Key Features (very similar to 13.1.1.1.0):
System Management
Oracle Application Management Pack provides monitoring alerts and notifications for Oracle Application Framework, Concurrent Processing, Forms services, concurrent managers and requests, Oracle Workflow services, Oracle Database, and middle tier/web servers.
Standardize monitoring settings across your Oracle E-Business Suite environments by utilizing templates to initially specify the monitoring settings and apply those to your monitored targets. You can save, edit, and apply these templates across one or more targets. A monitoring template is specified for a particular target type and can only be applied to targets of the same type.
Use the Concurrent Processing dashboard for a complete picture of concurrent processing on your Oracle E-Business Suite system of both current activities as well as usage statistics. Add concurrent programs and managers as user-defined targets and the system will collect metrics on activity and usage for them.
Configuration Management
Oracle Application Management Pack collects and stores the technology configurations of Oracle E-Business Suite to help centralize monitoring and tracking of changes to Oracle E-Business Suite technology stack configurations including host configuration, database configuration, middleware configuration, patches applied, key profile option changes, versions of technology components, and custom object changes.
Compare configurations between two or more Oracle E-Business Suite systems directly or by comparing configuration snapshots taken at different time intervals.
Configuration templates help to standardize the configuration standards across the company and reduce the configuration drift between various Oracle E-Business Suite instances.
Administrators can track changes by setting up notifications when any unauthorized changes occur to technology stack configurations.
Compliance Management
Compliance framework integration allows you to ensure your Oracle E-Business Suite is compliant with your IT audit requirements, as well as industry and regulatory requirements. Compliance Management dashboards show trends and compliance violations. Proactive, real-time compliance monitoring can significantly reduce the operational risk to business.
Change Management
Change Approval Framework
All changes made with Oracle-delivered patches or customizations in Change Management are processed through a change approval mechanism. A multi-level, hierarchical list of approvers can be set up for each Oracle E-Business Suite target. Auditors can review the change requests as welll as the approvals.
Patch Management
Patch recommendations for Oracle E-Business Suite application products and the technology stack components are made for specific Oracle E-Business target instances to help reduce or eliminate the research work by administrators. These patch recommendations help to ensure all Oracle E-Business Suite systems are current with Oracle-recommended patches. You can deploy database and WLS patches by creating Oracle Enterprise Manager patch plans directly from the patch recommendations user interface.
Using the Patch Management dashboard, you can manage all patching activities of your Oracle E-Business Suite instances and view patch worker logs. Patch Manager simplifies the online patching process and reduces human intervention to a great extent, eliminating the need for continuous monitoring of the patching process.
Patch Manager makes it easier for administrators to check for prerequisite patches and to download the patches in offline mode or directly from My Oracle Support.
Customization Management
Create and deploy custom packages across Oracle E-Business Suite instances similar to Oracle-delivered patches. Customization Manager can help ensure all customizations follow Oracle development standards and/or user-defined customization standards specific to your IT organization. Easily integrate Customization Manager with any third-party source code version control software. This feature also supports the creation of National Language Support (NLS) patches. Customization Manager can discover customizations within your Oracle E-Business Suite systems and provide detailed reports online or in a spreadsheet format. This helps your organization keep track of the inventory of customizations and use the data for further analysis.
