Personalization Vs Extension Vs Customization
In
Oracle EBS development, the terms Personalization, Customizations
& Extensions are often used interchangeably. It often creates
confusion among developers regarding the meaning of these terms. These
terms are critically important terms that developers must understand
and use properly. Let’s discuss them briefly here to simply understand
what they are.
What is Personalization?
Personalization is the process of making changes to the User Interface (UI) from within an Oracle E-Business Suite Form/Page. It is possible to make personalization to both Form-based and OA Framework based pages.
What is Extension?
Extension is the process
of making changes to the programmatic (i.e., PL/SQL or Java) elements
of an E-Business Suite form/page. It is possible to extend both Forms
based and OA Framework-based pages.
What is Customization?
Customization is the process
of creating new forms/pages. While Oracle does provide tools to do
this (i.e., Oracle Forms and JDeveloper), this is the least supported
option.
