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:

These two videos were produced by Oracle Support.  The first provides a great introduction and review of EBS Patch Wizard basics in just over nine minutes.  The second provides a three-minute demonstration of the new capabilities for reporting on the minimum baseline patch requirements required to be eligible for 11i Extended Support. 

What’s notable about both of these videos is that they actually show you the Patch Wizard in action, and they’re really short and sweet.  Highly recommended.