Cloning
Automated Cloning allows you to clone your Oracle E-Business Suite applications for testing, training, or development purposes, leveraging the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Provisioning Framework. A step-by-step interview guides an administrator through the cloning process and facilitates scheduling of Oracle E-Business Suite instance. Administrators can modify the standard cloning procedure to include pre- or post-custom steps, seamlessly automating their cloning process from beginning to end.
Instance Administration
Administrators can use the Instance Administration user interface when adding and removing (scale in and scale out) application services, application nodes, and managed servers.
Remember that editioning support introduced the concept of stub objects – those that point to the “real” version of the object when multiple editions are present (which is pretty much all the time in 12.2).
This is why the synonym for an object like APPS.FND_USER points to a current editioned object named APPLSYS.FND_USER#, which may exist in different forms in multiple editions.
The trouble is when you perform a simple grant DDL:
SQL> grant SELECT on APPS.FND_USER to XXCUSTOM;
Even if you have the whole middle-tier services down, or follow the instructions in Granting Privileges On An Object May Cause Invalidations (Doc ID 1987947.1) if you then check your usual source for invalid objects (such as using $AD_TOP/sql/adutlrcmp.sql) you’ll be blessed with hundreds and perhaps thousands of invalid stubs, all of which need to be re-compiled lest you start receiving the dreaded ORA-04062: signature of package “APPS.FND_GLOBAL” has been changed (meaning it was automatically re-compiled while in-use by another process), or ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump (something was valid, but a bunch of dependent stub objects no longer are valid.)
What I’ve discovered in 12.2.6, with an 11.2.0.4 DB, even if you issue the DDL commands in a proper patching cycle, you still get thousands of invalid stubs. So, really there’s only one solution – use the new API (introduced in patch 19674458:R12.AD.C) and present generally after AD.Delta.6
Syntax:
————
ad_zd.grant_privs(
X_PERMISSIONS in varchar2, /* comma-seperated permission list */
X_OBJECT_NAME in varchar2, /* name of APPS object or APPS synonym */
X_GRANTEE in varchar2, /* grantee schema or role */
X_OPTIONS in varchar2 default NULL); /* grant options, example: ‘WITH
GRANT OPTION’ */
Most administrators become familiar with the FNDLOAD utility ($FND_TOP/bin/FNDLOAD) which is used to move various objects between instances that have been defined and set up using the front-end (Menus, FlexField setups, Users, Alerts, Concurrent Programs, et.al.)
Yes, you can manually re-enter all that information using the front-end forms and OAF pages, but you do have a utility to do that for you: FNDLOAD.
Typing FNDLOAD by itself with no parameters gives you a general idea of what kinds of parameters it takes:
You have not provided the required arguments for this program.
Usage: FNDLOAD logon 0 Y mode configfile datafile [ entity [ param ... ] ]
where
logon is username/password[@connect]
mode is either UPLOAD or DOWNLOAD
configfile is the configuration file
datafile is the data file
entity is an entity name, or - to specify all values in an upload
param is a NAME=VALUE string used for parameter substitution
But you can, like most of these utilities, create a script wrapper which makes the process more driven to support repetitive change migrations.
Here’s an example using many of the various parameters in a format that simply downloads the object from the source instance and uploads the resulting *.ldt file into the target instance. Just comment out things you don’t want (or isn’t supported by your particular EBS version) and add new objects as they become supported by FNDLOAD in the future.

