Hands-on tutorial on 11i administrative activities

Dear All,
I am a new entry Oracle Apps administration. I just finisihed with a successful install (11.5.10) on WIndows XP (SP2) platform.
However, although I spent almost 3 days on reading pdfs (downloaded from oracle.com) and other sources, I couldn't track cleanly about most frequent administrative activities needed (user/ responsibilities management, workflow setups, concurrent program management etc.).
What I desperately looking for now, are some URLs/ book names where I can find hands-on type of practices (like a lab manual showing a step-by-step procedures using screenshots) for implementing frequent admisitrative activities.
To name a few, I am interested in procedures like:
1. how to add/ delete responsibilities to existing users
2. how to use profiles?
3. What is the use of standard concurrent programs provided with apps?
4. How to setup workflows (with some practical example)?
etc..
Thanks,
Irfan Ilyas

Thanks for the links.
But as I mentioned in my first message, I had already gone through the following pdfs provided on oracle.com:
1.Oracle Applications System Administrator's Guide - Security
2. Oracle Applications System Administrator's Guide - Maintenance
3.Oracle Applications System Administrator's Guide - Configuration (zipped)
The pdfs covered the concepts and other configuration details in depth without providing a lab manual type of description. I mean, i need a step-by-step procedures with screenshots explaining 'how to accomplish a practical task (say, schedule a concurrent program, create a new user etc.).
[Just to name an instance, chapter 2 of 'Maintenance guide' doesn't implement any practical scenario in terms of concurrent program usage]
What I need is something similar to programming books discussing programming code with a real-life touch (for example, creating a program for a fictitious company and explaining it line by line with screenshots of output results etc.).
I hope you got what I am looking for.
Irfan

OSR 11g hands on tutorial - standalone installation

Hi All,
I am trying to find step by step/ hands on tutorials for oracle service registry 11g. I have installed it on my laptop and wanna play around and learn how to use it. If anyone knows where i can find some good tutorials for beginners, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

I am just another beginner trying to find a way to get started with Oracle VM.
I think the answer to your question is in point 5 of the prerrequisites.
To access the GUI console of the virtual machine you will need to use a VNC viewer from a host other than the Oracle VM Server. Download a VNC Viewer such as TightVNC, to the host from which you will access the console.
+TightVNC Viewer is available for Linux and Windows. A VNC Viewer for Linux may be downloaded as an RPM from [http://oss.oracle.com/oraclevm/manager/RPMS/]. For Windows from [http://www.tightvnc.com/download.html].+
Apparently, rather than using the Manager, you use this viewer. I think it is a good thing, because the Manager is only available for Linux, while this viewer is also available for Windows. That makes it easier to get the necessary infrastructure in place. Still, one needs two computers to get Oracle VM running, so that makes me wonder if I should quit Oracle VM and stick with VMware.

Does OEM 12c supports for performing administration tasks on Oracle SOA Suite 10.1.3.5 environment ??

Hello Everyone,
I would like to start a discussion on the OEM 12c see if anyone has used for SOA Suite 10g. We are currently running on Oracle SOA Suite 10.1.3.5 we want to make use of OEM 12c for monitoring and perform administration activities. I have gone through some Oracle documents for OEM 12c,I found it's supported up to 10.1.3.4.However I am not so sure so I just wanted to clarify on this.
Can we install the client in Oracle Application Server/SOA OC4J container to perform any administration task,purging,patching,monitor interfaces etc.
I look forward to your valuable input and feedback on the discussion.

Hi,
The zip p6511843_101330_Generic.zip contains a README.txt which explains the steps to be followed to apply this patch.
In the README.txt
Refer to Section2 point No.1.
Get the latest Opatch from metalink for bug 2617419.[this zip will contain a Opatch Directory].Extract this zip into your Oracle SOA home.[ex: C:/product/101.3.1/OracleAS_1]
Also make sure that the Opatch directory in set in the path.
Since we are running this Opatch on a Basic SOA installtion , you don't have to execute the changeNamesWindows.pl script[make sure that you have installed Basic version of SOA and not the Advanced].
This patch will not work on Advanced Install.
You can directly excute
opatch apply.
Follow the remaining steps mentioned in README.txt.

Control Design and Simulation Tutorial

Hi
I'm starting off with a coursework which requires use of the Control Design and Simulation functions. Before I ask any silly questions i'd like to see the hand on tutorial, it's referenced in this white paper.
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5855/en/
However the ftp link to the tutorial doesn't work, does anyone else have an alternative link, or could supply the tutorial directly.
I appreciate any assistance.
Kind Regards

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hmm, thanks. It must've been the proxy server in the office. Disabled and it downloaded it via the wifi.
Thanks

Solution Manager Change Management: Transport Request Administration

Hi.
We want to use the CHARM functionality of Solution Manager to improve our transport operations. We have several customers and expend´s a lot of time making tranports to different systems.
I don want to activate CHARM completely. Which activities do i must perform, and which activities do i must leave ?
Regards
Alvaro

Hi Avinash
This is the Business Scenario: Our company is using SAP Solution Manager to perform monitoring and administration activities for over than 30 customers.
Dayly we espend over 85% of the basis team time making transport for all of the customers. We decide to set some internal politics to bundle transports, stablishing several releases of them, at specific hours of the day. So we want to use SOLMAN`S change logistics instead of CHARM Scenario to control and improve this activitiy, releasing time to perform other activities.

