The OA (Oracle Applications) Personalization Framework, a component of the OA Framework, enables you to modify the appearance and behavior of self-service pages. You can customize your web pages in line with corporate standards and data requirements, and streamline your self-service process flows to reflect working practices.

Meta Data Services Repository

The MDS (Meta Data Services) Repository stores the base page definitions for self-service pages and you can create personalizations are which are stored separately from the base page definitions. Your personalizations are preserved during upgrades because upgrades only affect the base page definitions.
