• Functionality leverages Oracle 11g R2
Edition-Based Redefinition features to
support online patching
• Patches can be applied while the
production system is fully operational
• Only a short downtime is required to
complete patching process
• The amount of downtime required by any
patch will be consistent

Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2 Architecture
Edition-Based Redefinition
51
• Efficiently stores multiple editions of application
definitions in the same database
• Provides an isolation mechanism (“Edition”) that
allows pre-upgrade and post-upgrade schemas
to co-exist
• Client code chooses the particular “Edition” that
it wants to connect to Edition-Based

• Optional, additional standards
must be met for custom code to
be Online Patchable
• Required, minimal set of
standards must be met for custom
code to run correctly on 12.2
• Decision is based on importance of minimizing downtime
• In either case, EBS Patches are always applied online

• “Compute” Cloud Service
– Multi-Tenant: Shared Compute Zone
– OCPUs: 50 and 100 Cores
– Some Isolation via Resource Management across Tenants but noisy
neighbors can impact others
– Ideal for Departmental Workloads, Test-Dev, and Smaller ISVs who
are testing on Compute
– No VPN
• “Dedicated Compute” Cloud Service
– Single Tenant: Completely Dedicated Compute Zone per tenant
– OCPUs: 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 Cores
– Predictable Performance
– Complete Network Isolation
– Site to Site VPN

Things You Can Do Today to Prepare
97

Sysadmins are already familiar with WebLogic Server IF using these:
Get Familiar with WebLogic Server 11g
Technology Release 11i Release 12
Oracle Access Manager 10gR1, 11gR1 11gR1
Oracle Internet Directory 11gR1 11gR1
WebCenter 11gR1
Portal 11gR1 11gR1

Oracle SOA Suite 11gR1 11gR1
Enterprise Manager 11gR1, 12cR2 11gR1, 12cR2
98

Plan for Related Systems Changes
• A good time to change OS platform is at an EBS upgrade
• 12.2 is certified only on 64-bit operating systems
• 12.1 is certified on both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems
– Increasingly, modern hardware doesn’t come with 32-bit OOTB
• See “Oracle E-Business Suite Upgrades and Platform Migration”
(1377213.1)
If Currently on 32-bit OS, Upgrade to 64-bit OS
99

Plan for Related System Changes
• 11i, 12.1.3, and 12.2 are certified for 11gR2
• EBS 12.2 requires database 11gR2 or later
• Apply latest certified patch set (e.g. 11.2.0.4 or 12.1.0.2) plus additional
prerequisite patches
• See Database Preparation Guidelines for Release 12.1 Upgrade (761570.1)
• See Database Preparation Guidelines for Release 12.2 Upgrade (1349240.1)
Upgrade to Database 11gR2 Before or During Your EBS Project
100

Plan for Related System Changes
• Switch from Oracle Single Sign-On to Oracle Access Manager 11gR2
– 12.2 is certified only with Oracle Access Manager 11g
– OAM 11gR2 (11.1.2) is certified for 11i and 12.0/12.1.3
– See: “Overview of Single Sign-On Integration Options for Oracle E-Business Suite”
(1388152.1)
• Switch from Oracle Portal to Oracle WebCenter Portal
– 12.2 is certified only with Oracle WebCenter Portal
– Oracle WebCenter Portal 11gR2 (11.1.1.6) is certified for 12.0/12.1.3
Switch these External Services (Required for 12.2)
101

Consider New Operational Characteristics
• Downtime windows are now measured in minutes
– What operations besides patching do you perform during downtime?
– Can these operations be performed while the E-Business Suite is online?
• New development standards for online patching compliance
– New utilities to help identify and correct compliance issues
– Advice on how to fix objects that are not compliant
• Patches still need to be tested on a test system
– Patch Edition is not a test environment
– Users cannot connect to the Patch Edition
All Patches Delivered Post-12.2 are Online Patches
