Locks are used to reduce concurrency
SHARE LOCK—it allows the other users for only reading not to insert or update or delete.
EXCLUSIVE LOCK— only one user can have the privileges of insert or update and delete of particular object others can only read.
UPDATE LOCK—-multiple user can read, update delete
Lock levels :
1) TABLE LEVEL
2) TABLE SPACE
3) DATABASE LEVEL.

None: validation is minimal.
Independent ——input must exist on previously defined list of values
Dependent ——input is checked against a subset of values based on a prior value.
Table —– input is checked against values in an application table
Special ——values set uses a flex field itself.
Pair —— two flex fields together specify a range of valid values.
Translatable independent —– input must exist on previously defined list of values; translated values can be used.
Translatable dependent ——- input is checked against a subset of values based on a prior values; translated value can be used.

I recently profiled the CPADMIN utility for EBS 12.2.6 that consolidates various CP management functions into a single menu-based tool. This ADADMIN-style utility can:
This tool has been backported to EBS 12.2.3, 12.2.4, and 12.2.5 via Patch 24408550:
In case you missed it, this tool is also available for EBS 12.1.3.

Oracle has been shipping an Oracle Exadata configuration that runs Oracle’s T and M-series (SPARC) microprocessors for more than 2 years. This database machine is called Oracle SuperCluster.
Technically, SuperCluster has always included every single Exadata feature of note. This is because every SuperCluster configuration is built around the same Exadata Storage Serversand InfiniBand switches that are used in every other Exadata system configuration.

In the case of the SuperCluster configurations, however, we have added Oracle T and M-series microprocessors to the compute nodes (used for running Oracle Database and other software) and ZS3-ES storage (used for pre-11gR2 Oracle Database storage, virtual machine images and other data needed by the system). SuperCluster is a ‘hybrid’ system that integrates both x86 processors and Oracle’s T and M-series microprocessors in the interest of achieving the greatest flexibility, performance, efficiency and reliability possible.
Both SuperCluster and Exadata X-series configurations are equally well suited to all of the major classes of Oracle Database use cases: OLTP, Data Warehouse, Database Consolidation and Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS). There are technical differences, however, which make SuperCluster the right first choice for some customers or projects.
SuperCluster offers several important features that are not available today in other Exadata configurations:
Exadata configurations, on the other hand, offer some capabilities that are essential in some cases:
So which configuration should you choose?
The guidance we offer customers about whether to choose an Exadata or SuperCluster configuration is fairly simple: both Exadata and SuperCluster configurations are equally optimized for Oracle Database and can, in fact, be deployed together to create a single system for customers that require maximum flexibility. For customers currently running Oracle Database (or other databases) in mission-critical deployments on UNIX/RISC platforms (such as Power, SPARC or Itanium), SuperCluster would be the natural first candidate because of it’s familiarity, technical similarity and feature set. Conversely, customers running Oracle Database with Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) in commodity x86 server environments will likely find the Exadata X-series configurations to be the most natural first choice. In most cases, the decision about which configuration to deploy will be driven by technical needs, and the distinctions outlined above are sufficiently straightforward to interpret without appreciable risk or uncertainty.
We’ve previously provided advice on the general priorities for applying EBS updates and creating a comprehensive maintenance strategy.
Here are our latest upgrade recommendations for E-Business Suite updates and technology stack components. These quarterly recommendations are based upon the latest updates to Oracle’s product strategies, latest support timelines, and newly-certified releases.
You can research these yourself using this Note:
