Rapid Upgrade

Implementations for Oracle

1

Upgrade with

Rapid e-Suite

to

Oracle Release 12


2

What are your Options ?

Technical Upgrade • Preparation and testing time 5-9 months [or more]

• Lots of patches with pre and post requisite patches

• Lots of documentation to read and understand

• 200,000+ scripts to run • Not all these scripts will work in your environment

• Average of 10-30 TAR’s to resolve issues

• Dedicated user resources will be required to assist with data migration issues • TCA architecture will prevent duplicate parties that exist in 11i from being loaded

• Functional resources will be needed to e-business tax adjustments

• Many of the CEMLI’s will break, some will never work again

• During the project it will be necessary to FREEZE code and configuration changes

• Downtime on the production server will be at least 5 days for the AVG multi-national

Impacts • Business freeze for 9 months or more

• Downtime on the production server for 5 days or more

• Disruption to the business for 9+ months

• Like for like – 11i look and feel in R12 • Multi-org can be setup after the upgrade as can some other R12 functionality

• SLA will require setting up a new operating unit


3


Re-Implementation • A complete rebuild, reimplement and data migration project

• Leave behind the old ways and start afresh

Impacts • Lengthy process

• Significant disruption to the business

• No downtime on the production server needed

• Costly to the business

• Not a favorite option to many


4


Automated Re-Implementation • Extract – Transform – Load

• Configurations

• Master Data

• History Transaction Data

• Open Transactions

• Extract allows

• One operating unit

• Groups of operating units

• All operating units

• Transform allows

• Merge and split of operating units

• Change the COA

• Make any other configuration changes as needed

Impacts • No Downtime - Existing business runs on 11i while R12 instance is prepared

• Delta changes to all data types moved by the ETL process until live

• Flexible

• Faster

• Minimum impact to business

Only from

Rapid e-Suite

How do we do it ?

The Tools


8

The Service

EXTRACT [uses REVERSE] For each operating unit there are 3 extractions

• Configurations

• Master data

• Closed transactions and Open transactions

Reverse is

Fast ……..

Data is extracted in a BR100

format enabling full

documentation almost

immediately


9

The Service

TRANSFORM [uses CONFIGURATOR]

Configurations

• The configurations are analyzed, mapped to R12 formats, cleaned, have e-business tax

configurations added, ledger structures are confirmed,

• Transformation rules are applied if any exist

• Changes to the COA, item coding structures, instance level standards changes, etc

Review the

configurations – drill

down on the Oracle

responsibility

Follow the Oracle style menus

Displays the data in BR100 format –

real-time and changeable


10

The Service


Configurations

• The configurations are analyzed, mapped to R12 formats, cleaned, have e-business tax

configurations added, ledger structures are confirmed,


• Changes to the COA, item coding structures, instance level standards changes, etc

Or select a printer icon

at ANY level and get a

BR100 document

immediately of the

configurations


11

The Service


Master Data

• The Master data is mapped to R12 formats


• Changes to the COA, item coding structures, instance level standards changes,

etc

The same is done for

master data


12

The Service


Transactions [including all history]

• The Transaction data is mapped to R12 formats


• Changes to the COA, item coding structures, instance level standards changes,

etc

And transaction history


13

The Service

LOAD [uses BUILD] Only Oracle supplied standard products are used.

There is no custom code

There is no direct writes to the database of any kind

All data loaded is done via

• Open interfaces

• API’s

• FORMS or HTML

The package is

provided by

CONFIGURATOR- this

contains all the

dependency sequence

and the steps to

execute

Click START and the

appropriate technology

is launched as needed

15

SYSTEM OVERVIEW Various statistics


16

Sample code correction

Know how to fix, right down to

the code-line level, even before

you build your upgraded

environment

Anywhere that Panaya advises

you to adjust the code, we also

create unit test tasks for all

entry level objects that are

using the impacted code

The tool highlights the error

All the objects that use the

above code – are listed


17

SAMPLE UNIT TEST

Test Concurrent Report

Ready to Test • Having the testing plan

integrated into the

corrections plan means

that testing can be

coordinated.

• Knowing when a test can

be performed is

possible, since Panaya

knows if the underlying

corrections have been

performed or not.


18

SAMPLE UNIT TEST

Review Underlying Corrections

Fix First, Then Test •The traditional methodology would be to test,

then fix.

•With Panaya, the corrections are all identified

in the analysis, giving your team the

opportunity to fix first, then once all the

corrections are done, the tester will know that

the test is “ready to test”

What you get

• A new R12 instance

• on any operating system

• on any hardware configuration

• Each

• selected operating unit,

• group of operating units

• or all operating units

• in your new R12 instance

• All your

• configurations,

• master data

• transaction data

• for the selected operating units


21

What you get

• Changes to

• the COA

• or any other configurations

• Split / merge operating units

• from the same instance

• from different instances

• into one or more R12 instances

• Standardize

• your instance level configurations across the company

• Create business rules to end date no longer used instance configurations

• Your business process by bringing standard configurations to all businesses

• Your CEMLI’s

• Will be converted as identified by the Panaya tool

• Some CEMLI’s may not be able to be upgraded

• Some CEMLI’s may be replaced by R12 functionality
