The takeout from last ATG Live Webcast June 14 was ‘no more downtime’ in Oracle EBS R12.2 for patching and transformation of term ‘Downtime’ to ‘Cut Over’. In R12.2 downtime will be measured in minutes not hours or days. It is a customary thought process to wait for suitable time when to apply new patch, how to get approval for business applications downtime and usually you will get a slot on weekend nights.

Let’s review how we will be going to get possibility of ‘no more downtime’ in R12.2.  we all know EBS downtime is a major concern and this outages interfere with core business activity:

–      Reluctance to upgrade to take advantage of new feature

–      Barrier to staying current with recommended patches

Now let’s understand commonly what force us to go for production down time; 1-Major Release upgrades, 2-Maintenance Rollups (RUPs), 3-Critical Patch Updates (CPUs). 4-Legislative and Regulatory updates

EBS will remain online during patching through Online Patching; refer earlier post to get basic idea. In 12.2 all patching operations are online so its mean – EBS will remain available to users during patching operations, – HR Legislative updates can be applied during a payroll run & Users can enter expense reports while Payables is being patched

Online patching will use the latest features of Oracle’s Integrated Stack like – Edition Based Redefinition (EBR) & – Web Logic Server

Patches will be applied to a Copy of Production

EBS will use both the file system and the database to store the code and data that make up the application – Copy the Code, NOT the Data

–      Where is Code

• Stored both on the File system & In the Database
• Any code object changed in a patch is copied

–      Where is Data

• Stored both on the File system & In the Database
• Application data is NOT copied by a patch

“Downtime” will be redefined as “Cutover”. Cutover is the time taken to switch users from the production system to the newly patched copy.

-Cutover changes the unit of measure for downtime & will be measured in minutes NOT hours or days.

-Cutover time is very predictable & the time taken to bounce the Middle Tiers

Downtime Limited to Short Cutover

Patching Occurs on a Copy of following:

File system: a-All patches are applied to the secondary file system b-Synchronization of the file systems is managed by the patching tools

Database: A separate copy is maintained of all database code objects that are changed by a patch

Downtime Patches

–      No online Users

–      Wall clock time very important

–      Consumes all resources

–      Upgrade designed to run as fast as possible

Online Patches

–      Users remain online

–      Wall clock time is no longer an overriding concern

–      Online Users share resources

–      Data upgrades designed to not affect the running application

In 12.1.3 Single File System – Patches applied while system is down & another method is Optional staged APPL_TOP

–      Patches applied to staged file system while the system is online

–      System is off line to apply database updates

–      Staged APPL_TOP provided the basis for the 12.2 design

You can refer My Oracle Support note for further details (Using a Staged Applications System (APPL_TOP) to Reduce Patching Downtime in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 [ID 734025.1])

EBS 12.2 will be installed with 3 file systems

–      FS-1 (Production file system)  – Used by the current users of the system

–      FS-2 (Copy of Production file system) – Used by the patching tools

–      FS-NE (Non Editioned file system) – Stores data that is stored on the file system (Data import and export files, Report output & Log files)

All three file systems serve a single database. The file system in use by the running application is never patched. All patches are applied to secondary file system

Edition-Based Redefinition (EBR) 11g R2

What it will do?

Enables the online upgrade of the database tier and allows an application to efficiently store multiple copies of its application definition in the same database. It will also provide an isolation mechanism that allows pre-upgrade and post-upgrade schemas to co-exist.

–      Changes to database objects are made in the isolation of an “Edition”

–      Changes to database objects do not effect the running Application

You can also refer earlier post to get more info about Edition Based Redefinition.

What is Database Editions?

Our code chooses The Edition that it connects to, if it will connect to Run Edition (1-Used by Online Users, 2-Never changed by a Patch). Patch Edition (1-Used by the Patching Tools 2-Changes do no affect the running Application)

Online Patching will Interacts with 3 different Edition Types

Run Edition

–      The edition currently in use by the running application

–      This is always the default database edition

Patch Edition

–      The edition currently in use by the patching tools

–      This edition is only present when patching is in progress

–      Always the direct child of the Run Edition.

Old Edition(s)

–      There maybe zero or more Old Editions

–      When the Patch Edition is promoted to production the previous Run Edition is now regarded as an Old Edition

–      Only retained until a full cleanup operation is run

A Journey from Oracle E-Business Suite R12.1 to R12.2

Online Patching

One of the hot topic during Collaborate 12 at Las Vegas along with Fusion was what is going to come in R12.2 and this post is subsequent to my earlier post…where we have reviewed what new release will bring to us, lots of new features, usability improvements and new technology stack components (Oracle Database 11g R2 and Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g R1 as the application server) and the most important feature will be online patching so finally what we are going to get as ……planned for R.12.2 – all patching operations will be online, Oracle E-Business Suite will remain available to business users during patching processes.

