A little while ago we purchased the Oracle Application Management Pack. As you may or may not know, you cannot use Grid Control to manage and monitor individual components of an E-Business Suite environment, such as the concurrent manager, forms, etc.
The following document on Metalink describes the packs features and how to install it:
Getting Started with Oracle E-Business Suite Plug-in, Release 4.0 [ID 1224313.1]
I figured I would document my progress with setting up the AMP pack here. The first step is to make sure my EBS environment is at a certified level. Unfortunately this isn’t the case for us. We are on ATG_PF.B.Delta.2 and to use AMP 4.0 the requirement is ATG_PF.B.Delta.3. Also depending on the features of AMP you would like to use there are additional patches. NOTE: If you have applied the April 2012 CPU release tho, it had the same ATG_PF requirement.
This link is to a Google Docs spreadsheet which details the patches and steps I had to follow in order to bring our EBS environment up to the proper level. I also used the opportunity to review our environment and apply any recommended techstack patches, such as database patches from note: 761570.1. These metalink notes change overtime and its always a good idea to keep an eye on them.
For Reference they are:
- Database Preparation Guidelines for an E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 Upgrade [ID 761570.1]
- Upgrading OracleAS 10g Forms and Reports in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 [ID 437878.1]
- Upgrading to the Latest OracleAS 10g 10.1.3.x Patch Set in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 [ID 454811.1]
Note: Each EBS environment is different and you may not need all the patches or you may need more. So I wouldn’t recommend following this step by step. Its provided as a reference to give you an idea of the tasks involved. As well, if you feel I missed anything please let me know. Part of the advantages of sharing information is that hopefully its reciprocated. ;)