Relatively easy installation, a new learning curve to master for post-installation maintenance and patching.
The principal changes in Release 2 of 13c are the segregation of the Cloud Management Services plugins (and related functionality) to specific licensable plugin components – namely:
Cloud Services Management – used for provisioning, allocation, and administration (think “infrastructure”) of Oracle Public Cloud-based resources (databases, development tools, middleware, etc.)
Oracle Cloud Application – a portal punch-out to access Oracle Cloud-based applications such as hosted e-Business Suite, Cloud Content Management, Cloud SOA Suite, Cloud Identity Management, etc. (think “apps”.)
This proof-of-concept testbed system was based upon the latest available installer set – Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c Release 2 Plug-in Update 1 (13.2.0.0) – we happen to be testing backwards-compatibility with some 10g databases before committing to the upgrade. Direct (out-of-place) upgrades are supported for version of EM 12.1.0.4 and newer.
Fusion Middleware in this release is Weblogic 12.1.3
The host system is built upon Windows Server 2012 R2, single-tier, 16GB RAM, 2 cores, also hosting the OMS repository database in a 12.2.0.1.0 EE installation. Since the DB Templates provided seemed to be specific for a 12.1.x database (and errors out in certain steps during the build), I simply created a generic database from the standard template with the pre-requisite parameter settings (e.g. _allow_insert_with_update_check=TRUE; sessions > 300; shared_pool_size (10% of SGA); etc.) , and pre-created the required tablespaces:
MGMT_AD4J_TS
MGMT_ECM_DEPOT_TS
MGMT_TABLESPACE
During the installation, the (Oracle Universal Installer) OUI will create the following new users assigned to these tablespaces:
The standard download set includes a single executable file (.exe or .bin) and several additional ZIP archives. These are to be staged in a single directory, and the ZIP files do NOT need to be pre-extracted.
Overall, the installation was straight-forward and as-documented (despite this being a Windows installation – which usually has its own quirks.) The portion that I feel has the steepest learning curve is post-installation maintenance, and particularly patching. The new tool in 13c, the OMSpatcher (Patchset 19999993 – think of it as a Java wrapper for opatch) was really designed for use specficially in a cloud-based environment and hasn’t been completely polished for use on-premise in smaller installations.
For example, it is designed to rely upon an active Weblogic AdminServer to instantiate it’s requests for inventory versioning information and component availability for patching. But if any of those components are actually in-use by the AdminServer itself, it will tend to fail to apply, and instead provide a lengthy step-by-step instruction set of how to accomplish all of the steps manually. Depending on the complexity of your OEM setup (e.g. the number of registered plugins and target types) this could take over an hour to get the patching utility to fail and then provide the manual steps.
The OEM-specific version of OPatch (Patchset 6880880) is quite different than its predecessors. While the OMSPatcher uses the prior “unzip into the existing Oracle Home” installation technique, the OPatch utility itself now is a Java installer that relies on the OUI to allow updating of component versioning and inventory adjustments. Most importantly, you will need to “install” the new version of OPatch before being allowed to continue with your planned patching:
$JAVA_PATH\java -jar $PATCH_STAGE\6880880\opatch_generic.jar -silent oracle_home=$ORACLE_HOME (being updated for OPatch)
This OPatch update needs to be applied (before patching) to every Oracle Home using 13c technology (the OMS home, the Agent Home, other FMW homes at version 12.1.3 or newer, etc.)
See MOS EM 13c: How to Apply a Patch to the Enterprise Manager 13c Cloud Control OMS Oracle Home (Doc ID 2091619.1) for details about making an OMSPatcher property file, and why you want to create one.
Final steps executed:
Build general purpose 12.2.0.1.0 database with new tablespaces.
Install Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c Release 2 Plug-in Update 1 (13.2.0.0)
Patch 19999993: EM OMSPatcher latest version 13.8.0.0.2 (unzip to ORACLE_HOME)
Patch 6880880: EM OPatch latest version 13.9.0.0.0 (both OMS and Agent)
cd $PATCH_STAGE\<patch#>
$FMW_HOME\OMSPatcher\omspatcher apply -analyze -property_file
$FMW_HOME\OMSPatcher\omspatcher apply -property_file [OMS_DISABLE_HOST_CHECK=true -- a useful option added to deal with virtual host names]