The online patching will be changing the game completely. We all know that E-Business Suite environments requires downtime for patching. Although based on our experience it can be reduced with various techniques (e.g. staged APPL_TOP), some downtime is still required to apply a number of patches. Online patching will not eliminate downtime completely, but will reduce it significantly by using “Edition Based Redefinition” feature of 11g.

So what we will be getting just to summarize:

• Business Operations Downtime will be measured in minutes not hours or days
• Business Operations Downtime windows will be very predictable
• Patches will be applied while the Oracle Production Application remains online

11gR2 Edition-Based Redefinition will enable us following:

• Allows an application to efficiently store multiple editions of its Application Definition in the same database
• Provides an isolation mechanism (The Edition) that allows pre-upgrade and post-upgrade schemas to co-exist
• Client code chooses the particular “Edition” that it wants to connect to

Dual File System for R.12.2

Collaborate 12 April 22-26 has concluded & overall, I really enjoyed the event, this was first time I joined Collaborate such a big event and in the city of Las Vegas….all set was stunning experiences. I will start off with a big thanks to all the organizers from OAUG , IOUG and Quest , with a special mention for OAUG who made sure I found the right accommodations, a good reception and oracle sessions and networking with the right folks.

 

The conference was arranged in Mandalay Bay, Convention Center, Las Vegas, it was a good venue having good

environment with ample space for breakout sessions and a praiseworthy to see Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay. OAUG Attendee Welcome Reception was arranged in Shark Reef Aquarium on Sunday evening .

The conference kicked off with a keynote from Captain Mark Kelly, Commander of the Space Shuttle Endeavour’s Final Mission on Leadership, Teamwork and Courage. It was good to listen non-oracle keynote, no tech mumbo jumbo and Captain presented his personal challenge of his life, which he faced when an assassination attempt was made on his wife, former Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. His dedication to family and his wife’s road to recovery would captivate Mark Kelly. He expressed to all conference audiences how to accomplish their mission while maintaining the love and devotion to family that is the foundation of true success. Overall it was a great motivational speech.

The 2^nd day (Monday 23^rd Apr) of conference kicked off with a keynote from Oracle CIO & SVP Mark Sunday on “IT at Oracle: The Art of IT Transformation to Enable Business Growth.” His presentation stressed the importance of simplifying IT and how Oracle is implementing different parts of engineered system as a customer of Oracle Products. It was good to listen about all modules of e-business suite, databases and how they are managing the data centers. The rest of the session topics reflected Collaborate’s mixed nature as a melting pot of three different user groups (OAUG, IOUG and Quest). I have attended number of sessions from a big number of speakers on the agenda, who showed off a wide variety of expertise with specific sessions. Over all conference was heavily based on Fusion focused sessions with E-business suite R-12 to upgrade and lot of Oracle strategy/roadmap sessions.

During the evening there was a Welcome Reception in the Exhibitor Showcase area at 6pm, a large number of companies joined Collaborate to showcase their products and number of booths were having lot of fun activities, THEgame, Relaxation Lounge, OAUG Tattoo Parlour and many more….

On Wednesday Apr 25, there was a BACK TO 80s PARTY, a performance by The Spazmatics, with all the awesome sounds, styles and radical dance steps from the 1980s, The Spazmatics recapture all the best and the worst of the decade for an evening of pure energy and entertainment.

It was a great week with lot of fun, learning & networking with peer folks, and thanks to everyone for making Collaborate 12 a boundless event for me.

All in short, Collaborate 12 was a great show with a massive agenda and attendees eager to learn about the latest solutions in the Oracle technology, number of parallel sessions were good and there was a point to which session will be attended and which one we can miss out…. muddled

In the end, to rest my voice…… feels free to share thoughts on the conference?

 

Finally we have reached to a week of Majlis 16^th & 17^th Apr planned as a 1^st under the MEOUG name. There were lots of preparations throughout last 40-50 days to make this event as successful, finalization of agenda, getting ready with the speakers, venue finalization, communication plan, event plan etc etc……. in short it was a very good event organized by local volunteers. MEOUG Majlis was organized on in Hotel Westin, Dubai, almost 250+ attendees register for an exciting 2 days conference. Senior executives from 8 different middle east countries joined and Oracle road-map, shared by Cliff Godwin (Oracle Senior Vice President) and Nadia Bendjedou (Senior Director).

There were number of end users presentations and it was good to hear about different implementations approaches, challenges faced and the solutions implemented in different industry groups. Over all Oracle Fusion, EPM/BI and upgrade to R12 were the hot topics discussed.

