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...

I'm pleased to announce the availability of a new whitepaper: Extending Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 using Oracle Application Express (APEX) (Note 1306563.1) It's possible to personalize the E-Business Suite, but there may be situations where personalizations aren't sufficient to meet your requirements. In these scenarios, Oracle Application Express, also known as Oracle APEX, is an option for creating supplemental applications that can be integrated with your Oracle...

Guest Author: Sara Woodhull Personalizations are -- and have always been -- one of the safest and most upgradable ways to "customize" your Oracle E-Business Suite screens, both for Oracle Forms-based screens and for Oracle Application Framework-based pages. However, the upgrade from Release 11i to Release 12.1 spans many years of EBS evolution, during which time Oracle has actively been building many new features and modules. A lot has changed in Oracle E-Business Suite that...

[Editor's Note: Weighing in at over 3,100 words, Nick Quarmby's treatise below is more of a whitepaper-in-disguise than our traditionally-short blog articles. This article is worth your time, though. In my experience, shortchanging testing simply translates to longer upgrade times downstream. With EBS 11i now in Extended Support, everyone still on that release should already have their R12 planning underway. Nick's insights and tips are worth careful consideration by...

I think that all E-Business Suite DBAs know that they need to apply a number of interoperability patches when upgrading from one database release to another. These are documented in our Interoperability Upgrade Notes for a given EBS + database combination. For example, if you're upgrading Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 to the latest 11gR2 11.2.0.2 database, you'd apply the patches listed here: Interoperability Notes - Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 with Oracle...
