 The Database Advanced Security Option (ASO) in Oracle E-Business Suite enhances data protection by enabling transparent data encryption (TDE) and network encryption. TDE helps secure sensitive data at rest—such as customer, financial, or HR data—by encrypting database files without requiring changes to applications. Network encryption ensures secure communication between the EBS application and the database by encrypting data in transit. Together, these features help organizations meet compliance requirements, mitigate the risk of data breaches, and strengthen the overall security posture of their Oracle EBS environments without impacting performance or user experience. Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) for Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Database is a crucial security feature that ensures sensitive data is encrypted at rest, helping organizations meet compliance, privacy, and regulatory requirements. Here’s a concise overview tailored to Oracle EBS: TDE is an Oracle Database feat...

 Implementing a Disaster Recovery (DR) strategy for Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) between on-premises and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) involves carefully planning data replication, failover, and recovery to ensure business continuity. Below are best practices to help you build a robust, secure, and cost-effective DR architecture. Oracle E-Business Suite DR Best Practices (On-Prem to OCI) 1. Architect a DR Topology Based on Business Needs Active-Passive (Cold or Warm DR) : EBS runs on-prem; OCI is the failover site. Cold Standby : Cost-effective; environment is spun up only during failover. Warm Standby : EBS application tier is always available, but database is synchronized. 2. Use Oracle Data Guard for Database Synchronization Oracle Data Guard (Physical Standby) is the recommended method to replicate the EBS database to OCI. Enables real-time or near-real-time replication of the on-prem DB to OCI. Supports Fast-Start Failover and Snapshot Standby f...
