In this case you have to apply patches on every application node.

Also the answer depends on EBS

release number. If it’s 11i, then you have to start patching from node where administration server is
located. Reason for that – adpatch runs database part of unified driver only on node where
administration server is located.
Release R12 eliminated need for DBAs to pay attention at patching sequence. Here is quote from
R12 concepts: “There is no concept of an Administration server in Release 12. By default, patching
can be undertaken from any application tier node.”

Q. Is it required to run autoconfig on all nodes in case of Shared Application Tier multi-node
installation?
Yes. All configuration files created by AutoConfig are stored under the Instance Home. So to update
all Instance Homes it’s required to run autoconfig on each node.

implementation.
Log in implementation manager (Application user)
Important points while configure offering:-
1. Provisioned :-
2. Revisit offering page:- enabled only core financial offering and accouting hub offering.
Task status- task owner updated the status of task (in progress, errors, completed)
Task manage currencies.

Import and export data:- every implementation plan need to move data from one instance to
another..f.g you want to move the final configuration from UAT to production instance upon
sign-off from business users. – this feature – manage configuration package page- manage
import and export page.

High level import export:- adding a new offering or enhancing or modififying the existing
offering.

Once configuration is ready then it is ready to move from source to target.

1. Identify a need of requirement

2. Make set up change using fsm
3. Validate and test transcations.
4. Create configuration package.

Review comparison report
Perform pre-import manual tasks.
Import setup data
Run import process.
Perform trasactions.

Create a configuration packager:-

1. Export task only
2. Export both task list and setup data( business objects)
3. Review alter import sequence _ we load dependencies for successful import.
4. We select which business objects needed to be excluded ( by default all get exported)

Compare configuration package in target instance – comparison page opens.(under

setup and maintence page) .
Mismatch (source 1, source2 , both)
Implementation process per offering.- easy for export and import.

Us companies need to pay corporation tax or company tax on the earning and report
the financial figures to the international revenue services. We capture this reporting
