Updates to product bundling

are now packaged in the Oracle E-Business Suite Plug-in, which is certified with

New enhancements in this release
Quote:Administration/Configuration/Monitoring
- Privilege Propagation Using Administration Groups: Privilege
propagating groups enable administrators to extend privileges to members of a
group. For example, if new targets are later added to the privilege propagating
group, then the administrators receive the privileges on the target
automatically. Additionally, when a new administrator is hired, you only need to
grant the role to the administrator for the administrator to receive all the
privileges on the targets automatically.
- Oracle E-Business Suite Region in Exalogic Dashboard: An Oracle
E-Business Suite summary region is included on the Exalogic Dashboard.
- Configuration Comparison Templates: Configuration comparison
templates allow customers to compare Oracle E-Business Suite technology
configurations of two or more Oracle E-Business Suite environments.
- Certified Monitoring Templates: Out-of-the-box monitoring templates
allow you to standardize monitoring settings across Oracle E-Business Suite
environments by allowing you to specify metric thresholds to monitor E-Business
Suite services, components and technology stacks.
- Performance Monitoring: Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2 customers can
diagnose performance issues by using Java Virtual Machine (JVM) Diagnostic
integration. Customers can monitor live and historical transactions and drill
down from end user activities through all layers of technology, including Real
User Experience Insight (RUEI), WebLogic Suite (WLS) and database.
- Integration with Service Test Infrastructure: Administrators can
define service tests and beacons using Oracle Application Testing Suite (OATS)
to determine the availability of Oracle E-Business Suite services. Pre-seeded
service tests can be used to ensure that Oracle E-Business Suite services are
available for users.
- Extended Target Modeling: Administrators can now easily add Fusion
Middleware components that are externally-integrated with Oracle E-Business
Suite to the availability definition.
- Blacking Out Patch Edition in Oracle E-Business Suite12.2: Patch
edition targets are automatically blacked out in Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2 to
prevent false incidents.
Compliance Framework

addition to the seeded security compliance standards delivered in the previous
release, we have added new compliance standards that check for mandatory
database configuration parameters (init.ora) for Oracle E-Business
Suite.
Customization Management
- User Defined Customization Standards: Customers now have the ability
to define their own standards to validate customizations and create packages
according.
Patch Management

patch promotion policies for applying patches onto pre-production systems before
applying them to production systems

cloning, scale-up or scale-down cloning, and shared file system cloning is
