Stat for Oracle E-Business Suite

Simplify Your R12 Upgrade to Get Improved Change Management

Stat for Oracle E-Business is a change management solution that provides you with increased visibility into – and control over – application changes, allowing your organization to be more responsive to the change process. If you’re planning on migrating to Oracle R12 in the near future, it’s no secret that the upgrade is resource intensive and time consuming to say the least. Stat ensures your Oracle R12 upgrade is seamless and undisruptive to routine business through version control, impact analysis, object/file locking, automated workflow, migrations management and powerful reporting and auditing capabilities. Ensure your organization is fully equipped for the upgrade by implementing the Stat for Oracle E-Business Suite today!

Integrated with Oracle E-Business Suite
  • Simplify R12 upgrades
  • Replace Kintana to reduce OpEx and future-proof Oracle EBS support
  • Enforce separation of duties for improved compliance
  • Simplify migration with pre- and post-migration analytics
  • Automate rollback through native object support
  • Support for functional setups
  • Evaluate impact and scheduling of patches
  • Manage all apps from one repository for easier auditing

  • Third-Party Version Control Support – Archive and migrate objects from SVN, CVS and PVCS.
  • Custom Reports – Create reports according to unique requirements, including global parameters definitions, additional fields from the SQL query, layout and style preferences, and more.
  • Pre- and Post-Migration Steps on Distributed Environments – View and execute both post- and pre-migration steps on distributed databases from the window that comes up after a migration.
  • Pre- and Post-Migration Steps on Mass Migrations – Run the steps directly from the Mass Migration wizard as opposed to having to open each individual CSR.
  • Customized Migration Order – Specify the migration order in the Mass Migration Wizard for automatic CSR moves.
  • Automated Patching – Automate and enforce pre-determined, best-practice, and optimized change management processes, minimizing risk of manual error and allowing developers and DBAs to focus on higher-value activities.
  • Impact Analysis – Identify the impact that object modifications and patches have on other objects as the changes cascade through the system. This comprehensive analysis provides you with a complete report of all changes impacting a given instance, allowing for a more streamlined testing process. In addition, to determine the line-by-line impact of a past or future change, Stat provides support for comparing Oracle Form (FMB), Oracle Form Library (PLL), and Oracle Report (RDF) files.
  • Object Compare for Object Management – Compare Oracle E-Business Suite setups with most AOL setup types. You can compare Oracle E-Business Suite setups to more than 100 additional setup types for several application modules including Order Management General Ledger and others. This capability improves visibility into what has changed and allows you to compare the differences between changes — simplifying the planning for development and testing stages of the application.
  • Workflow for Project and Process Management – Track all issues, automate team processes, group tasks by project, assign status requirements and provide approval authorization. You can manage this from one central location, through either the Stat client for the Web or for Windows.
  • Regulatory Compliance Management – Ensure compliance by locking out and auditing unauthorized changes to an application. Stat enforces change policies via workflow, role-based security rights and audits of any and all changes to the underlying business logic. Stat also provides compliance-related reports for easily achieving compliance objectives.
