Administrative Challenges in E-Business Suite 12.1

In E-Business Suite 12.1, AccessGate and WebGate

are deployed external to both E-Business Suite andIdentity Management

This poses some administrative challenges:

More system resources

Longer time to integrate

More manual steps can lead to incorrect configurations

Complexity in cloning flows

Multiplied when managing large numbers of instances
