Lessons Learnt • Access • Personalization is a powerful tool, access to fewer users will ensure efficient tracking of personalization changes done in your application. • Testing • Personalization should not be performed in production instances directly. • Upgrades/Patches • Upgrades and patches *MAY* change the underlying filenames and location, hence the need to test personalization changes subsequently. • Migration • Migration using standard oracle practices will ensure that the metadata of your personalization changes remains intact and can be reapplied if lost during upgrades or patches.
