RETHINK CUPID
Many enterprise customers customize Oracle EBS to suit their business needs. While this helps their business run efficiently and
effectively, the custom code creates issues while upgrading EBS to the next version.
With the introduction of Oracle Fusion Applications, customers planning for a migration from existing EBS versions will have to
upgrade to E-Business Release 12 as a prerequisite.
Before such an upgrade, an impact analysis is done to identify various aspects of the deployment. One of the aspects is the
amount of customization and, in turn, the custom objects. The more custom code, the more time, resources and cost it will take to
upgrade.
Since an E-Business version upgrade is essential for embracing Oracle Fusion Applications, CUPID helps reduce the manual effort
of scanning through a large custom-code base. CUPID helps identify custom code in the source version that requires
modifications before migrating to the target version.
It also provides a flexible reporting framework for tailored reporting on the percentage of customization, custom objects per
functional domain, and customizations by application modules.
