Ten Typical Uses for iSetup

1. A first time EBS implementation involves a manual setup using either Business Accelerators or a manual entry. iSetup can help jump-start such implementation scenarios by loading a CRP instance from an industry best practice configuration.
    
2. iSetup provides an enterprise wide repository to store business specific configuration snapshots. These Gold copies can be used to configure a new instance, thus avoiding re-configurations.
    
3. iSetup expedites implementations by providing out-of-the-box migration templates tailored to suit various implemenation phases.
    
4. iSetup can also help promote setups from CRP to multiple test, development and production environments. iSetup enforces business validations inherent in interfaces owned by Oracle product modules. iSetup abstracts the complex setup dependencies across functional modules by orchestrating the deployment of setups during migration.
    
5. iSetup can be used to copy all setups striped by an Operating Unit and move it to another EBS instance using Hierarchical selection set feature which cascades filter criteria to all related setups in the selection set template.
    
6. In a roll-out scenario, iSetup can be used to replicate the setups tied to an existing Operating Unit to a new Operating Unit; similarly replicate Payroll Element setups tied to existing Business Group to new Business Group using Transformation feature which cascade the changes to all related setups in the selection set template.
    
7. iSetup can be used to migrate incremental setups selectively across instances using filters on setup attributes.
    
8. Instead of cloning the entire EBS instance, iSetup can be used to move required setup data from a production instance to a testing instance. New setups can be added to the test instance and those specific setups can be selectively migrated to production instance while the instance is up and running. This minimizes the need to redo setups, and execute expensive clone activities.
    
9. iSetup provides standard and comparison reporting features. Standard reports help in documenting the setups in regular PDF/RTF/Excel that serve as a standard reference for implementation teams. Release 12.1 also supports BR100 styled reports. iSetup also generates detailed deployment reports for post implementation audits and sign-offs (coming soon in 12.1).
    
10. iSetup comparison reports can help in troubleshooting functional setups by enabling users to compare setups across instances or timelines.
