Executive Summary
The DBA Editioned Object Summary report is essential for managing Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2+ environments, which use Edition-Based Redefinition (EBR) for online patching. It provides a summary of how many objects exist in each “Edition”. This is critical for monitoring the cleanup process (adop phase=cleanup) and managing the growth of the database.
Business Challenge
- Storage Growth: “Why is the database growing so fast? Are we keeping too many old patch editions?”
- Patching Health: “Did the cleanup phase of the last patch cycle actually remove the obsolete objects?”
- Performance: “Are we suffering from dictionary performance issues due to having 500 old editions?”
Solution
This report summarizes the count of editioned objects (Views, PL/SQL, Synonyms) per edition.
Key Features:
- Edition Name: The name of the patch edition (e.g.,
V_20230101_1200). - Object Count: Number of actual objects vs. “stub” objects.
- Active Status: Identifies the current Run and Patch editions.
Architecture
The report queries OBJ$, USER$, and DBA_USERS.
Key Tables:
OBJ$: The core object table (includes theEDITION_NAMEcolumn).DBA_OBJECTS_AE: The view showing all editioned objects.
Impact
- Space Reclamation: Identifies when it’s safe (and necessary) to run a full cleanup to reclaim space.
- System Hygiene: Ensures the database doesn’t become cluttered with thousands of obsolete object versions.
- Patching Success: Verifies that the Online Patching cycle is completing all its housekeeping tasks.
Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library
We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.
Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.
Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.
The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.
The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
If you would like to optimize your Oracle EBS implementation and or operational reporting you can visit www.enginatics.com to review great ideas and example usage in blog. Or why not try for yourself in our demo environment.
