4 Oracle s Application System Management Strategy Superior Ownership Experience Applications Unlimited apps middleware dbms & o/s Build Manageability into Complete Oracle Stack Deliver Application-Specific Management Capabilities Centralize management of all Oracle software Complete ITIL support for proactive top-down application management Improve Core Platform and Lifecycle Management Tools in E-Business Suite R12, PeopleSoft 9, Siebel 8.1, and JDE E Improve support for administrative tasks

5 Strategic Direction Oracle Application Product Lines Converging on Enterprise Manager Fusion Applications Enterprise Manager Packs for: 1. Oracle E-Business Suite 2. PeopleSoft Enterprise 3. Siebel 4. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne

6 Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control Top-Down Application Management Application Operations Management Real User Experience Insight Service Level Management Packaged Application Management SOA Application Management Diagnostic and Tuning Provisioning, Configuration Management Change Tracking and Synchronization Application Quality Management Load Testing and Accelerators for Packaged Apps & Web Services Functional Testing and Accelerators for Packaged Apps & Web Services Test Management Real Application Testing Data Masking Application Lifecycle Management

7 Top-Down Application Management Business-Centric Management Designed Specifically for Oracle Applications Are my customer support processes working? How many user sessions are running? Which component is mis-configured? Which are the top 5 slowest running SQL statements? RAC

8 Centralized System Management Enterprise Manager and E-Business Suite Database Deployment Application Server E-Business Suite RDBMS DB Control Application Server AS Control Apps Oracle Applications Manager Enterprise Manager: Grid Control Repository Oracle Management Server HTML UI

9 Change Control is mandatory on today s complex application and service environments The #1 cause of system outages is unmanaged change * Over 80% of IT problems are related to configuration changes require automated configuration management to ensure application uptime, governance and support audits * CIO Magazine, 2007

10 Requirements for E-Business Suite Environments Managing Customizations Support a wide variety of file types Bundle customizations so that existing patching tools can consume them Tools to facilitate the management a high number of files Better, more efficient reporting of customizations by instance Managing Oracle Patches Eliminate redundant, error-prone practice of command-line patching Provide a centralized console for all patching activities and history Leverage and enhance existing patching tools/practices Reduce system downtime due to patching Managing Setups Enforce dependencies among related data Bundle discrete extracts into complex, reusable packages Reduce time to propagate setups to other instances Enable customers to run their own custom extracts/loads

11 Application Change Management Pack Understanding the Components of ACP Customization Management Automate packaging, deployment, migration of customizations across Oracle E-Business Suite instances Enterprise Manager Grid Control Application Change Management Pack Patch Management UI based impact analysis and deployment of Oracle Patches across multiple EBS instance from a single console Customization Manager Patch Manager Oracle E-Business Suite Packs Setup Manager Setup Management Manage, transport and document changes in functional setups across Oracle E-Business Suite instances Discovery Monitoring Cloning Application Management Pack
