• CEMLI - Upgrade Analyzer Tool
• Configuration Migration Tool
• Object Migration technique
• Live data integration during cutover
db IMPACT
• Evaluation of existing customizations and estimating the effort
• A tool which provides detail assessment on CEMLI.
The major features and advantages of this application:
• Lists all custom objects in Oracle EBS 11i/R12 existing release
• Impact analysis of all custom code migration to R12 target release
• Effort estimate on migration to new R12 target release
• Suggesting how the impacted custom code can be migrated to R12 target release
• Tracking the status of the custom code migration
• Upgrade Impact Statistics will be available over the cloud and can be tracked
for completion

Configuration Migration
Challenges involved in Up-Gradation Projects
• Identifying the sequences of configuration steps to be followed
• Ensure the dependency task completion
• Manual Efforts involved for each configurations
• Different migration methods to be identified and followed (Manual, Data Loader, SQL
