FORM PERSONALIZATION
What they are: With the Oracle EBS release 11.5.10, Oracle has
introduced a mechanism which revolutionizes the way forms can be
customized to fulfill customer needs. Oracle has provided a simple
and easy feature to implement customer specific requirements
without modifying the underlying forms code. The personalization
feature provided in the latest release is easy, faster and requires
minimum development effort.
CHANGED DB OBJECTS
What they are: Forms are used to view and edit data in databasedriven applications. Oracle EBS uses thousandsof forms to provide
all the business logic in its different modules. These forms are the
front end user interface to oracle EBS users, which are used on a
daily basis for executing organizational business processes.
How theyre affected by an upgrade: Due to the fact that in the R12
release Oracle implemented major changes in the core architecture
(e.g. EBS Suite Tax Management and Sub Ledger Accounting),
many tables, views and other objects were impacted. Oracle
customers will find as many as 708 standard objects removed
after upgrading to R12 and as many as 395 objects that became
obsolete. Obsolete objects are especially hard to identify, because
the objects exist in R12 but are no longer supported by Oracle and
new data will not be documented any more in these objects.
