). For customers and developers who are building OA Framework components and extensions to Oracle E-Business Suite, one of the first questions is "How do I find the right version of JDeveloper?" Oracle makes...
