I attended the R12 Financials Upgrade web conference by Oracle today morning 11AM EST. The conference was crisp, up-to-date. This was my first web conference.
Few things that I learnt are:
1) Distributed AD is a good feature and we need to try. If used with Shared Appl_Top, this feature is more productive
2) R12 upgrade creates more objects during the upgrade (in Payables, Accounting and so on) than any upgrade so far. The Optimizer Dynamic Sampling is a feature in R12 upgrade that dynamically gathers stats for those objects that are created during upgrade and are heavily queried.
3) The custom files can now be registered through OAM and are called ‘Flagged Files’. Earlier the files were listed in $APPL_TOP/admin/applcust.txt. The files are now stored in the table.
4) R12 has the largest number of files, and database objects so far in any database, understandably.
Many more features were discussed and a detailed overview will be updated to the blog very soon.
