Upgrade with Rapid e-Suite to Oracle Release 12

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 TARs to resolve issues

Implementations for

Oracle

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 CEMLIs 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

What are your Options ? Re-Implementation

Implementations for

Oracle

A complete rebuild, reimplement and data migration project Leave behind the old ways and start afresh Lengthy process Significant disruption to the business No downtime on the production server needed Costly to the business Not a favorite option to many

Impacts

What are your Options ? Automated Re-Implementation

Implementations for

Oracle

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

Only from Rapid e-Suite

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

How do we do it ?

Implementations for

Oracle

The Tools

The Service
EXTRACT [uses REVERSE]
For each operating unit there are 3 extractions
Configurations Master data Closed transactions and Open transactions

Implementations for

Oracle

Reverse is Fast ..
Data is extracted in a BR100 format enabling full documentation almost immediately

The Service
TRANSFORM [uses CONFIGURATOR]
Configurations

Implementations for

Oracle

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

The Service
TRANSFORM [uses CONFIGURATOR]
Configurations

Implementations for

Oracle

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

Or select a printer icon at ANY level and get a BR100 document immediately of the configurations

10

The Service
TRANSFORM [uses CONFIGURATOR]
Master Data

Implementations for

Oracle

The Master data is mapped to R12 formats

Transformation rules are applied if any exist
Changes to the COA, item coding structures, instance level standards changes, etc

The same is done for master data

11

The Service
TRANSFORM [uses CONFIGURATOR]
Transactions [including all history]

Implementations for

Oracle

The Transaction data is mapped to R12 formats

Transformation rules are applied if any exist
Changes to the COA, item coding structures, instance level standards changes, etc

And transaction history

12

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 APIs FORMS or HTML The package is provided by CONFIGURATOR- this contains all the dependency sequence and the steps to execute

15

Implementations for

Oracle

Sample code correction

The tool highlights the error

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

All the objects that use the above code are listed

16

SAMPLE UNIT TEST

Test Concurrent Report

Implementations for

Oracle

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.

17

SAMPLE UNIT TEST

Review Underlying Corrections

Implementations for

Oracle

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

Implementations for

Oracle

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

20

What you get

Changes to
the COA or any other configurations

Implementations for

Oracle

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

21

What you get

Your CEMLIs
Will be converted as identified by the Panaya tool Some CEMLIs may not be able to be upgraded Some CEMLIs may be replaced by R12 functionality

Switch the the new R12 instance at any time using the new URL
The 11i URL is immediately available as a fall back position

Your old 11i system

Keep it for as long as you require Downgrade the hardware to a test type server Mothball the 11i system at any time

What do you save

No downtime on your production server A project that takes 50% or less of the time for a technical upgrade Ability to continue making business changes to the instance Minimal disruption to the business

22

Benefits of the Rapid e-Suite solution

Implementations for

Oracle

No downtime on the production server No need to freeze business for 9-18 months

make configurations changes Add new inventory organizations Add new operating units Continue your business as normal

Upgrade
one operating unit at a time, groups of operating units Or all operating units do it as the business allows

Make configuration changes

Such as changing the COA SLA Multi Org
