Key Considerations while planning EBS 12.2 Upgrade

Upgrade Roadmap — There are multiple upgrade options — ‘like-to-like Upgrades’ with minimal changes to processes to ‘Transformational Upgrades’ that involve large-scale functionality and process changes to existing solutions.

Upgrade Scope — The majority of upgrades will involve CEMLI (Customization, Extension, Modification, Localization, Integration) upgrade, functional testing, and an Infrastructure migration to Cloud (OCI/AWS/Azure). Businesses need a tool that understands the database size, performance parameters, module footprint, complexity of business flows, the volume of CEMLIs that need a retrofit to provide accurate sizing of upgrade scope.

CEMLI Retrofit — There are many database-related changes between 12.1 & 12.2, and it is challenging and time-consuming to address the changes reactively. The impact of EBR changes is critical in planning the size and complexity of the upgrade.

End to End Testing — Rigorous test iterations are required to ensure there is no broken functionality in the upgraded environment. For ‘like-to-like upgrades, the IT team should test all the business test scenarios to ensure minimal disruption during project cycles.
