Oracle R12 Upgrade.
Why upgrade?
With the exception of guaranteeing ongoing product support, organizations typically only consider upgrading if there is a compelling business reason. Some of the major benefits of upgrading include:
- Obtaining a more robust and scalable architecture. Upgrading can provide advanced database capabilities, better integration, newer extensions and personalization, and improved security for enterprise applications.
- Enhancing efficiency. Upgrading can lay the foundation for a shared services model, enable the easy design of multiple tax models, and introduce newer, more flexible accounting elements.
- Streamlining compliance. Obtaining compliance with industry regulations can be greatly simplified by upgrading to a newer version of the application. For example, new features in Oracle EBS R12 include alternate accounting representations, revenue management, and transaction sequencing.
- Enabling more efficient collaboration. Enterprise application extensions can provide a platform for collaborating with all trading partners leading to greater efficiencies in inventory, procurement, and logistics costs.
- Well-defined project phases with associated deliverables
- structured training sessions to aid fuller understanding and choices for implementation of business-relevant enhancements
- Phased acceptance to aid risk mitigation
- A set of re-usable artifacts, aiding remote execution and helping provide clients with cost advantages
- Comprehensive problem solving practices that reflect the collective set of our experiences
- Facilitation of a consistent and predictable customer experience
- Provision of a robust project management structure :
- It contains a licensed derivative of Project Management Institutes (PMI) & Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK)
- a customizable set of activities and tools that are relevant to across engagements
- a framework and a common language for our consultants, project managers, and client team members
- Elimination of guess work and ambiguity from an engagement
Conclusion
It is important to keep the upgrade vs. reimplementation discussion in the context of the overall transition to R12. First understand what the R12 target needs to be. Compare that to the 11i instance(s). Itemize and inventory everything that needs to change. Then consider how you would make each change via upgrade (with expertise Transformation software plus Oracle upgrade), and via reimplement (implement it and migrate your historical data). A parallel analysis considers everything in the 11i instance(s) that does not need to change on the path to R12. When planning the transition to R12, focus on the components that are dependent on the specific transition methods. Cost/benefit and resource expenditure analyses will assist in your transition planning, specifically aiding you in deciding which method will be best for your organizations adoption of R12 and the new features that come along with it.

MDF corruption and its recovery
Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database which stores and retrieves data as per the need of other software applications. This software allows the access of various application programs either running on the same computer or on another across the same network. It is relational webhosting database which stores website information like blog posts or user information. It is one of the most popular databases on Windows servers and is highly suitable for several business purposes.
MS SQL stores all the data and information in MDF file format which holds the relevant data of user information and website details. These files contain all important data of any organization and perform various critical operations. It becomes very disgusting if these MDF files get corrupted or damaged somehow. As every software has the tendency to get corrupted or damaged, these MDF files never let any assurance not to corrupt. In the case of SQL corruption, the users need not to be worried as there are such tools available which can perform MS SQL recovery very efficiently.
There are various predictable and unpredictable causes that affect the MS SQL database and make the MDF files corrupted resulting in a situation of data loss. The reasons that cause SQL damage are summarized below:
1.Corrupted/deleted LDF log file
2.I/O errors
3.Corruption in the MDF file of SQL database Server
4.SQL Database in “suspected” mode
5.Deletion of items (like tables, system objects, records etc)
6.Virus attack or power failure
7.Bad sector in storage media
8.Maximization of the storage space of SQL database
When there is a corruption in the MDF files, users face numerous errors while opening the database. Some common error messages are easily encountered when a corrupted/ damaged MS SQL file is opened. Some errors can appear prompting on your screen. Some of these are:
1.Server can’t find the requested database table
2.The process could not execute ‘sp_replcmds’ on server
3.The file *.mdf is missing and needs to restore
4.Internal error. buffer provided to read column value is too small
5.Table Corrupt
6.File: , line=466 Failed Assertion = ‘0’
7.Table error: Object ID 0, index ID 0, and page ID (1:105). The PageId in the page header = (0:0)
8.Conflict occurred in databasedb_name, table ‘table_name’, column ‘column_name’
Once your MS SQL database corrupts, you need to search an effective software utility that can recover the MDF files and retrieve data from the corrupt/ damaged database. The MS SQL recovery software should be capable of recovering all lost/ damaged tables, triggers, stored procedures, data structures like primary keys, indices, unique keys, foreign keys, predefined defaults and other user data types. Further, the repair tool must possess some powerful algorithms which maintain the data integrity and never change the original format of the data.