On the end of day 1^st there was very well organized Networking Dinner at Amphitheatre in Hotel Westin with the delicious food and good program was organised during the event is ‘Voice of Oracle Users’. .. There were no Oracle representative during this session and different customers faced their challenges being faced in Oracle account management, support, consulting, presales and overall product related technology issues. Was to hear from users what they feel about oracle products.

In the end of 2^nd day, it was tiring but we all were very happy to arrange such an event based on Oracle users Community and there were surprise from Oracle Dubai team for us when they called MEOUG Board Members on stage to present certificates of appreciations…..isn’t surprise!!! It was 🙂 thank you guys…..

you want to become member of MEOUG, please join us on www.meoug.com and you’re welcome…..

A journey from Oracle E-Business Suite R12.1 to R12.2

What’s coming in the next major version of Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2?

I will try to analyze architectural overview of the latest updates, installation and upgrade options, new configuration options, and new tools for hot-cloning and automated “lights out” cloning in R-12.2

Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 Architecture

Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2 Architecture

Release 12.2 will replace Oracle Containers for Java (OC4J) 10g with WebLogic Server 11g

Release 12.2 Database tier will run RDBMS 11gR2 to support online patching

There will be number of updates coming in release R12.2, from a technology stack perspective, EBS 12.2 will be notable for two things:

1-Replacing Oracle Containers for Java (OC4J) 10g with WebLogic Server 11g

EBS 12.2 will use WebLogic Server from Fusion Middleware 11g in place of OC4J 10g as part of the release’s internal technology stack. Other additional new Fusion Middleware 11g components used will include WebLogic JSP and UIX 11g

2-Online Patching support via 11gR2 Edition-Based Redefinition

EBS 12.2 will use the 11gR2 Database’s Edition-Based Redefinition features to provide support for Online Patching. Edition-Based Redefinition is really exciting new technology. From the 11gR2 Application Developer’s Guide:

“Edition-based redefinition enables you to upgrade the database component of an application while it is in use, thereby minimizing or eliminating down time.

“To upgrade an application while it is in use, you copy the database objects that comprise the application and redefine the copied objects in isolation. Your changes do not affect users of the application—they continue to run the unchanged application. When you are sure that your changes are correct, you make the upgraded application available to all users.”

It is not released yet but It will include significant changes to the Application Server architecture, It will use RDBMS Version 11gR2 or higher, It will change Patching, Cloning, the User Experience

I will be describing the OUM Implement Core Workflow and its purpose, We should also be able to recognize that there are many different views to access the OUM Implement focus area method material.

OUM Focus Areas

These three focus areas provide frameworks for project and program management, enterprise level planning and project implementation.

The Manage focus area provides a framework in which all types of projects can be planned, estimated, controlled, and completed in a consistent manner.

The Manage focus area contains the material from the Project Management and Program Management methods – PJM and PGM.The fundamental responsibility of the project manager is to manage a project and agreed on level of quality while planning for and controlling the “triple constraints”  of scope, cost and schedule.

OUM’s Manage Focus Area is designed to support the project manager in fulfilling these responsibilities.  The Manage Focus Area works closely with the Envision and Implement focus areas by wrapping around the project.

The Envision focus area comprises the areas of the Oracle Unified Method framework that deal with development and maintenance of enterprise-level IT strategy, architecture, and governance.

The purpose of the Envision focus area are: (1)To provide a set of processes that can be adopted by an enterprise in order to better align IT delivery with Business strategy, (2) To provide a framework for development of services that support enterprise or strategic level interactions, (3) To provide the context for OUM based delivery services and connect those services to the larger IT lifecycle.

Envision extends OUM’s capabilities beyond delivery and management of software implementation projects into the realm of IT vision and strategy.  Envision is focused on information technology related business architecture and practices.

The Implement focus area provides a framework to develop and implement Oracle-based business solutions with precise development and rapid deployment.

The OUM Implement Focus Area is to be applied to IT projects and documents the project execution processes.

The OUM implementation architecture provides a rapid, adaptive, and business-focused, approach to Implementation.

This diagram illustrates a typical OUM project, with a typical number of iterations. The relative amount of effort performed in each process, during each iteration is represented by the height of the colored bars for each process. The number of iterations performed and the amount of effort required for a particular project will vary depending upon a number of a factors, such as scope, technical and programmatic risk, system size, team size, etc. The number of iterations can vary from as few as 3 to as many as 12 or more. Projects may also employ multiple production releases, and therefore, multiple iterations of the entire lifecycle to fulfill all of the business requirements.

 

Full Method and Focus Areas

On OUM Home page, Select a View, in the Other views category, you can access the Full Method and Focus Areas page. This page describes and provides links to the full method views and the focus area views in OUM. These views would not be used to deliver a project but are provided as a reference tool.