This is the same process when creating procedures and functions with the usual caveat that unless it’s a 12c database, you cannot create materialized views on the editioned objects.
For the 11gR2 EBS users, you would stick with the existing non-editioned table object reference:

SELECT aps.vendor_id, aps.vendor_name

1317697.1Functional Diagram of the Integrated SOA Gateway in Oracle e-Business Suite
Registering the Integrated SOA Gateway included in the Oracle E-Business Suite R12.2.x instances is actually reasonably simple, but the documents make it sound much worse than it really is, simply by being several hundred pages of documentation.
The reason to do this is to expose the RESTful services interface for EBS so that other web applications can do useful things, such as check usernames for validity, lookup business process (workflow) statuses, and even query for completion of processes, such as concurrent programs. The built-in library of accessable Services is quite vast and enables lots of interconnectivity with other applications.
This is also useful if you happen to be extending the application using the Mobile Application Framework, which allows you to build custom applications for mobile devices that access all the various EBS functionalities.

Before commencing, have the following prepared:
Unlock the ASADMIN (FND_USER) account and set the password so that it can login without a change password challenge (no expiry. required.
APPS password
Weblogic password
IP Address of ApplTier Host
Ports for ApplTier Host (both base port and WLS console – e.g. 8000 7001)
Your base port is the one in your usual EBS URL and the WLS console URL can be determined via Oracle Application Manager in the Site Map link for Weblogic Administration.
Services will be interrupted by bounce twice (2X) during installation.
Installation takes about 45 minutes to complete.

Oracle Enterprise Manager 13c includes several enhancements including:
A new Oracle Fusion Middleware technology stack
The “Alta” user interface to enhance user experience
New OEM Alta Interface 13c
Edition Based Redefinition (EBR) support
Hybrid Cloud Managment
Oracle Application Management Suite now delivers several capabilities to monitor and manage Oracle E-Business Suite environments on Oracle Cloud and on-premises. These capabilities are delivered through the Enterprise Manager command line interface (EMCLI) for greater flexibility.
Discovering Orchestration Virtual Machine
Provisioning a New Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2 Instance
Backup and Restore an Oracle E-Business Suite Instance
Lift and Shift E-Business Suite instances from On-premise to Oracle Cloud
Cloning E-Business Suite instances within Oracle Cloud
Ability to run FS_Clone only option
Apply E-Business Suite patches
Start and Stop E-Business Suite instances on Cloud
To create custom packages
System Managment for Oracle E-Business Suite
Discovery and Monitoring
Real User Experience Insight (RUEI) regions integrated within the Oracle E-Business Suite Summary page
In this release, we have integrated five different RUEI regions within the Oracle E-Business Suite Summary page. Customers can personalize and activate one or all RUEI regions. These RUEI regions are specific to a given Oracle E-Business Suite instance and customers can view the data and drill down for detailed information.
Auto Host Aliasing
Host aliasing is now automated and will attempt to match the host name in the Oracle E-Business Suite context file and the discovered host name in Oracle Enterprise Manager. If this attempt fails, you will be prompted to perform the mapping manually. Customization Manager and Patch Manager features now support host aliasing.
Change Management for Oracle E-Business Suite
Patch Manager – Oracle E-Business Suite Technology Stack Pack Deployments
During the prior release of Application Management Suite, you had the ability to view patch recommendations for E-Business Suite applications and the technology stack. In this release, you now have the ability to deploy Database and WebLogic server patches using Enterprise Manager patch plans.
Customization Discovery & Reporting process now includes discovery of database objects.
Cloning – Automated Cloning
You now have the ability to save the cloning interview process as templates that can be used for future purposes for Smart Clone for R12, 12.2.x procedure.
You can add custom parameters to the cloning procedure
The Applications Management Suite plug-in for Oracle Enterprise Manager simplifies discovery of the myriad of subtargets that make up an Oracle E-Business Suite instance. Correspondingly, the number of alerts sent out can rise dramatically because of the inter-relationships between the components.
For example, the outage of a single Apache process triggers all of the following associated targets also to flag as a service Down status:
INSTANCE-Oracle E-Business Suite
INSTANCE-Infrastructure INSTANCE_host-APPL_TOP Context
HTTP_Server
The number of downed targets increases if a subcomponent of a primary component (such as a single JVM thread under the OACore process) experiences an outage.
This is a simple walk-through of navigating one of the e-mail alerts to start figuring out what happened.
The e-mail alert looks like this:
From: OEM12 Burbank Sent: Monday, December 07, 2015 8:30 AM To: DBAs Subject: EM Event: Fatal:INSTANCE-Oracle E-Business Suite – Target is down; 1 member is down: INSTANCE_EBS Availability System

