Thierry,
I am curious to know about Fusion. I heard that Oracle Reports and Forms will not be used from R12 onwards. Is it so ?
And anything new that we need to improve ourselves against the Fusion Application ?
Any interesting new features for HRMS in Fusion ?

Interesting Information about Hyperion User Groups and Conferences

Ed Roske has an interesting post on his blog, including a letter from John Kopcke (SVP of EPM at Oracle). There is a lot of content discussing the disbandment of the Hyperion User Groups and the absorption by OAUG with the new Hyperion SIG (Special Interest Group). In addition there is discussion of conference's focusing on Hyperion content.
Take a look at http://looksmarter.blogspot.com/2008/06/john-kopckes-letter-to-hyperion.html

Oh, and I will be there also, and might just have a Pro Oracle Spatial book or two to give away.

Siebel CRM On Demand User Group

Not sure if this specifically fits under this particular forum but...
Does anyone know if there is a specific Siebel CRM On Demand Users Group? I am aware of the Oracle Application Users Group etc, but I'm not sure if it caters for the On Demand model of Siebel, or just the Enterprise model.
If anyone knows which group(s) serve Siebel CRM On Demand users either globally, regionally or locally (especially in Australia), please post the details.
Regards,
Cameron

Hi Kathy,
I believe a users group would be beneficial in APAC (particularly in regional locations e.g. Australia, New Zealand etc).
I would see it serving multiple roles -:
1. To act as a forum for Siebel CRM On Demand users to share their collective knowledge and experience with the product.
2. To act as a collective voice for Siebel CRM On Demand users.
3. To act as a conduit for communication from Oracle to their customers, and in turn from the customer to Oracle.
4. To promote and facilitate educational offerings and training opportunities.
5. To promote and facilitate networking opportunities.
In a nut shell, it should serve to promote Knowledge, Advocacy, Communication, Education and Networking.
If I'm not mistaken, such groups exist and represent the user base of just about every product that Oracle sells except for Siebel CRM On Demand. I feel that it is important for the Siebel CRM On Demand user base to be able to benefit from a users group similarly representing them.
That being said, I can understand why you would have conflicting opinions on the usefulness of such a tool in APAC. As a region, Asia Pacific is particularly diverse and as such, a users group would have to be capable of representing the interests and needs of each unique demographic.
Regards,
Cameron.

Reengineering Desktop Thick Workgroups into Web
Rich Enterprise Clients
Bryan Hall, Spatial Architect, L-3 Communications
Jeff Walawender, Senior Software Engineer, L-3 Communications
Cost cutting requires reengineering spatial solutions to directly address business requirements. But enterprise computing for spatial data has, with even "Web 2.0", required the user to lose the responsiveness and feedback that traditional desktop thick client GIS software has provided. We took a different approach in the re-engineering effort and concentrated on making it work as much like a traditional desktop thick client - while simplifying use, making editing more reliable, and actually speeding up rendering. All this, while only supporting one versioned Oracle Spatial database, and application tier for all users.
Complete eGovernment solution at City of Bolzano
Stefan Putzer, CreaForm
Giulio Lavoriero, Director of Engineering, CreaForm
The City of Bolzano, Italy has a unique, complete editing and publishing environment for geographical data. The Oracle Spatial-based enterprise editing environment supports import and export into geospatial tools from Bentley and ESRI, and network modeling from Oracle Spatial. Data is shared with GeoJAX, an easy-to-use geographical web browser that uses the Oracle MapViewer framework in combination with J2EE and AJAX for browsing Oracle Spatial data. This provides a flexible viewer supports spatial queries, and can be fully customized (style and functionality). Users can easily import any kind of geographical data from an ESRI file, edit it with a CAD precision functionality and make those data visible to anyone via the web in a very short time.

Oracle User Group in Germany

Hello,
I just came back from the DOAG (German Oracle User Group)
conference. HTML db seems to be much more popular than I
thought - and that's good. There were no free chairs in the
room at all. People were sitting on the floor.
Tomorrow is the second day. There are at least three or
four topics related to HTML db. Happy to have a chance to
attend the courses.
More and more people are starting to realize and admit
than HTML db is much, much more than just a replacement
for Access and Excel. It is making competition to Oracle
own products that have this heavy aura of "serious"
programming interfaces (J2EE, Portal,
...). People are using it with SAP, BAAN or standalone.
I saw the roadmap for HTML db. Looks quite promising. If
only the half of the planned features appear in the next
version it will become unbeatable (and I was told it is
unbreakable?).
They demonstrated the new "session state protection"
feature using checksum. This was one of the bigger issues.
Now, it doesn't seem to be an issue any more.

