Guide me to learn Oracle APPS Technical

Hi All,
I am currently working on Forms and Reports.
I am very much interested to move into Oracle Apps Technical.
Can anyone guide me where to start and which books to follow.
Appreciate your Help.
Thanks & Regards,
Maddy.

Maddy,
What do you mean by technical? Are you referring to Apps DBA role or Functional role? Please note that there is a big difference between the two roles, and I suggest you refer to the following thread for more details:
Technical vs. Functional
Technical vs. Functional
If you are planning to move to the Apps DBA (technical) field, I would suggest you start with Oracle Apps Documentation.
Applications Releases 11i and 12
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/applications.html
- Oracle Applications Concepts
- Oracle Applications Installation Guide: Using Rapid Install
- Maintaining Oracle Applications Documentation Set
- Oracle Applications System Administrator's Documentation Set
Once you get familiar with the architecture and the different components of Oracle Apps, consider the following:
- Do an Apps installation yourself (on Linux/Windows)
- Set up users/responsibilities/printers/CM ..etc
- Practice Cloning
- Apply Patches
- Practice AutoConfig to manage system configurations
- Upgrade Database/Application
Go for Oracle Apps training if you can afford it. Moreover, consider to get the following books:
(Oracle Applications DBA Field Guide)
http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Applications-DBA-Field-Guide/dp/1590596447
(Installing, Upgrading and Maintaining Oracle E-Business Suite Applications Release 11.5.10+)
http://www.amazon.com/Installing-Upgrading-Maintaining-E-Business-Applications/dp/0615141226/
Oracle Applications DBA Covers 11i and R12
http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Applications-DBA-Covers-11i/dp/0070077290
Oracle blogs are good source of information; there are plenty of blogs available now:
Applications & Apps Technology

Good Luck!

    Please help me in this regardWhat all you have studied is basics. And in the institutes they only teach you 5% of actual work, Yes only 5%. They can not teach the whole 5 years learning just in few classes.
    In real time When you are working as a technical consultant, you get to speak to functional consultants a lot of time for developing reports, customization, creating custom forms.... So thats why the interviewer has asked a mixture of both technical and functional.
    The questions they asked also depends on the number of years experience you have in the resume ;).
    How ever you can gain more knowledge from blogs and forums like this.
    I will point you to few of them
    Your first step should be reading all the documents related to technical filed from the following link.
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B53825_08/current/html/docset.html
    Then read atleast 10 to 15 real time issues related to your field from forums like this.
    and read posts from oracle apps technical gurus like Anil Passi,
    http://oracle.anilpassi.com/basic-concepts-list-of-useful-oracle-apps-articles-2.html
    and links to all the technical blogs can be found at

    Best of luck and you will get a job soon.

    plz let me know i am very confused,i can't decide on this one plz help me out...?So what is the definition of " oracle apps technical consultant"
    or "oracle apps dba"
    These are not universal technical terms with clear meanings. ALL job titles mean only what the person/organization using them means for them to mean.
    Which will be good for you?
    Only you can decide that, based partly on the answer to my first question, and partly on what you want out of life. (And notice I said "what you want out of *life*", not what you want out of a job, or a career.)
