Oracle E-Business Suite complex Software Structure

We made a complex and key addition to our extensive range of Oracle products: we now fully support identification and mapping of Oracle E-Business Suite.

These are the key features that the new Pattern is equipped with:

  • Recognition of 73 different Applications running on E-Business: based on our research, we now identify 73 different Applications, including Financials and Human Resources
  • Recognition of 153 different Modules forming the Applications: all the Modules detected are linked to the relevant Application, and each Module includes detail up to Patch Level
  • Support for 3 Tier configuration on multiple hosts: Application Server, Web Server & Database Server are recognized on a multi-host deployment

Our pattern is able to map all the relevant BusinessApplicationInstances and SoftwareInstances related to Oracle E-Business Suite, from the main BusinessApplicationInstance, down to the Software Instances of the 3 Tier Components.
