Oracle E-Business Suite - Change History

2009

TKU July 2009

For the E-Business Suite pattern, the following improvements were made:

• Added support for multiple instances on the same host, differentiating them by the db_sid attribute. This involved an E-Business Suite key change.
• Changed the Applications SI key to include the E-Business SI key.
• Added support for Oracle Internet Application Server as a supporting App Server.
• Any App Server & Web Server can be added to the E-Business Suite Software Structure only if their ebs_sid SI attribute matches the E-Business db_sid.
• Removed support for a generic Apache Webserver. The pattern now only looks for an Oracle HTTP Server SI where ebs_sid matches db_sid.  The ebs_sid attribute is only set for Oracle HTTP Server, and the presence of that attribute is mandatory in modeling a correct link.
• Updated the pattern to skip modules flagged as Shared because only parts of them are active in E-Business.
• Updated the pattern to get triggered when the ebs_suite attribute is set from the Oracle Database Server SI.

2010

TKU July 2010

Improved search.

TKU September 2010

The following improvements were made:

• Updated the pattern to get triggered by the Application Server SI and search for the DB SI.
• Updated versioning.
• Added required relationships.
• Deprecated the esb_suite flag usage due to its full regulation by the Oracle Database Server pattern. This helps manage nodes.

TKU October 2010

The following improvements were made:

• Updated the pattern for use with the most recent product versions (by replacing Detail nodes that represent installed modules with Software Component nodes).
• Re-designed the pattern to handle the situation where E-Business is no longer detected on the host (removal of SIs).

Updated the pattern to run database queries only when the option in the configuration block is enabled (default value).
