Oracle Fusion - Implementation and Maintenance

If your Oracle Fusion system is already stable and you are only doing small development work, then you can get away with having a single test/production environment. However, there are a few factors to consider when making this decision:

• The criticality of the system. If the system is mission-critical, then you may want to have a separate test environment to ensure that any changes you make do not impact production data.
• The frequency of changes. If you are making frequent changes to the system, then it may be helpful to have a separate test environment so that you can test the changes in isolation before deploying them to production.
• The resources available. If you have limited resources, then you may not be able to afford to maintain two separate environments.

Ultimately, the decision of how many environments to maintain is up to you. However, if you can afford it, it is generally a good idea to have a separate test environment for any mission-critical system.

In your case, since the system is already stable and you are only doing small development work, I would recommend having a single test/production environment. This will save you the cost and complexity of maintaining two separate environments.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind when deciding how many Oracle Fusion environments to maintain:

• The size of the system. A larger system will require more resources, so you may need to have more environments to accommodate it.
• The security requirements. If the system has strict security requirements, then you may need to have separate environments for different users or departments.
• The business needs. The specific needs of your organization will also play a role in determining how many environments you need.
