Earlier this year we released a reporting tool that reports on the differences in E-Business Suite database objects between one release and another.  That's a very useful reference, but EBS defaults are delivered as seed data within the database objects themselves. What about the differences in this seed data between one release and another?

I'm pleased to announce the availability of a new tool that provides comparison reports of E-Business Suite seed data between EBS 11.5.10.2, 12.0.4, 12.0.6, 12.1.1, and 12.1.3.  This new tool complements the information in the data model comparison tool.  You can download the new seed data comparison tool here:

• EBS ATG Seed Data Comparison Report (Note 1327399.1)
  

The EBS ATG Seed Data Comparison Report provides report on the changes between different EBS releases based upon the seed data changes delivered by the product data loader files (.ldt extension) based on EBS ATG loader control (.lct extension) files.  You can use this new tool to report on the differences in the following types of seed data:

• Concurrent Program definitions
• Descriptive Flexfield entity definitions
• Application Object Library profile option definitions
• Application Object Library (AOL) key flexfield, function, lookups, value set definitions
• Application Object Library (AOL) menu and responsibility definitions
• Application Object Library messages
• Application Object Library request set definitions
• Application Object Library printer styles definitions
• Report Manager / WebADI component and integrator entity definitions
• Business Intelligence Publisher (BI Publisher) entity definitions
• BIS Request Set Generator entity definitions
• ... and more

Your feedback is welcome

This new tool was produced by our hard-working EBS Release Management team, and they're actively seeking your feedback.  Please feel free to share your experiences with it by posting a comment here.  You can also request enhancements to this tool via the distribution list address included in Note 1327399.1.
