Introduction to EBS R12

EBS R12 brings great business values:
Provides more out-of-box improved features

The global business release to bring the global view Think globally Work globally Manage globally
Provides a vastly enhanced user interface More scalability, better performance Complete 64 bit platforms for both App tier and DB tier Take advantage of Oracle RAC for HA and Scalability

Introduction to EBS R12

Technology advances for EBS R12
Certified on Oracle Fusion Middleware Adapted the latest technology:
Oracle 10gR2 Database Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2 for Forms & Reports, 10.1.3 for HTML & Java) OA Framework and the new user interface Oracle Containers for Java (OC4J) Oracle Personalization Extending R12 with JDeveloper 10.1.3 Integration Repository XML Publisher

Fully Certified on 64 bit platforms for App and DB tiers compared to 11.5.10 that requires 32 bit for App tier

E-Business Suite on RAC

EBS on RAC : Architecture
RAC: Real Application Cluster
Multiple databases instances running on many nodes inter-connected by high speed private network All database instances share a single database All Instances can execute transaction simultaneously on the single database using cache fusion for node synchronization

Automatic Storage management (ASM)

A integrated file system and volume manager Spread data evenly on disks; automatically rebalance Easy management of file system Great way for configuring shared storage for RAC

EBS Applications on RAC and ASM

Database tier has multiple instances for a single database A single applications database resides on shared storage Applications tier connects to multiple database instances Different application components can connect to one or multiple instances for failover and load balance Applications connect to virtual IPs of the database nodes

EBS E-Business Suite on RAC

E-Business Suite on RAC:

EBS on RAC : Benefit
Applications RAC aware HA and Failover configuration Load balancing: client side load balancing server side load balancing Scalability: Scale as Needed, enable use of lower cost commodity hardware

EBS on RAC : Cost

Technology stack complexities:
EBS Installation is not RAC enabled, conversion needed DBA tasks to configure and manage RAC stack

Additional hardware (server, shared storage, switches) Additional license cost for RAC and additional servers

EBS R12 Implementation Paths

EBS R12 POCs in Dell Enterprise Solutions Lab 1) Migrating 11i to R12: 11i/non RAC -> 11i/RAC R12/RAC

EBS R12 Implementation Paths

2) Implement EBS R12 with 10g RAC on Linux x84-64 on Dell PE 2950/6950 servers: focus on RAC conversion Implementation Goal:
Establish the best practice of configuring EBS R12:
On 64 bit Dell servers. On Linux x86-64 like Oracle Enterprise Linux Enable Apps for RAC by converting database to RAC

Implementation Method:
Fresh Install EBS R12 Convert the Database to 10g RAC on ASM Establish the Applications for RAC database