Creating interactive tutorial content - Is Director the most suitable program to learn?

I have no experience using Adobe Director. I have just downloaded the trial version and had a look at a handful of tutorial videos. Before I get stuck in with it, I would appreciate advice on whether Director is suitable for my intended purposes:
I want to start making English language learning content and want to learn one or two programs for creating programs for online/apps,etc... I need to start learning something that I can start using quickly to create programs/internet pages/apps to create educational content with video, audio. Is Director the right choice?
A typical 'lesson' might consist of the following: A short video clip of real life or TV/film entertainment followed by interactive exercises / games for whatever area of language focus is chosen for the lesson. I imagine I would need to prepare my video outside the program first - chopping up the clips I want to use - perhaps chopping short clips e.g. one sentence phrases, and then perhaps extracting out the audio and using just that in various ways. I would want to add my own text and so on. I would obviously have to start out fairly basic but I want a program that can be expanded on as much as possible. For example, the ability to make the program store correct/incorrect responses and react accordingly - repeating content that students have not yet mastered, perhaps also creating audio clips... Would something like recording of student spoken performance also be possible - and at a stretch, bringing in voice recognition?? That would be way down the line - at the outset I would be happy with something that is more or less like a lesson - presentation with video as my main content, followed by a handful of interactive exercises.
At this stage I would focus on just one medium e.g. basic web page materials for my personal students to access for homework - but in future have the ability to transfer the lesson content to multimedia educational/games if that's possible.
I see there is a whole suite of Adobe products to choose from. Do I need to learn a handful of these, if so which? Also there is the issue of cost as at the outset I would be using this just for learning purposes and to use with my own students. I highly doubt my company would be willing to pay for the programs / subscription - at least until I have spent enough time creating content to get some decent useful results and for them to see the value in it. So I would be on my own at the outset in terms of putting the time in and paying to use the software.
I am aware that my questions may be extremely broad, perhaps not easy to answer succinctly - but any advice anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated - even if it's just to let me know that I am on the right track in guessing that Director will do the job. Suggestions for other programs that I could look at either as alternatives, or for use in conjunction with Director (what about Flash??).
It seems a massive program and I will need to learn a basic subset of tools within the program to get me started, so any guidance on narrowing down what I need to focus on would be a great help.
Any help/suggestions are very welcome

The answer is absolutely no to your question, "Is Director the most suitable program to learn?".
Director is a dead technology. Do not waste hundreds of hours learning it. Also forget Flash. It's going away. I would not waste time learning that either.
I suggest learning HTML5 & JavaScript. Obviously you can develop interactive multimedia for the web with these, but increasingly IDEs and frameworks are being developed that use these two languages; enabling you to write once and export to multiple platforms.
The following are some technologies that you should consider. Some are free. Others are free until you publish a title or want to upgrade to the professional version.

WebCenter 11g Ps3 Tutorial: need your input

I am starting a little new project. The idea is to build a hands on tutorial about webcenter ps3. In the tutorial you will build a complete webcenter portal from scratch. I will explain every single line of code we will write. We will start with a regular webcenter portal application and build from there on so no pre build application were we only do a few modification. Everything will be explained from scratch.
By the end of the tutorial you should be able to build a fully portal by yourself.
I have an outline ready for the tutorial but i also want your input. If you guys want a topic covered in the tutorial, please let me know and i can consider it adding it to the tutorial.
You can leave a comment here or add it to my blogpost about it: http://www.yonaweb.be/coming_soon_webcenter_11g_ps3_tutorial

Its sounds good, We are looking for the following things,
1) JSR 286 Portlet Creation and communication between the portlets
2) Template Creation(Header, Footer, Left menu templates like)
3) Multi skin facility(Theme based on the user choice)
4) Login Page integration with any LDAP
Hope i make sence, Thanks in advance...

Hello Lalitha,
SAP Processing Monitorization Checklist
Administrative personnel proactively monitor the system to identify processing errors and/or issues.
Understand the procedures in place and tools used to proactively monitor the system to identify processing errors and/or issues (i.e. BMC-Patrol, home-grown systems, Control/M, etc.) Ensure that the scheduled daily tasks checklist includes the following:
-Run transaction SM51 and check that all servers are up
-Run transaction RZ20 and check the CCMS alert monitor for alerts
-Run transaction SM50 and ensure that all work processes have a running or waiting status
-Run transaction SM13 and look for any failed updates. Check for lines with Err.
-Run transaction SM21 and check the system log. Check for: errors, warnings, security messages, abends, database problems, and any other different events.
-Run transaction SM12 and check for old locks. Check for entries from prior days.
-Run transactions SM04 and AL08 and review for any unknown or different user IDs and terminals.
-Run transaction ST22 and review and resolve dumps. Look for excessive numbers of dumps and look for dumps of an usual number.
-Run transaction ST03 and review workload statistics.
-Run transaction ST02 and review buffer statistics. Look for swaps.
-Run transactions AL02 and ST04 and review error log for problems.
Alternatively, administrators may execute transaction code SSAA (R/3 Administrative Activities), rather than executing all of the above transaction codes individually.
If CCMS is not used, determine the tools used to proactively monitor the system. Ensure that the tool is used effectively and that the tasks outlined above are monitored.
RZ20 or CCMS is a Central Monitor tool for monitoring the entire system landscape. We can create Alert to monitor specific devation of the system behaviour.
