The Oracle E-Business Suite plugin provides a structured deployment model for commonly used EBS Objects including Forms, Reports, SQLs, PLSQLs, AOL, OAF, BI Publisher, Images, web files, workflows, etc. See EBS Object Types Reference for a list of supported EBS object types.
Supported Versions
- R 12.1.3
- R 12.2
- R 11.5.10
Key Features
- Rich set of options for deploying EBS objects
- Supports ADOP patching phases for R12.2 and above
- Operations to manage EBS application tier servers
- Structured deployment model
- Only deploys objects which have changed
- Supports SQL files execution order
Core Operations
Operation Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
To Build EBS objects from Source Control | |
To Deploy EBS Objects to EBS Server | |
To execute commands/scripts on EBS Instance | |
To recompile all invalid SQLs. | |
Run the adcgnjar utility to generate and sign a JAR (For R12.2+ only). | |
| generateCustomJar | Generate and Sign custom Product Jar |
| checkPatchCycle | To check if an patching cycle is active |
Online Patching Phase Operations
Operation Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
To initiate prepare adop patch phase to apply changes. | |
To finalize adop patch phase to apply changes. | |
To cutover adop patch phase to apply changes. | |
To cleanup adop phase after applying changes. | |
To abort adop phase after applying changes. | |
| adopFsClone | To run fs_clone phase. |
Server Management Operations
Note: For R12.2+, use operations from WebLogic Plugin to restart the servers.
The below operations (excluding workflow services) use a locking strategy for execution in an environment. This will help sequecing and controlling the EBS servers recycles to avoid any conflict when more than one execution is trying to stop/start a certain server in an environment. @Since EBS Plugin version 5.5.0.3.11
Operation Name | Purpose |
