5 Session Agenda Case studies CEMLI and Reports Cataloging Process flow Planning Assessment Remediation Testing Cycles Some New Key Features in R12 Post Production issues Lessons learned Best Practices Documentation Q&A 5

6 CEMLI and Reports Cataloging CEMLI Configurations, Extensions, Modifications, Localizations, Integrations Framework Case Study A Case Study B 6

7 Planning Plan, Plan, Plan, Plan.. Key for successful upgrade Set realistic deadline Pre CRP1 Decide Team structure o o o o o o 1 Project Manager for Entire Project 1 PM for CEMLI / 1 PM for Reports Functional BAs (2 per process flow Order to Cash, P2P etc) Developers technology specific (OA Framework, Reports, PL/SQL etc.) Key Business Users DBAs if possible, dedicated team 7

8 Planning (Contd.) For every CEMLI, assign a BA Developer Business User for testing Consider that team is also supporting 11i Integrate CEMLI with Business Process Flow Test scripts This will help identify redundant objects and also need for new objects to fill gaps Link with IDs in both files, helped a lot Pre CRP1 process takes about 3 weeks Notify 3rd party Vendors and start work to upgrade the interfaces sooner (170 Markview Systems, Antenna, Banks etc.) 8

9 Assessment All CEMLI objects will not be migrated Some redundant Add new ones for gaps in R12 9

10 Assessment (Contd.) Categorize by LOE, how many will 1) Migrate easily with minor/moderate data model changes Ledger instead of Set of Books Customer Correspondence (Invoice Print) Suppliers / Banks moved to TCA Form Personalization to Customer/Supplier forms etc. in R12 all OA pages 10

11 Assessment (Contd.) Categorize by LOE, contd.. 2) Complete rewrites New SLA module Rewrite GL reconciliation reports (now using XLA tables) o Account Analysis Introduction of new Payment module (IBY) Creation and validation of Payments Format and Transmission of Files Reports in MFS application are deprecated and application is developed in UIX (user interface xml). Developed custom reports using hooks provided by Oracle 11

12 CEMLI Remediation o Custom Forms/Reports 6i Open and Recompile 6i Forms/Reports in 10g Builder Modify for data model changes Set 'Operating Unit' mode to Single for all Concurrent Programs Setting org_context changed to mo_global.set_policy_context ('S',org_id) Rewrite custom reports based on obsolete seeded RDFs Sales Journal by GL Account Report (RAXGLR replaced by ARSJGLARPT) Uninvoiced Receipts Report (POXPORRA replaced by CSTACREP) U.S. Sales Tax Report (ARXSTR replaced by ZXXSTR) Posted Invoice Register (APXINPIR) replaced by R12 Payables Posted Invoice Register APXPOINV). AP checks, Positive Pay report are developed in Java instead of RDF 12

13 CEMLI Remediation Menu/Responsibility These had to be done manually. Fix them in first two test cycles, extract them using Fnd load utility re import them for the final upgrade, to save the cut over time. Workflow Customizations Used WFLoad utility to Download and Upload WF Customizations On some WFs had to reimplement customization on the R12 version OA Custom Pages Reimplemented from scratch, budget lot of time o OLM, irecruitment were customized in Had to reimplement all customizations 13

14 CEMLI Remediation Alerts/Value Sets/DFFs Modify for data model changes In R12, Value set 'GL_SRS_COA_ID_BYSOB' is replaced by 'GL_SRS_COA_UNVALIDATED'. Concurrent programs that use this Value Set have to be modified. Forms Personalizations GUI forms migrate well. Remediate for data model changes Forms that moved to OA framework (HTML pages), e.g. Customer Standard, Suppliers etc. all Form Personalizations were re implemented with OA Personalizations and Extensions Upgrading Form Personalizations and OA Framework Personalizations from Oracle E Business Suite Release 11i to 12.1 [ID ] 14

15 Discoverer Reports Remediation Upgrade to 10g or higher Folders in Custom Business Areas EUL automatically re linked during Upgrade Replace views / folders where changes were made Modify joins or add new joins where needed 15

16 Testing Cycle 16

17 Testing Cycle Test, Test, Test, Test. Thoroughly validate the upgrade plan Case Study A Did 3 test runs Case Study B Did 4 test runs Run reports in R11i pre upgrade and compare with equivalent R12 reports post upgrade Ex. Reconcile your Trial Balance totals to GL before the upgrade. Compare the R12 and R11i Trial Balance totals after the upgrade Test Drilldown from GL to old/upgraded and new subledger accounting data. Test the period close processes for several months 17

18 New Features Funds Disbursement to bank via New functionality in R12. Transmission Configurations : Prior to R12 there were custom host programs written to do the Transfer of files to the banks which were usually sftp calls to the Bank servers. In R replaced with the seeded functionality. Payments Setup Administrator Transmission Configuration Server Host Name: Port#: Account User Name: Account Pwd : Client Private Key : Client Private key Pwd: Remote File Directory : Sent file Name: Keep Local File: 18

19 New Features Accrual and Reconciliation Reports moved from PO to CST Schema. In : 1) Accrual Reconciliation Rebuild (Short Name: POXACRCR) 2) Accrual Reconciliation Report (Short Name: POXACREC) In R12 : (Shifting from PO to CST Schema) 1) Accrual Reconciliation Load Run 2) Accrual Reconciliation Report (AP and PO Accrual Reconciliation Report) 3) Miscellaneous Accrual Reconciliation Report 4) Summary Accrual Reconciliation Report 19

20 New Features Leverage forms personalization's if coming from Exporting Personalization importing them to new instance Profile option : FND: Personalization Document Root Path Create directory : /tmp/custdocs Navigate to Functional Administrator and click on Personalization. Import / Export You can export corresponding personalization under /tmp/custdocs Once done, all personalizations are created with subdirectories underneath this Do same steps in instance where you want to do upload Make sure the same directories are created underneath /tmp/custdocs so that you can Import them to this instance. 20

21 Post Production Issues / Lessons Learned Do not apply patches close to go live, unless it is absolutely critical. We applied an ATG patch during UAT and it impacted irecruitment Approval WFs for go live Complete all WF before you start the upgrade process Clear Interfaces and Any Processing Exceptions Test all of your business scenarios with upgraded as well as new data SLA links did not come over for some transactions. Oracle provided scripts Check Log files for the Seeded Programs for Update Subledger Accounting, this will build the records for the historical transactions in subledger tables and establish the Drill downs Performance issues with AR forms / Service forms WF Synchronization process not working, so new contacts are not created 21

22 Post Production Issues / Lessons Learned Customer Contacts now created with option as Text instead of HTML. Custom WF not able to send formatted s Invoice Validation Program not validating invoices Funds disbursement information about expense reports created prior to upgrade and after upgrade has variations. Credit Card Numbers are now encrypted, since they have security patch. Causing issues with T&E Remittance program. Working with bank for that For ongoing maintenance, Oracle now typically providing rollup patches. Leverage backup folder, contain the files that are modified. 22

23 Best Practices Realistic plans, realistic expectations Reduce new customizations in 11i Test new development in parallel on R12 instance to ensure compatibility Freeze 11i customizations at least 2 3 months prior to cut over Test all of your business scenarios with upgraded as well as new data Give yourself plenty of time to Train and prepare your end users Use TUMS utility, filter out upgrade steps not needed for your system Install Oracle Configuration Manager to leverage health checks and priority handling of SRs Use Maintenance Wizard Collects data from 11i and filters R12 upgrade steps Records task times, assigns tasks Utilize the Upgrade Advisor via Oracle Support 23
