Applications Change Management Pack 3.1 is now available

E-Business Suite Applications Technology Group has recently released Application Change Management Pack (ACMP) Release 3.1 and Application Management Pack (AMP) Release 3.1.
As you might be aware, Application Change Management Pack is Oracle's offering for customers to monitor and manage Oracle E-Business Suite changes. Application Change Management Pack provides a centralized view to monitor and orchestrate changes (both functional and technical) across multiple Oracle E-Business Suite systems.
In release 3.1 Application Change Management Pack has been enhanced to provide more control and flexibility in managing Oracle E-Business Suite changes.
Some of the key distinguishing features of the new release include:
* Change Approval Framework: Changes orchestrated through Application Change Management Pack can now be controlled through the new change approval framework in Release 3.1. Users can now be segregated as approvers across Oracle E-Business Suite system(s) and modules (Customization Manager, Patch Manager or Setup Manager). Built in notification capability enables approver(s)/requester to be intimated about the status of relevant change requests. It also provides an implicit audit trail mechanism.
* Integrated Custom Application Management: An integrated custom applications management feature enables users to easily register new custom applications across Oracle E-Business Suite systems and also track and validate existing custom applications in a standard way. This dashboard also helps track custom objects, packages and file meta-data associated with custom applications.
* Pre-requisite Patch Analysis: Oracle E-Business Suite patches can now be analyzed for Pre-requisites prior to deployment in the target system. The analysis also verifies whether the pre-requisites are already available (in the target system) and if not, an option to add them to the patch job.
* Offline Transformation: For the very first time, users have the ability to download Oracle E-Business Suite setup data in Microsoft Excel document. Once downloaded, the Setup Data can be edited or new data can be entered into the worksheets. Data is validated within the Microsoft Excel file and also while uploading into Setup Manager.
* Built-in Intelligence: Release 3.1 has numerous minor enhancements that provide necessary intelligence for a seamless change orchestration. A few examples are:
* Automated file driver meta-data generation for new files and $Header handling
* Customization Package impact analysis report
* Advanced filtering options for setup migration
* Improved Usability: Release 3.1 contains numerous usability and reporting enhancements to ensure better integration with third party systems like source control systems and to foster collaborative development.

Applications Change Management Pack 3.0 now available

E-Business Suite Applications Technology Group recently released a new product, the Application Change Management Pack (ACMP), and a new version of their Application Management Pack (AMP).
The Application Change Management Pack is noteworthy because it provides three new tools for automating updates to multiple E-Business Suite instances:
Customization Manager automates the packaging of your customizations into AD-compliant packages that can be deployed across multiple E-Business Suite instances. Before packaging, the Customization Manager validates your customizations against Oracle's software coding best practices.
Patch Manager integrates with Oracle Metalink and automatically downloads and deploys different types of patches across multiple (single or multi-node) E-Business Suite instances.
Setup Manager helps manage functional setups that need to be duplicated across multiple E-Business Suite instances.

There are many enhancements in Setup Manager compared to iSetup. To list a few:
1) ability to create a project which groups extracts, loads and reports and orchestrate these tasks as per your requirements.
2) Ability to migrate data between point releases of EBS. Example, you can move data from 12.0.4 to 12.0.6 or 12.1.1.
3) Ability to share the projects with other users.
4) You can do extraction and loading to multiple instances in a single execution.

A note on Setup Manager - Application Change Management Pack

Hi All,
This is Mugunthan, Development manager for iSetup and Setup Manager. I am happy to begin my note with the launch of Application Change Management Pack 3.1. For those who are not aware of Application Change Management Pack, it is a new product built on top of Oracle Enterprise Manager and comprises of three major modules namely Setup Manager, Customization Manager and Patch Manager. You can find more information about this pack here (LCM: Oracle Application Change Management Pack Setup Manager is enhanced and advanced version of iSetup on Oracle Enterprise Manager. There were good amount of reasons to re-architect iSetup on Oracle Enterprise Manager as Setup Manager.
Why Setup Manager?
Ability to migrate to data over point releases of EBS – EBS comes up with rollup patches on top of major releases periodically. It means that you have to certify the patch before it get deployed on to production which means that setup data are to be certified again. iSetup cannot connect between 12.0.4 to 12.0.6 or 12.0.6 to 12.1.1. We have achieved the data migration for above scenarios in Setup Manager (11i to R12 is not supported in Setup Manager)
Projects – Setup Manager supports grouping of Extracts, Transforms, Loads and Reports as a single entity and can be deployed multiple times to multiple targets. The project consists of one or more tasks (of type Extract/Load/Transform/Report) and can be orchestrated according to your ends. Project execution supports scheduling which means that you can use this feature to sync up setup data between two instances at periodic internal. Projects can be shared with other users which is remarkable difference between iSetup and Setup Manager. You can share your projects with others in a combined development environment. The functional configuration data (Extracts) are stored in Oracle Enterprise Manager. This means that you can refresh EBS without losing Extracts.
Integration with Change Approval mechanism – Execution of projects is integrated with change approval mechanism which means that you can control who executes what. Also, you have fine grain access control where you can control EBS targets assigned to a user.
Offline Transformation – I would say this is the most unique feature of Setup Manager and as an implementer you would welcome this feature very much. iSetup has got very limited capability on Transformation. Here we have gone way ahead and support Transformation on almost all Setup Objects. We present you the extracted data in excel sheets. You can download the excel template and work offline. All the attribute value fields in the excel sheet are editable which means that you supply your own value. For example, you can download Operating Unit data in xls file and change operating unit “OU100” to “OU200” and upload it back to system and load to target instance. Please note that any attribute of Operating Unit setup data can be edited. Also, system has got intelligence and once you upload the excel sheet, it automatically changes all the inventory organization which belongs to “OU100” to “OU200”. This behavior can be controlled using attribute mapping which you can create in Setup Manager. Hold on, this is not the end, also you can add more operating unit in excel, say OU300 and OU400 and load it to target instance. You can delete few Operating Units from extracted data in excel sheet and load the remaining to target instance. This gives you complete flexibility to manage (add/edit/delete) functional configuration data offline. This is fantastic feature and please have a look at how it works.
Advanced Filtering – Filter support in iSetup is not flexible where you cannot use comma separated values and complex sql join conditions. Also you do not know what query is executed behind the scenes to the data. All this problems are addressed in Setup Manager 3.1. We show you the “select clause” (SQL) associated with interface and provide you a text field where you can refer the select clause and provide your own custom where criteria (SQL). This means that filter support is unlimited and you can set filter any database columns. For example, you can extract “Responsibilities/Menu” which are active or created as on yesterday. You can extract all Operating Units excluding “OU100 and OU200”. We support all filter criteria that are supported by SQL.

