In this article we will discuss high level to-do list & tools available to take the BIG step to move to Oracle Fusion & all that it has to offer. To minimize risk on the upgrade project Few questions any implementers needs answering are Do we have? & Automated Migration from EBS
· Migration of data from EBS to a separately-installed instance of Fusion.
· Flexible Migration Architecture
· Well-defined Process and Packaged Migration Tools
· Well defined functional & technical migration approaches
· Pre-migration, migration and post-migration steps
· Data cleansing and validation steps at each stage
· Extensible to support customers own extensions
· Pre-packaged and pre-tested migration lowers risk & uncertainty
· Framework extensibility allows partners & customers to add value
What will be migrated?
o Set-up data will either be migrated or mapped
o Transactional data will be migrated
o Controlled schema customizations will be migrated- Example Descriptive Flex Fields
What will NOT be migrated?
o Non-controlled Schema Customization
o Business logic customization – For instance, Extension using API hooks
o User Interface customization - For instance, OA Personalization Framework customizations in e-Business Suite will not be migrated.
o Oracle Forms personalization and customizations
o Oracle Workflows customizations
o Analytics/Report customization

Migration offering is designed to migrate data from an on-premise installation of EBS to an on-premise instance of Fusion
· Migrate all or nothing from a single database instance
What modules can be migrated?
Upgrade Steps Like Any Other UpgradeWould include Planning , Preparation , Down Time & Post-Migration however in this case Pre-Migration needs to be plan more carefully to include
First step is to do Pre-Migration reporting & Readiness from Diagnostic Dashboard in EBS to obtain A high level list of potential impacts to customer’s implementation
Subsequently run Readiness report (Summary & Detail)
• Give a summary picture per product on what will not be migrated to Fusion
• Prepares the customer for potential areas to review and take action before embarking on migration
• Detailed exception report for all products
• Provided more detailed report various entities that will be migrated and will not be migrated.
Use EBS To Fusion Data Migration offering in Fusion Setup Manager (after Completing Source data cleanup & Validation)
Complete Domain value mapping& System preparation for data migration (Domain value maps (DVM) are mapping tables to store mapping between source and target values), validate preparation & migration setup,steps
Complete data migration using ODI interfaces (more details refer ODI Scenarios Orchestration)
Complete Validationusing ODI with BI Publisher reports
• Stage-wise migration provides a mechanism to validate and correct issues as they occur
• Central way of defining & executing tests/validations.
• Integrated with FSM for orchestration of these tests during migration
Complete Pre-Down time & Down Time Activities
Perform Post migration tasks & Validate Transaction , Migration using traditional methods used for any Upgrade eg Reconcile your transactions using Spreadsheets (OTBI reports),Setup data using FSM export import functionality etc
That’s is for now we will talk about more fusion functionality in future articles!!
