Most Oracle Applications DBAs and E-Business Suite users understand the importance of accurate database statistics. Missing, stale or skewed statistics can adversely affect performance. Oracle E-Business Suite statistics should only be gathered using FND_STATS or the Gather Statistics concurrent request. Gathering statistics with DBMS_STATS or the desupported ANALYZE command may result in suboptimal executions plans for E-Business Suite. Our E-Business Suite Performance...

Congratulations -- you're running EBS 12.1.1 or 12.1.2 in production. Our standing recommendation is to apply the EBS 12.1.3 suite-wide Release Update Pack (RUP), despite the relaxed requirements in the recent changes to our Error Correction Support Policy. If you can't apply the suite-wide 12.1.3 Release Update Pack, you should apply the individual 12.1.3 Family Packs for the EBS products that you've deployed. Here's our best-kept secret: this will change your environment...

I am pleased to announce a new video tutorial on defining table-validated Lists of Values using the Oracle Web Application Desktop Integrator (Web ADI). One of the common requirements for List of Values in a Web Application Desktop Integrator spreadsheet is to display user-friendly values in a desktop-based spreadsheet but upload a corresponding identifier or code to the E-Business Suite. You can learn how to do this in this new tutorial. Using the List of Values component...

The E-Business Suite's three-tier architecture consists of application tier services such as Web Application Services (oacore, oafm, Forms), Web Entry Point Services, Batch Processing Services, Root Services and database tier processes and data. A node represents a physical server with a set of processes. When application and database processes are distributed across multiple servers, it is called a multi-node installation. Generally, a hardware load-balancer is used to...

This FAQ topic continues to bounce around, suggesting that this needs to be called out explicitly: EBS concurrent managers do not need to be installed on database servers any more. Nick Quarmby correctly noted this as one of five common mistakes that customers make when installed the E-Business Suite: COMMON ERROR #2: Placing concurrent processing services and the database tier on the same node to improve performance. ORACLE’S RECOMMENDATION: There is no significant...

There are two main ways to implement security in Oracle E-Business Suite: “traditional” Oracle E-Business Suite responsibility-based security (usually referred to as “function security”) and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Since they overlap in functionality, and RBAC incorporates and builds upon responsibility-based security, there is often confusion about how the two security models coexist and interact. I am pleased to announce the availability of a new whitepaper to...

Most security administrators know how to use E-Business Suite responsibilities to manage access to data and functionality. The majority of EBS customers will never need anything beyond those standard capabilities. Some organisations may need specialised security to complement the EBS responsibility model. Oracle Label Security may appropriate for certain specialised requirements. Oracle Label Security allows administrators to classify every row in a table, ensuring that...