Hi,
your note very interesting. Is there any other way to extract the configuration using SQL? not using Enterprise Manager? hope this will be fastest way then using GUI base.
Thanks,
Fahmi Fahlevi

Can you provide links to any tutorial or example (screenshots) of using Setup Manager to transfer something between two environments (say Users or DFFs)?

It takes me a lof of time to comprehend the sentence you write. Cause I am a Chinese. My poor English.
I have to say "you are genius". I used to use the indesign CS2. There is no GREP function in CS2. When I get the new script, I do not know how to use it. Just when I saw the
'grep {findWhat:" +"} {changeTo:" "} {includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false} Find all double spaces and replace with single spaces.'
Being confused.
Thanks so much. It seems I have to relearn the advanced Indesign.

EM10gR2 Grid Control / Change Management Pack does not support TYPE objects

I wonder any Oracle EM10gR2 Grid Control users, implementing Oracle Change Management Pack, have used it for the release and proper packages management.
Issue1 - On an EM console / Web GUI the DDL comparison and synchronization is not supported at all. Implementing it @ customer it appeared that we have to install a 10g Java Client in order to use the code comparison and sync functionalities.
Issue2 - and this is more serious - it appears that even with Java client in use, you cannot compare or sync objects related to TYPE or TYPE BODY data types. The comparison simply hangs.
Asked help from support, they mentioned an ER from 8i and logged a new ER for 10g/11g. That is surprising especially as the doc (http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/A96679_01/toc.htm) about code comparison does not exclude the TYPE objects from the supported options.
Any fellow DBA running to a same problem? What solutions & recommendations might you have?

You need to download and install the Enterprise Manager Grid Control 10.2.0.5. The Management Pack for Oracle Coherence is a licensable option on EM GC. The bits are installed as part of installation of GC. Following are some useful links -

Apex and the Oracle Change Management Pack

Hi everyone
I'm looking for some feedback from anyone that has used the Oracle Change Management Pack (CMP) with an Apex development (or is it really only for Oracle Apps)?
Could the CMP be used against the APEX_04000 schema to sync a Dev environment with Test and Production? If so, this would nicely lead into an Agile approach to development, even perhaps Continuous Deployment :)
I'm concerned that I can't find anything on the web about Apex and the CMP, so I suspect it can't be done :(
Any comments gratefully recieved.

You are going to have to provide a lot more information for anyone to help you from the basic ... like in what version ... to the specific ... what functionality do you want?
In general none of the "packs" run any code not in the database in the form of built-in packages. For example much of the functionality of OEM Grid is implenented in DBMS_ADVISOR, DBMS_MONITOR, DBMS_SERVER_ALERT, etc.
But without specific questions no specific answer is possible.
You can find demos of the above referenced packages here:

I hope this helps.

Change Management without Oracle Change Management Pack

Hello,
is there a possibility to define a change management process without having access to the enterprise manager?
The administration of the databases in our company is done by an outsourcing partner. So the developers can't access the enterprise manager.

How to change management pack in incident template in scsm

We have created customized incident management pack and import that to scsm.Created templates using the this managementpack now i got request to edit or delete some Class properties in the customized managment pack.I have exported the management pack and
trying to edit the Class properties but those are Grey out.
Please let me know that how can i Edit or Delete the Class Properties in Customized management pack.
And Also let me know that i have created Templates using Customized management pack if i delete that mp and import a new mp in to SCSM how can i update the template with new mp.I tied to chnage the management pack in template but it is greyout.
Regards, H@ri

In which management pack are your class extension stored? Is this a sealed management pack (did you seal the management pack)? If it is a sealed MP than you have to modify the unsealed MP and seal it again with the same key.
If you export a sealed MP from SCSM it will be an unsealed copy of the MP but it doesn't work to modify this exported MP. So this is not an option.
If you want to delete custom properties in a MP you have to make sure that these properties aren't in use in the templates or work items.

Change Management Pack

Hii All
Is there any way to see who has made changes on a object ? like a Terminal name or ip address. I cant see this information in dictionary baselines.
Best Regards

In 10.1.0.4, you can download and install the Change manager from the Client Companion CD. This still has the look and feel of OEM 9i since it's running on JAVA.
I understand this will get incorporated with GC in the next release.