Denes,
Thanks for posting this update from DOAG. Unfortunately, I was unable to make it.

Queries about Oracle User Groups

Hi,
I am planning to move to US in few months. I would like to join in any Oracle user group and attend sessions from industry experts.
I would like to get some advices on
1) Should i join in IOUG (Independent Oracle Users Group) or
2) Should i prefer to join in the user group where i will be working?
I checked IOUG website and found there are many benefits and i can even view webcasts if i can attend sessions directly.
Can someone explain me which one should i prefer or how people are generally enrolling themselves for these users group.
Thanks
Sarayu

As in anything Oracle, "it depends."
Certainly the IOUG big yearly conference is worthwhile for most people. If you have to choose between that and Open World, it depends what you want. The best way is to get expert enough at something to be a presenter at both, that has both career and potentially remunerative rewards. But you need your employer to support you. Simply preparing for a presentation can make you more of an expert than you would have believed.
Local groups vary - some wind up just being mouthpieces for vendors or certain possibly silly methodologies, others are as good as the big conferences. All one can say is "go and see."
My personal opinion, having been going to user conferences for 30 years, is they can be the best deal around. But you have to put something into it to get anything out of it. People like to help you, and appreciate it if you help them.

OPA at UK Oracle User Group in Birmingham Dec 1, 2009

I will be making a presentation on OPA at the forthcoming UK Oracle User Group conference at the ICC at Birmingham. This is a major conference for the Technology and E-Business Suite parts of Oracle, running from Monday November 30 to Wednesday December 2. There are 12 different tracks plus Masterclasses and Roundtables, with 5 presentations per day, so a huge range of subjects is covered. Oracle employees make many presentations, but consultancies and end users also contribute.
I have been allocated the final presentation in Track 9 on Tuesday, with a title of "Extending Oracle E-Business Suite to use Haley Office Rules". As far as I can see, it is the only mention of Rules in the whole conference. As I am the only barrier between tired delegates and the bar, the presentation will aim to be light hearted but instructional.
I would be delighted to meet any OPA Forum members at the event and in the bar afterwards.
More details of the event are at http://techandebs.ukoug.org/default.asp?p=3232

Thanks for posting this event to the OPA forum David. It is great to see the partner community spreading the word on OPA, especially in a form like your presentation where you'll be highlighting real world experience of an OPA implementation.
I'd love to see your presentation, but wont be able to attend. Will it be recorded or available virtually for those unable to travel to be there? Perhaps you could post your slides to this forum after the event?

Welcome to the new Oracle User Group Community

Welcome to the new Oracle User Group Community. Whether you landed here via the redirect from the previous community site - IOUC.org - or navigated here directly, welcome. This new platform brings new community features to enhance the way you connect with user group peers and with Oracle, as well as make it easier for you to find information through a more intuitive interface. We invite you to provide your feedback on the new site. Log in using your OTN Forum credentials and join the discussion here. If you do not yet have OTN Forum log in credentials, navigate to http://community.oracle.com/community, click on the "Register" link in the upper right corner of the page and create your account.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Kashif,
Glad you like the new Community. Communication among user group leaders works a little differently on this site than on the previous site. Rather than having communication focus around e-mail distribution lists, communication now is focused within the site itself. The intent is that this will provide users the one place to come for information, rather than having to sort through lots of e-mail threads. That doesn't mean that e-mail is completely out of the picture though. Users can opt-in to receive e-mail notifications when an individual piece of content is changed, or when content is posted to a space. Look for the "Receive email notifications" link under "Actions" to start receiving notices. To stop receiving notices, go back to the same content/space and click "Stop email notifications".
Your Relationship Manager will be talking with you and the other leaders in your region over the next few days and weeks regarding how you and your group of leaders want to communicate.
Best regards,
Oracle User Group Team
