Overview of Lifecycle Management

Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager includes capabilities for managing Oracle E-Business Suite environments: adding and deleting nodes, cloning an environment, backing up an environment, refreshing an environment, provisioning Oracle Enterprise Framework, and deleting an environment.

Prior to performing these activities, set the Region field in the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager header to the region which contains the environment or environments you wish to manage.

Supported Operations

The following table lists the types of operations you can perform with each type of environment.

Note: In the table below and elsewhere in the discussion of disaster recovery, the non-primary environment is referred to as the disaster recovery (DR) environment. The term "standby environment" is reserved for use for those created in reduced downtime lift-and-shift migration.

Table 14-1 Types of Environments and Available Tasks

Note that if you have a standard environment with disaster recovery implemented, it is your primary environment and you cannot perform the following actions: refresh, delete, add or delete nodes, or provision Enterprise Command Center Framework. If you delete the DR environment associated with a primary environment, it then becomes a standard environment as listed in the first row of the table above.