Incident created by rule (Name = Incident management rule set for all targets, Incident creation rule for a Target Down availability status [System generated rule]).
To investigate an event alert, click on the Associated Incident ID (e.g. the 390885 which on your system will be a URL taking you into OEM) which will take you to the associated Incident Summary page.
Click on Related Events to investigate what raised the event alert (there may be more than one cause):
OEM 12c AMS 12.1.0.4 – Incident Details
From the screen, it shows the red mark on PRODARMK-Infrastructure PRODARMK_ascopofinm01-APPL_TOP Context (Oracle E-Business Suite Node).
Click on that link in the list of Targets.
Navigate to Monitoring -> Status History:
OEM 12c AMS 12.1.0.4 – Navigation Target: Monitoring -> Status History
Change the Availability History view to All History (the related underlying event caused is displayed.)
OEM 12c AMS 12.1.0.4 – Target: Status History Details
If you click on the related Message (e.g. Target is down; 1 member is down: INSTANCE_hostname.auca.corp_oacore_JVM_…); you will then be shown the related Event page for that target:
OEM 12c AMS 12.1.0.4 – Target: Event Details
Click on the Related Events tab for this target, to confirm the service alert recorded:
If this is a recurring issue, by sliding the timeline back and forth (and adjusting the period view to a larger sample) you can see if there are any associated time-related occurrences that can be used to identify root cause.
For the specific issue, login to the associated host, and view the output and error logs for the process itself to determine what triggered the alert (in this case, the JVM automatically restarted the OACore process that had run out of memory.)
We had a unique encounter with the issue of Forms “freezing” on launch (also when seeing FRM-40734: Internal Error: PL/SQL Error occurred; FRM-92102: A network error has occurred)
One of the key debugging actions taken is the steps related to My Oracle Support (support.oracle.com) article:
R12: Forms Runtime Diagnostics (FRD), Tracing And Logging For Forms In Oracle Applications ( Doc ID 438652.1 )
From this screenshot, you can see that the Forms Server is actually successfully launching (that’s why you can see the Navigator and Menu Bar), but something is not populating the actual session-related information (the menu items, the functions available,etc.)
Since we are on Single-Sign On (SSO) you might be freezing instead just after the Forms Login screen.
Turned out to be incorrect settings for the UTL_FILE_DIR parameter for the database which had been set using an online ALTER SYSTEM SET command, but would not show up until the database was re-started. (nb UTL_FILE_DIR is notoriously picky about quotes and commas for multiple directories being specified.) The ALTER command should appear as (for 11g):
SQL> alter system set UTL_FILE_DIR=’dir1′,’dir2′,’dir3′
But often someone uses the following (which used to work in 8i, 9i, but is now invalid):
SQL> alter system set UTL_FILE_DIR=’dir1,dir2,dir3′
Once the DB was restarted, it ended up with an incorrect UTL_FILE_DIR parameter and was unable to write the session flag files to the expected temporary directory (usually APPLPTMP).
One of the DB Trace files produced during the attempt to login included:
/* Section below shows AXF framework extensions are in-use */
/* This appears to be a Session Date/Time check */

After the UTL_FILE_DIR setting was corrected, and the database re-started, Forms Launching worked correctly again.
However, there are dozens of other causes of this type of Forms Freeze issue. Some of the other things we had to rule out were:
adadmin:
Recompile APPS Schema
Recompile Forms executables
Regenerate JAR files
Recompile menus
Recompile flexfields
Recompile Forms Server Binaries:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/forms/lib; make -f ins_forms.mk sharedlib
cd $ORACLE_HOME/forms/lib; make -f ins_forms.mk install
adrelink.sh force=y “fnd fndfmxit.so”
adrelink.sh force=y “fnd fndrwxit.so”
Verify APPS password and FND_ORACLE_USERID encryption.
Verify APPLSYSPUB connectivity.
Verify Forms Server launch operations manually using DBC

Using a pre-existing registered module (ZFA – Oracle Financial Analyzer in our case), this clones the settings required to fulfill the R12.2 upgrade pre-requisite check for additonal applications, which had been added since the 12.1.3 release.) It is referenced in the primary 12.2.3 Upgrade Post and fully listed herein.
If you Care a Little More, Things Happen. Bees can be dangerous. Always wear protective clothing when approaching or dealing with bees. Do not approach or handle bees without proper instruction and training.
