`Preface
`
`This manual contains information about new features and enhancements added
`between Release 11.0 Release 11i of Oracle Applications products. It also describes
`the changes made to database objects, profile options, and seed data for the same
`interval. This preface explains how to use this manual and describes the
`conventions used throughout.
`Note: Your Oracle Applications must be at either the Release 10.7
`or 11.0 level to upgrade to Release 11i.
`Intended Audience
`This manual is written for the persons responsible for upgrading Oracle
`Applications products. They may include application specialist, database
`administrator, system administrator, and others. For a complete list and a
`description of responsibilities, see the Preface, Upgrading Oracle Applications
`.
`How to Use This Manual
`Use this manual to plan an upgrade of Oracle Applications products. It will help
`you determine what new features and enhancements are included and the changes
`you may need to make to your customizations after the upgrade.
`The chapters are arranged in alphabetic order by product name. Where appropriate,
`they include update information about Public Sector versions. For example, Oracle
`General Ledger includes information about both Oracle General Ledger and Oracle
`Public Sector General Ledger. Each chapter is divided into several major sections.
`They include information about:

`
`
`
`New Features and Enhancements
`List the features and enhancements that have been added for each Oracle
`Applications product between Release 11.0 and Release 11i.
`Modules, Database Objects, Seed Data, Setup Steps
`List the types of modules, database objects, seed data, setup steps, and other
`elements of Oracle Applications that were added, changed or made obsolete. For
`more information about database objects, refer to the product-specific Technical
`Reference Manual and the appropriate technical reference manual for the Oracle
`Business Intelligence System (BIS).
`If one of these elements is not listed, there were no changes between Release 11.0
`and Release 11i. Likewise, if there is no chapter for a particular product, the latest
`version of the product is not included in Release 11i, or the product has no changes
`since Release 11.0.
`Related Documents
`All Release 11i documentation is included on the Oracle Applications Document
`Library CD, supplied in your Release 11i CD Pack. You can download soft-copy
`documentation from http://docs. oracle.com. Or, you can purchase hard-copy
`documentation from the Oracle Store at http://oraclestore.oracle.com.
`The Oracle Business Intelligence System has been integrated into Oracle
`Applications for this release. The BIS Technical Reference Manual
` includes objects that
`
`are related only to BIS code. The Business Objects Technical Reference Manual includes
`objects related to all products that have a Logical Data Model (LDM) and business
`views related to the LDM. The Logical Data Model
` is a diagram of a logical business
`flow. You should review the LDM first to see if the structure fits your business
`needs. Then review the Business Objects TRM to understand what views are
`avail