There are two full method views;  The Full Method view and the Full Method Activities and Tasks view.  Both of these views provide access to all the method content for Manage, Envision and Implement.  The Full Method view is organized by focus area and process.  The Full Method Activities and Task view is organized in work breakdown structure order.

I want to thank you OOW team for sharing all  Oracle OpenWorld 2011 presentations in PDF format for downloading on following link.

https://oracleus.wingateweb.com/scheduler/eventcatalog/eventCatalog.do

 

Oracle has announced retirement of Oracle Application Implementation Method (AIM) as of January 31, 2011. Oracle will no longer provide support for AIM Advantage or AIM for Business Flows. Oracle has released Oracle Unified Method (OUM) to achieve the vision of supporting the entire Enterprise IT lifecycle, including support for the successful implementation of every Oracle product.

“The Oracle^® Unified Method (OUM) can help you develop and implement technology-based business solutions with precise development and rapid deployment. You can tailor OUM to support your specific project situation. With its ready-made templates, guidelines, and scalable work breakdown structure, OUM provides the programmatic tools you need to manage the risks associated with your information technology-based projects. OUM supports the complete range of technology projects including deep support for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Enterprise Integration, Custom Software, Identity Management (IdM), and Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC).”

OUM will provide full support, Delivery and Training, for Oracle E-Business Suite R12 engagements. This support represents a major milestone in the evolution of OUM and enables Oracle E-Business Suite practices to begin the transition from the their legacy methods AIM to OUM.

What is OUM?

OUM Features:

• Oracle Support Services Supplemental Guide
• Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Tactical Project Delivery View
• Manage technique: Metrics for Agile Projects
• Envision techniques: Accelerating SOA Maturity, Operational Troubleshooting, Service Engineering Process Monitoring, SOA Capacity Planning
• Enhanced / Updated:
• Manage Work Breakdown Structure
• Core Workflow View
• “Planning a Project Using the Oracle Unified Method (OUM) – An Iterative and Incremental Approach” White Paper
• “Managing an OUM Project using Scrum” White Paper
• Template Styles and Format

Download Instructions:

Oracle OPN Diamond, Platinum, and Gold Partners can download from OPN site.

Software Environment Requirements

OUM provides Guidelines, Templates, and Tailored Work Breakdown Structure. You need the following environment installed on your PC to run the OUM method pack.

• Minimum of 1 gigahertz (GHz) processor speed

• 76 megabyte (MB) of disk space

• 520 megabyte (MB) RAM minimum

• Microsoft Windows 7, 2000, XP, NT 4.0

• Microsoft Office 2000 or later

• Microsoft Project 98 or later

• Microsoft Visio 5.0 or later (Optional)

• Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 or later

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later, Netscape 7.0 or later, or Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.16 or later

OUM includes three Focus Areas:

• Manage,
• Envision
• Implement

OUM’s Manage Focus Area provides a framework in which all types of projects can be planned, estimated, controlled, and completed in a consistent manner.

OUM’s Envision Focus Area deals with development and maintenance of enterprise level IT strategy, architecture, and governance. Envision also assists in the transition from enterprise-level planning and strategy activities to the identification and initiation of specific projects.

OUM’s Implement Focus Area provides a framework to develop and implement Oracle-based business solutions with precise development and rapid deployment.

The diagram below shows how the Envision, Manage, and Implement focus areas fit together to form OUM: 

The above diagram shows how the Envision, Manage, and Implement focus areas fit together to form OUM.

OUM’s Manage Focus Area, depicted in gray, provides a framework in which all types of projects can be planned, estimated, controlled, and managed in a consistent manner.  Its placement in the diagram – encapsulating the yellow Implement Focus Area – and its inclusion at the upper left and top of the red Envision focus area elements of the diagram illustrate how the Manage focus area , to which Program Management shown in blue also belongs, supports delivery of both Implement, and Envision focus area engagements.

OUM’s Envision focus area deals with development and maintenance of enterprise level IT strategy, architecture, and governance. Envision also assists in the transition from enterprise-level planning and strategy activities to the identification and initiation of specific IT projects.

The depiction of the Envision focus area as being both separate from, and surrounding, the Implement focus area, indicates that Envision focus area engagements can be executed independently, but that they may also precede, and run concurrently with, an Implement focus area engagement.

The Implement focus area is that part of OUM that covers the development or implementation of software systems based on Oracle products and technology.

You should use OUM as a guideline for performing information technology projects, but keep in mind that every project is different and that you need to adjust project activities according to each situation. Do not hesitate to add, remove, or rearrange tasks, but be sure to reflect those changes in your estimates and risk management planning.
