Oracle E-Business Suite Tablespace Model and the Tablespace Migration Utility (OATM)



What is OATM ?
The Oracle Applications Tablespace Model (OATM) -- sometimes also called the Oracle E-Business Suite Tablespace Model) -- organizes the EBS database by object type rather than by products.  Prior to OATM, the EBS database had two tablespaces for each product, resulting in 380+ tablespaces.  OATM contains only twelve locally-managed tablespaces.  This simplifies management and requires fewer operating system files.
If you are using a lower version of Oracle EBS you and you want to upgrade to 12 you have possibility to consolidate these tablespace and the utility used for this novel cause is called OATM migration utility steps are documented in MOSC patch number 3942506


Is OATM mandatory?
No, it's optional, but it is recommended that you use OATM to make the management easier


Can I use OATM with EBS 12.2?
The OATM Tablespace Migration Utility cannot be used after you enable Online Patching in EBS 12.2.
If you do not migrate to OATM, you have to  continue to manage your tablespaces separately after enabling Online Patching.
