Stat 6.3 - System Administration Guide

Updating Products

Each of your Oracle Applications environments may feature a different set of Oracle Applications products. In order to utilize Stat’s change management support for the proprietary file objects in your Oracle Applications environments, as well as apply product-specific Oracle patches to the appropriate environments, you need to specify the products that each environment contains. For Oracle Apps Setup objects, each environment may have a different list of active products. To retrieve the proper list of Setup Objects in Stat, it is imperative that the list of products are updated. This is done in the Products tab.

Except for the Active check box, the Products tab is read-only. It displays a list of all the products contained in the selected environment along with their release level. When you first define an environment, install new Oracle Applications products to a particular environment, create a custom product, or apply a maintenance pack, you should update the environment’s product list. To do this, select the environment you want to retrieve the product list for and click Update Products. This sends a request to the Stat Oracle Agent, which updates the list with any fully installed, shared, or custom products it finds for the selected environment. To deactivate a product, deselect Active

In case an environment is retired and no longer needed, you may select the environment and click the Delete Products button in order to remove the list of products for that environment..

NOTE: You can also update the products list of an environment in the Products tab of the Application Options window, which you open from the Oracle Application Environment Connection Maintenance table.

When updating products, be aware of the following considerations:

Languages

In the Languages tab you configure Stat to support change management for language-specific, proprietary Oracle Applications file objects as well as translation patches. The Language tab is read-only. It displays a list of all the languages enabled for all environments. The default language is American English. You can update the list for any Oracle Application environment first by selecting an environment in the dropdown list and then clicking Update Languages.

To deactivate a language, deselect Active.

If you need to migrate AOL objects in multiple language versions, do the following to configure language support AOL object in Stat.

NOTE: The following objects are exceptions: XDO Templates, XDO Translations, OAF Component XML, and XDF Editioning View (R12.2). Also, no prompt is displayed if only American English is installed.

Patch Prerequisites

In the Patch Prerequisites tab you specify the default environment against which Stat will process patch prerequisite requests whenever users upload and save a patch. Specifying a default environment is optional.

Oracle Applications Connection Maintenance

The Oracle Applications Connections Maintenance table defines the Oracle Applications environments and servers that Stat can connect to. These are the environments available for selection on CSRs and the various object wizards. Within the definition for each environment is the information Stat needs to connect to it.

Oracle Applications connection security is controlled by the following user class rights:

The Oracle Application Connection Maintenance table is displayed in a standard maintenance window. To open this window, select Maintenance | General | Oracle Applications Connect.
