ACMP Major Features
Customization Manager
Support a wide variety of file types Bundle customizations so that EBS standard patching tool can consume them Tool to manage a high number of files Better, more efficient reporting of customizations by instance 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 optimized patching flow
Patch Manager
Setup Manager
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

Client Situation (example)
Oracle EBS implementation, worldwide Additional EBS modules and upgrade planned ~ 1000 custom code files/total ~ 200 CEMLI Packages/total 5-8+ environments R11 and R12 in combination Distributed development groups (local + remote) Centralized configuration management ~ 30 CRs/month + new CEMLI development ~ 10+ Standard Patches/month ~ 80 open SRs in MOS
19
Client Requirements
Improve process quality and visibility Reduce complexity for DBAs (today multiple DBAs 24x7) Improve CEMLI quality (less rejections during installation) Support centralized CEMLI packaging Reduce system downtime using predefined deployment procedures for Standard and CEMLI patches Implement approval process for changes
20
Implementation Approach
Goal
ACMP implemented and ready to use Trained key users
Highlevel Timetable
Prerequisites: OEM 11g or 12c installed and EBS system(s) connected
