Managing E-Business Suite Setup and Configuration

Effective management of Oracle E-Business Suite setup is essential. Whether implementing or extending applications, performing support or undertaking patching and upgrades, organisations must ensure work can be done efficiently, accurately and with minimum risk – while maximising the benefit to the business. The complexity of the Oracle E-Business Suite, from both functional and technical perspectives, makes this a time consuming and costly process – and one that is highly prone to human error.

Too often we hear phrases such as “It works on the test environment” or “It worked two weeks ago” - usually heralding a “needle-in-a-haystack” hunt to work out either what is different between two environments or what has changed since a process last worked successfully. As organisations implement functionality it is critical that the setup to support it is correctly managed across multiple environments. Organisations have increasing requirements to control their application setup both to ensure access to data is properly secured and that any changes to setup have been authorised.

ConfigSnapshot has been developed to address exactly these types of problems. It is an easy to use application dramatically reducing the time required for such tasks, increasing their accuracy and minimising the risks normally associated with them.
